Package: gri-el
Version: 2.12.9-1
Severity: normal

This version of gri-el does not function correctly with version
3.6.1-7 of gv.  I don't remember exactly when, but the gv command line
syntax changed recently, such that the gri-view command in gri-mode.el
no longer functions correctly.

In particular, the "-landscape" command seems to have been replaced with
"--orientation=landscape"; "-scale N" with "--scale=N"; "-watch" with
"--watch"; "-noantialias" with "--noantialias"; etc.

Another problem is that (at least in this context) gv now requires the
full path to the ps file to be sent, meaning that at least lines
2893-2894 of gri-mode.el need to be changed to remove the
"file-name-nondirectory" command which strips the path while
constructing the "psfile" name.

I almost attached a patch, but I really don't know what I'm doing in
lisp, and there are probably other issues to be resolved.  The basic
point is that if the gv support is to work with the new gv,
gri-mode.el needs to be updated.  I guess part of the problem is that
this package doesn't have any dependencies on a gv package version,
but since this is only a small part of the functionality I'm not
sure that is appropriate.
