Hi all, The current version of ghostscript may indeed confuse users since it does not provide output device for X11 while it claims to do so. Let ghostscript not to provide gs and gs-*, however, may not be a final solution. The main reason is that the original gs-* packages are in fact not splitted into two versions at all: X version and non-X version. Therefore, given the new packaging policy, the packages, which depend on gs or gs-gpl or gs-esp, have to be repackaged now; each package must know whether it needs X11.so or not and then depends on ghostscript-x or ghostscript. This solution is clean but time demanding.
By the way, a suggestion for the names of packages: is it possible to change ghostscript-x to ghostscript, and rename ghostscript to ghostscript-nox? This naming policy may be more consistent with other debian packages. e.g., vim and vim-nox, emacs22 and emacs22-nox, etc. Thanks. -- HZ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
