Hi Jonas, Thanks for the help again - have now been able to reproduce your tiff issue. Progress :) Will have a stab at getting something working tomorrow!

Great! Regarding build environment: You might also consider these: eatmydata ccache (and ccontrol) approx (or apt-cacher-ng) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature
Ghostscript 9.18 packaging
Hello! I've encountered an issue with GS 9.16 where it fails to render some of my customers pdf's correctly into PNG's. 9.18 seems to resolve the issue. I saw on the Ghostscript package tracker that there was already a note to suggest packaging the new version. Is someone already working on this? If not, I'd be happy to have a stab at it. I've got _some_ packaging experience, although the last time I built a deb was probably around 2006 :) Just wanted to check if someone was already doing this or not. Would love to contribute. Best regards, Damian

I have a bad habit of doing far too big chunks of work offline, and have now pushed my preliminary attempt at packaging 9.18: It fails to build, apparently due to some libtiff linkage not properly handling the use of shared libraries which I am enforcing by stripping the convenience code copies upstream used to ship.

Re: Ghostscript 9.18 packaging
Hi Jonas! Thank you so much! Have pulled your latest changes. I'm actually stuck a bit earlier on in the process - running $ fakeroot debian/rules build hangs. cp ./soobj/sjbig2_jbig2dec.dev ./soobj/sjbig2.dev make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'soobj/sjpx_.dev', needed by 'soobj/sjpx.dev'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/ddimmich/ghostscript' base/unix-dll.mak:149: recipe for target 'so-only-subtarget' failed make[2]: *** [so-only-subtarget] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ddimmich/ghostscript' base/unix-dll.mak:122: recipe for target 'so' failed make[1]: *** [so] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ddimmich/ghostscript' /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/makefile.mk:47: recipe for target 'debian/stamp-makefile-build' failed make: *** [debian/stamp-makefile-build] Error 2 Any idea what I'm missing? Will keep at it!
