Ghostscript is the well-known PostScript interpreter which is available for
all common and most esoteric platforms and supports many different printers
and some displays.
Versions entitled "GNU Ghostscript" are distributed with the GNU General
Public License, which allows free use, and free copying and redistribution
under certain conditions (including, in some cases, commercial distribution).
This distribution is based on GNU Ghostscript and provides the "driver" for
CUPS that supports non-PostScript printer drivers within CUPS.

===> The following configuration options are available for cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_8:
CJK=off: Japanese PostScript documents processing
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Combine print/cups-base, print/cups-client and print/cups-image into
print/cups and update it to 2.1.3. Also remove print/cups-pstoraster,
improve print/cups-filters, print/foomatic-* and update print/hplip to
3.16.2.
Long description:
First some background. When you hand a file to cups it sets up a chain of
filter programs that converts the file to something a printer understands.
Each filter has a cost associated with it and cups tries to find the
cheapest chain. Costs used to be configured in such a way that files were
first converted to PostScript. This could then be manipulated further (e.g.
putting multiple pages on one sheet) before finally being sent to a
PostScript printer or another filter like pstoraster which produces a raster
format understood by non-PostScript printer drivers. Nowadays most filters
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
print/cups-pstoraster is not jobs safe
The gconfig.h file is involved in a race; it is used before it is copied
to its destination. This port has failed on my at least twice.
Convert code in bsd.port.mk for USE_GHOSTSCRIPT* to USES=ghostscript.
Add GHOSTSCRIPT_DEFAULT to bsd.default-versions.mk for easy version selection.

japanese/font-std, chinese/font-std, and dependency fixups due
to it have been added. These are to install standard fonts used in the
Ports Collection. Currently they contain:
std.ja_JP/Mincho
std.ja_JP/Gothic
std.ja_JP/Ryumin-Light
std.ja_JP/GothicBBB-Medium
std.zh_CN/STHeiti-Regular
std.zh_CN/STSong-Light
std.zh_CN/MSung-Light
std.zh_CN/MHei-Medium
under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/. They are just symlinks to
corresponding font files. The symlink names are based on popular
PostScript font names.
Applications should refer the font files via XLFD or fontconfig
first. If they need a direct reference to the font file, please use
files in std.*/*. This is because direct reference to a specific
font name in an application configuration file makes the maintenance
difficult when the font file name is changed, for example.
Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Thank you for your contributions, you
will be greatly missed.
Remove the StUdLyCaPs from maintainer name, 'cause some folks won't realize
mail's case insensitive and will try to type that. Sorry folks, purely a
cosmetic change here, nothing to see, move along, move along....
Found the problem. If it found a glib, which would only be a non-ports
glib, it would try to build Omni(?) drivers. We turn that off at config time
and no more problem.

New port: print/cups-pstoraster, a very limited version of easy software's
ghostscript customizations for print/cups-base. Only needed if you don't have a
postscript printer. This is untested, as I have a postscript printer. Please if
you are a target user, test this! Thanks to KATO for the skeleton of the port
itself.
