Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.01-5
Severity: normal

Hello,

Using the new GPL Ghostscript 8.15 (released in November 2004) I am able
to run an IJS module that segfaults on the Debian version of gs-gpl
(8.01).  Would it be possible to use this new upstream version now that
it is GPL?

The IJS module is a Braille printer driver, currently in development.
It works with 8.14 and above.  It would have an impact on the
suitability of Debian for a number of charities and educational
establishments that own a Tiger Braille embosser if the new upstream
version was to be adopted.

Thanks for your time, best regards,


Matthew
