machine). So here now some bugfixes to make SETUP work again !
* SETUP: fix permissions of $SPOOLDIR
700 was to restrictive for BSD.
TODO: "clone" permissions of $SPOOL
* SETUP: bugfix: BSD needs /usr/sbin in PATH to find chown.
added /sbin as well, since this is unexpensive and possibly
needed for other systems.
* SETUP: cosmetic, reformat menues to still fit within 25 lines
* SETUP: fix: grep -c needs an argument (".") in echo "\c" | grep -c .
to work on FreeBSD and possibly other BSDs with GNU grep 2.4
my dual PIII-700 trying to figure out the sizes of the
primary and secondary caches. The sizes turned out to be
rather wrong (definetly true for the L2 cache, may be L1
is indeed 32Kb). Their algorithm seems bogus to me, but
most importantly, the obtained values are NOT USED
anywhere in the GhostScript code... One of the submitted
patches rips the "cache size" section from the genarch
entirely.
The attached modification and new patches also:
. replace the use of mktemp/fopen with mkstemp/fdopen
. modify the unix-gcc.mak so that there is no need for
GNU-make

apsfilter 6.0-RELEASE.
- The installation directory changed
from ${PREFIX}/apsfilter
to ${PREFIX}/share/apsfilter
- Its possible to run SETUP on a NFS client from mounted ${PREFIX}/share
and so to install apsfilter on NFS clients ...
- Now Linux and FreeBSD have the same installation directory.
- /etc/apsfilter contains since 6.0 (2 weeks ago) a little directory
structure for every printer.
- Switching between apsfilter releases is possible by simply changing
the destination of the symblic link /etc/apsfilter/basedir.
Apsfilter V 6.0 _is_ in my humble opineon stable and useable and
the best apsfilter release ever since filtersetup and such things
have gone ... apsfilter has been modernized from ground up.
So please test test test.

* SETUP: use "-" instead of "-_", as reported from
Hal Bower. To make print_testpage work on every gs version.
For printing the test page this is enough.
* info file fix: use new domain "apsfilter.org"
* refresh info concerning mailing-lists, the following are
available now:
- apsfilter-announce Announcements
- apsfilter-chat talk/chat around apsfilter and printing
- apsfilter-current developer version of apsfilter
- apsfilter-cvs Commit Messages of Apsfilter Developers

Add patch 5.4.2 to RELENG_5
Things that makes me wonder:
a) patch is unable to remove make-release, that vanished in RELENG_5
so I had to remove the diff for that. Don't know if our patch is
so dumb, or if cvs diff doesn't generate the right things.
The complete diff concerning this is rejected.
b) the CONFIGURE TARGET OF OUR PORTS COLLECTION STILL doesn't work.
Could someone please tell me, if I missed something ???
Suddenly the apsfilter configure script isn't executed anymore
and so the apsfilter port doesn't create Makefile.inc to resolve
the port dependencies, when being called "interactively"...
XFree86 (3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set.
XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can
override it in /etc/make.conf. When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB
will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the
dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries. When
XFREE86_VERSION=4, the PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS and ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS
hacks to avoid messing with XFree86 are turned off.
Since XFree86 version 4 includes some software that used to be
separate ports, when XFREE86_VERSION=3 the following variables are
provided:
USE_DGS LIB_DEPENDS on x11/dgs
USE_FREETYPE LIB_DEPENDS on print/freetype
USE_MESA LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/Mesa3
USE_XPM LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/xpm
When XFREE86_VERSION=4, these variables have no effect. The
LIB_DEPENDS in the tree for the above four ports have all been
converted to the USE_* counterparts. For your information, this
is the count of the number of ports:
USE_DGS 0
USE_FREETYPE 16
USE_MESA 36
USE_XPM 236
There is a new variable, XAWVER, which is set to 6 when
XFREE86_VERSION=3 and 7 when XFREE86_VERSION=4. This is also
passed to PLIST_SUB so ports that build Xaw based shared libraries
can use this variable to substitute the shlib version number.
There is also a provision of using a separate mtree file for
XFREE86_VERSION=4, but that part is not enabled yet.

Tested by: make index (XFREE86_VERSION=3 only)

Many thanks to the FreeBSD developer team, Jordan, WC,
who made distribution of apsfilter possible for years.
Changes:
- checksums changed
- Redesign concerning patches to save CVS repository space
remove patches in patches directory completely !
- use PATCHFILES in Makefile instead, which are actually
smaller changes !
(2) Now it is not necessary to exist a file "info/dir"
when install-info is executed.
By (1) and (2), I removed the next line:
[ -f %D/info/dir ] || sed -ne 1,/Menu:/p /usr/share/info/dir > %D/info/dir
from PLIST or Makefile

o Additional "post-5.4.2 Release" features:
- AppleTalk Remote printer support (via netatalk's pap(1) utility).
Experimental, please test !
- new revised uniprint profiles from Harold Bower <HalBower@worldnet.att.net>
and additionally some new for:
- Epson Stylus 800 (Monochrome) and
- Epson LQ-570/870/1070/1170 24-pin Dot-Matrix
- prevent printing of an empty page when using raw printer, default is off now.
- bugfix: older gs versions (< v6.x) doesn't support "-_", which allows more efficient read operation. The bug prevented apsfilter to work with the
older gs versions.
- bugfix: hpdj (3rd party gs driver) doesn't like the -sBitsPerPixel option. So stripp it off, if using hpdj driver.
- FAQ file cleanups
- better hpdj driver defaults for HP DJ 970 printers
- some cleanups in code when printing PDF files
- and other things ....
Hi,
by accident I found that a2ps dumps core if invoked with
options for the old a2ps version.
a2ps -f -F7.0
reproduces the problem. With the following patch the problem
seems to be cured.
The patches work.

Line up the rhs of variable assignments nicely. Remove a couple of extra

Along with cosmetic changes to other parts of the metaport
for the new shared library version numbers.
Plus. The metaport has been reworked to bring in a few more
often-requested items.
Please note that you absolutely need GTK/GLIB 1.2.8 or higher
for this release.
if you want apsfilters so called "CLASS support" when suppressing the
printing of banner page.
CLASS support enables you to enter gs driver specific commands
on the command line via lpr's -C option, i.e.:
lpr -C high:presentation file.ps
Normally this only works when you configure lpd to print the banner page.
Only then additional lines are inserted in the print jobs control file.
apsfilters standard printcap installation always uses :sh:,
therefore you need the patch for lpr.c, to write those "CLASS informations"
into the print jobs control file, no matter if :sh: is configured in
printcap or not.
