Bug#805357: cups-pdf: Print job with multiple input files doesn't work

2022-08-06 Thread наб 
Control: found 805357 3.0.1-14

Got bit by this on bullseye cups + (backported) sid cups-pdf.

In this case i can only reproduce this with a postscript file,
I'm using the attached one: specifying it thrice hangs the PDF process
below cupsd -l; I managed to unstick it by removing the respective
/var/spool/cups/d$job-* files and restarting cups.service.

In the case of attached, the output (when using just one) is
horrifically mangled, as compared to using something like gv(1)
(or a plain gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE  -r600  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite),
but that's another issue, I'm assuming? Or is this some aspect of this
postscript that explodes it both ways? Please advise.

Best,
наб

Bug#992893: ps2ascii: odd option handling

2021-08-24 Thread наб 
Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.53.3~dfsg-7
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

ps2ascii handles default arguments really oddly, including shelling out
for each test (note the "()") and doesn't quote GS_EXECUTABLE,
unlike the other scripts in lib/; please consider the attached patch,
which also uses symbolic names for the trap signals

Best,
наб

The DeFoMa page on the Debian Wiki and the corresponding manpage are an
interesting look down history lane (ancient history, I seem to've been
around 10 during the transition), thanks!

It's attachment 2, debbugs caught it:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=992889;msg=5

I've included it in this mail, too, for good measure.
