Re: Need to update GhostScript package in the Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) Repository
Hi, I have discussed this problem with the upstream developers of Ghostscript at Artifex and the problem is NOT fixed by the official 8.61 release of Ghostscript. It appeared as fixed as the problem occurs only with Ghostscript built as dynamic library (the case for Gutsy) and not for a static build (the case for a standard "./configure; make; sudo make install" as users did with the official Ghostscript (which is not available as Gutsy package). The Artifex developers are working on a solution and I hope that I can soon post it as a Stable Release Update for Gutsy.

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) Gaurav is essentially requesting an SRU. Gaurav, you probably want to read this, as it outlines the steps necessary to get an updated package into 7.10: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates -Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
