Important fixes for FreeBSD
Patches from files subdir went into this new release
General fixes:
- remove apsfilter installation error when typing "make install"
by using ln's -f (force) option to overwrite an existing symlink
(just in case you overwrite another installation).
- fix some HP driver mapping in MAPPING file
FreeBSD specific fixes:
- make apspreview work again for FreeBSD (and possibly *BSD).
BSD uses a sed implementation, that uses only "normal" regular
expressions for backward compatibility not to break existing scripts.
Linux (GNU sed) uses "modern REs". We use now awk which turns out
to be more portable between different Unix flavours.
We use awk instead of sed in other scripts as well (SETUP,
aps2file).
- import a patch from FreeBSD ports collection necessary for
FreeBSD-current to use "user:group" syntax for chown. Old
style "user.group" to change owner && group isn't supported
anymore. Linux's implementation of chown (from GNU) groks
new syntax.
Please note: hpijs 1.0 driver core dumps have been fixed by me some
hours ago with the kind help of HP. So you can now savely
use the new HPIJS driver with gs and apsfilter. Have fun.
- Important fix, therefore PORTREVISION bumped.
background info: hpijs currently may not compiled with -O or -O2.
Simply leaving out any optimization (like it was default in prior
hpijs versions) cures the problem.
Many thanks to David Suffield from HP-Vancouver.
- update to new version 7.2.0
- update pkg-plist (4 new bjc driver scripts, apsfilter4.png)
- update SETUP patch for FreeBSD-current (chown xxx:yyy syntax, which
is currently not included in apsfilter, am unsure, if all Linux and
Solaris support this, can somebody please clarify ? Thanks)
Highlights of the new apsfilter version (new features):
- printing to Novell remote printer supported, now apsfilter supports
all important types of remote printer (Novell, Unix/lpd, Microsoft,
AppleTalk)
- save network traffic by telling remote lpd and Netware printer scheduler,
to manage copies of a print jobs themselves, this saves you sending
a print job n times over the network (when printing with:
"lpr -C copies=20 large_file.ps"
- Testinstallations of apsfilter under $HOME for testing/migration
planning supported. Test then using aps2file ...
This works for non-root user. configure knows 2 new options for
that purpose, to customize printcap and spooldir location under
$HOME, /tmp or whereever, you get the idea
FIXES:
- BJC script fixes, never ending story, 4 new subtypes of printers
with different print capabilities.
- Security: SETUP uses secure tmpdir
- you can rename printer now or add printer aliases now
aps2file and apspreview understand now to handle aliases (this was
tricky/expensive but doable)
- different fixes see ANNOUNCE / ChangeLog file
The interactive script will be updated later.
Don't bump port revision, since next following commit
will contain new apsfilter release, that is now in the
queue, before I finished polishing interactive installartion.
But I didn't want to mix this change and the new apsfilter
version in one commit.
- Move all stuff specific to kde core ports to x11/kde2/Makefile.kde.
+ Default to compile optimized for speed, not debugging, in ports
builds, not just packages. We don't really get that many backtraces
or debugging information, and there's a better way to provide these
things to people willing to spend some time working on KDE. It's
at (as announced before): http://freebsd.kde.org/.
- Remove teTeX dependency for kdegraphics2 upon request, and being unable
to find any reason not to. Apparently, kdegraphics still compiles
libkdvi and kdvi -- I guess dvips is merely a runtime dependency.
Therefore to enable its use one just needs to add the teTeX package.
Bump PORTREVISION to reflect dependency change.
- Fix koffice port by removing PYTHON_VERSION, which is unnecessary.
