https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724383 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724383#c0 Summary: Upgrade ghostscript to 9.02 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@suse.com ReportedBy: volker3204@paradise.net.nz QAContact: jsmeix@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) SUSE Please upgrade ghostscript to 9.02, because 9.00 has problems I count as critical. ghostscript 9.00 segfaults on input creating for device-independent output mode and using -dUseCIEColor. A trivial way to recreate this is described here: #bnc696814 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696814 (sorry I don't find any help for markup to use here to refer to other bugs) The problem is fixed in gs 9.02, which I verified with the 9.02 package from jsmeix's home repo. I've had this problem also with files from elsewhere, not just with mine. Other references: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691883 I don't think this report is for the same problem afterall, because the 2 .ps files attached to that report work with gs 9.00 but the .pdf does not. http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692370 gs developer confirming the bug for 9.00 and fix for 9.01 and 9.02.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724383 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724383#c2 --- Comment #2 from Johannes Meixner <jsmeix@suse.com> 2011-10-18 07:29:32 UTC --- FYI: Regarding the "ghostscript" 9.02 package from "home:jsmeix": This is my personal playground which is severely incompatible with our official "ghostscript-library" package, see https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ghostscript&project=home%3Ajsmeix --------------------------------------------------------- ghostscript Plain upstream Ghostscript. Probably severely incompatible with our official ghostscript-library package. Do not install it! I (http://en.opensuse.org/User:Jsmeix) have it only to play around with Ghostscript. --------------------------------------------------------- Volker Kuhlmann, do you use this package? If yes, I would be very interested to get some feedback how it works in your environment. Of course it is not forbidden to install ghostscript 9.02 from "home:jsmeix" for an experienced user who can help himself if something goes wrong. Background information: As soon as possible (but for openSUSE 12.1 I had no time) I like to do with Ghostscript the same as I did in the past with sane-backends, cups, gutenprint, cups-drivers,...: Drop all our own patches to enforce a reset to 100% compliance with upstream! See the cups RPM changelog output: --------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed Jan 27 2010 jsmeix@suse.de - CUPS 1.3 -> 1.4 version upgrade and major cleanup: For the CUPS upstream changes see the CHANGES.txt file. Such a major version upgrade is the perfect chance to drop almost all our own patches to enforce a reset to almost 100% compliance with upstream. Here our openSUSE CUPS versions and their number of patches (i.e. the "Patch" entries in the cups.spec files): CUPS version 1.2.12 in openSUSE 10.3: 37 CUPS version 1.3.7 in openSUSE 11.0: 29 CUPS version 1.3.9 in openSUSE 11.1: 26 CUPS version 1.3.11 in openSUSE 11.2: 17 Of course this includes patches with backported bug fixes via our maintenance but nevertheless there were really too much openSUSE specific patches. Therefore I would like to provide CUPS 1.4 "as is" to the furthest possible extent (there are still 6 patches left). Then let's see if we get bug reports because of this. I did such a reset to 100% compliance with upstream already in the past for sane-backends and guess what: I got no single bug report at all because of this. I guess what they do at upstream is actually not so bad ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------- If you like you could help me to do the same also for Ghostscript for openSUSE after 12.1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I needed a newer gs in a hurry to be able to verify my bug reports at artifex, preferably without spending hours compiling it. Yours was the only one I could find, which I had to install with --nodeps and uninstalled again after my testing. The "severely incompatible" means to me not only that it isn't guaranteed to work, but that it is guaranteed not to work, hence there was no point in testing it in place of the 11.4 default version. I would be willing to test a newer version as time permits. It would help me if it was compiled in a way that at least allows it to be used as a replacement for the distro version so that testing for integration with yast, cups, turboprint etc is meaningful. I plan to upgrade to 12.1 when it comes out. It seems that gs 9.0X is still getting a lot of bug fixes so it'd probably be best to pick the latest one at the time t get the most fixes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
