(2) Resolve pkg PR/44400.
options.mk:
- Have new option disable-compile-inits
Makefile
- rename cidfmap to cidfmap-dist (post-extract:)
(3) Have new file Makefile.common to share with
fonts/ghostscript-cidfonts
fonts/ghostscript-cidfonts-ryumin
to set ${GS_VERSION}, and then ${GS_RESOURCEDIR}.
(4) options.mk
- Add new options,
disable-compile-inits
- Add following line for non X11 installation
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --disable-freetype
- Name change
pstorater.convs -> gstoraster.convs
(5) PLIST

alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and
follows the current standard model for alternatives (fam, motif, fuse etc).
The mechanical edits were applied via the following script:
#!/bin/sh
for d in */*; do
[ -d "$d" ] || continue
for i in "$d/"Makefile* "$d/"*.mk; do
case "$i" in *.orig|*"*"*) continue;; esac
out="$d/x"
sed -e 's;graphics/jpeg/buildlink3\.mk;mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk;g' \
-e 's;BUILDLINK_PREFIX\.jpeg;JPEGBASE;g' \
< "$i" > "$out"
if cmp -s "$i" "$out"; then
rm -f "$out"
else
echo "Edited $i"
mv -f "$i" "$i.orig" && mv "$out" "$i"
fi

- Fixed memory reallocation on bitmap size change. Reallocation is not only
needed when dimendions and margins change, but also when the color depth
changes. Fixes bugs #691029 and #691108.
- Fixed arrayoption() macro in cups_put_params() function. Array values did
not get actually set in cups.header data structure. Bug only showed via
a compiler warning.
- Silenced compiler warning by presetting c0..c3 in cups_map_cmyk() to zero.

PKGREVISION++
"@file" args get processed, fixes PR pkg/42984 from T. M. Pederson.
I'm not 100% sure that this has no side effects (the initialization
order in gs is messy and undocumented) but I haven't found any within
some weeks of testing.
bump PKGREVISION
This is the second release in the stable 8.7x series. It features
improved handling of fonts, nesting and color fixes with
transparency objects, reduced memory footprint for the halftone cache,
as well as improvements to the pxl output devices,
and the usual number of bug and robustness fixes.
which seems to actually exist is recorded. (When I updated jpeg from
6.2 to 7, the shlib major changed, ghostscript was not rebuilt, and it
failed to run.)
Proposed on tech-pkg on 22 October, with no objections received.
The license is now GPLv3 or later. A large number of issues with
transparency were fixed. Several significant fixes to font handling,
especially when generating PDF, were made. Numerous robustness,
correctness, and performance improvements were made. Security fixes
addressing CVE-2009-0583 and CVE-2009-0792 were made. New generic
Esc/Page devices, eplmono and eplcolor, were added, as well as the
cdnj500 device to support the HP DesignJet 500. The size of PostScript
integers was limited to 32 bits, as recommended in the specification.
XXX: does not fix build with cups option and jpeg7.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
Approximately 100 bugs have been fixed since the 8.63 release.
Of particular note in this release are improvements to overprint and
spot color support in documents with transparency, improvements to PDF
and PS output, proper handling of PDF-specific text rendering modes and
support for reading AES-encrypted PDF documents.
Also improved is handling of CJK text, especially in vertical writing
modes, memory footprint processing some files at high resolution and
support for using the system's default paper size on unix.
The interpreter's handling of color spaces has been moved from
PostScript code to C.
A number of the included printer drivers and cups wrappers have been
updated to support a PDF-based workflow. Also fixed are several
long-standing bugs in the pcl drivers with respect to duplex, resolution
and paper tray selection.
