version 3 of pdflib has odd restrictions for usage (and you may need to
purchase a license depending on what you do with it). It is however needed
for php4's pdf functions and is of use to many, so we'll keep a seperate
restricted port available for those of us who need it.
Support for languages other then C/C++ are turned off for now, but I may change
that (turning on perl/tcl/python support involves turning _off_ C/C++ support,
so I'll add a WITH_FOO knob later)

revamped port dependencies
- if defined(BATCH) && defined(APSFILTER_ALL)
every tool and filter supported by apsfilter will be installed
(very time and space consuming)
- if defined(BATCH)
only most necessary things are installed
If you want complete control over what to install, then don't
define BATCH or BATCH && APSFILTER_ALL, then please use the
new updated interactive method of building using dialog.
The configure script is now up to date, concerning tools needed/supported
by apsfilter and a little bit more explicite !
Thanks for Greg Lehey and friends for a vivit discussion, this
is the desired result I hope !!!

--------------------------------
Here are some small changes to the duplex code, more class stuff
and several minor tweaks:
* duplex printing:
- "forced simplex" mode was totally fscked up
(infinite loop _and_ wrong print command)
- use psselect _or_ pstops to extract odd/even pages
- one less temporary file
* new function send_mail for duplex and failure messages
* DVIPS_REVERSE and ACROREAD_REVERSE are gone; PS_UTILS
should be used to correct _all_ file formats
* new class options:
- a3,a4,letter,legal,ledger (paper size)
- a2ps,mpage,recode (ASCII filter)
- 1pps,2pps,4pps,8pps (pages per sheet)
- border,noborder,header,noheader (ASCII style)
- landscape (force orientation for ASCII and DVI)
- simplex (force non-duplex mode)
- color,mono (color handling)
* FAQ update
* slight manpage fixes
* Makefile fixes
* small cosmetic changes here and there
changes from me:
----------------
* SETUP: A -> abort, I -> install a printer, Q finish installation
I think quit is the usual leave operation
* hint for FreeBSD ports collection, not to install manpages
* SETUP, apsfilter: Change my mail address to andreas@apsfilter.org
* SETUP: make more clear how to restart the lineprinter scheduler
* SETUP: install_man_pages:
- document 'default' to not install manpages when simply
hitting RETURN, ie. when installing from FreeBSD ports
collection
- its not clear if FreeBSD user used ports collection or
not, so ask if manual pages should be installed or not
* SETUP: save 2 seconds sleep by combining a message
* FAQ, use the SGML based version
Changes to the FAQ should directly be made to the doc tree !

apsfilter 6.0-RELEASE.
- The installation directory changed
from ${PREFIX}/apsfilter
to ${PREFIX}/share/apsfilter
- Its possible to run SETUP on a NFS client from mounted ${PREFIX}/share
and so to install apsfilter on NFS clients ...
- Now Linux and FreeBSD have the same installation directory.
- /etc/apsfilter contains since 6.0 (2 weeks ago) a little directory
structure for every printer.
- Switching between apsfilter releases is possible by simply changing
the destination of the symblic link /etc/apsfilter/basedir.
Apsfilter V 6.0 _is_ in my humble opineon stable and useable and
the best apsfilter release ever since filtersetup and such things
have gone ... apsfilter has been modernized from ground up.
So please test test test.

Add patch 5.4.2 to RELENG_5
Things that makes me wonder:
a) patch is unable to remove make-release, that vanished in RELENG_5
so I had to remove the diff for that. Don't know if our patch is
so dumb, or if cvs diff doesn't generate the right things.
The complete diff concerning this is rejected.
b) the CONFIGURE TARGET OF OUR PORTS COLLECTION STILL doesn't work.
Could someone please tell me, if I missed something ???
Suddenly the apsfilter configure script isn't executed anymore
and so the apsfilter port doesn't create Makefile.inc to resolve
the port dependencies, when being called "interactively"...
XFree86 (3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set.
XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can
override it in /etc/make.conf. When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB
will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the
dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries. When
XFREE86_VERSION=4, the PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS and ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS
hacks to avoid messing with XFree86 are turned off.
Since XFree86 version 4 includes some software that used to be
separate ports, when XFREE86_VERSION=3 the following variables are
provided:
USE_DGS LIB_DEPENDS on x11/dgs
USE_FREETYPE LIB_DEPENDS on print/freetype
USE_MESA LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/Mesa3
USE_XPM LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/xpm
When XFREE86_VERSION=4, these variables have no effect. The
LIB_DEPENDS in the tree for the above four ports have all been
converted to the USE_* counterparts. For your information, this
is the count of the number of ports:
USE_DGS 0
USE_FREETYPE 16
USE_MESA 36
USE_XPM 236
There is a new variable, XAWVER, which is set to 6 when
XFREE86_VERSION=3 and 7 when XFREE86_VERSION=4. This is also
passed to PLIST_SUB so ports that build Xaw based shared libraries
can use this variable to substitute the shlib version number.
There is also a provision of using a separate mtree file for
XFREE86_VERSION=4, but that part is not enabled yet.

o Additional "post-5.4.2 Release" features:
- AppleTalk Remote printer support (via netatalk's pap(1) utility).
Experimental, please test !
- new revised uniprint profiles from Harold Bower <HalBower@worldnet.att.net>
and additionally some new for:
- Epson Stylus 800 (Monochrome) and
- Epson LQ-570/870/1070/1170 24-pin Dot-Matrix
- prevent printing of an empty page when using raw printer, default is off now.
- bugfix: older gs versions (< v6.x) doesn't support "-_", which allows more efficient read operation. The bug prevented apsfilter to work with the
older gs versions.
- bugfix: hpdj (3rd party gs driver) doesn't like the -sBitsPerPixel option. So stripp it off, if using hpdj driver.
- FAQ file cleanups
- better hpdj driver defaults for HP DJ 970 printers
- some cleanups in code when printing PDF files
- and other things ....

Along with cosmetic changes to other parts of the metaport
for the new shared library version numbers.
Plus. The metaport has been reworked to bring in a few more
often-requested items.
Please note that you absolutely need GTK/GLIB 1.2.8 or higher
for this release.
if you want apsfilters so called "CLASS support" when suppressing the
printing of banner page.
CLASS support enables you to enter gs driver specific commands
on the command line via lpr's -C option, i.e.:
lpr -C high:presentation file.ps
Normally this only works when you configure lpd to print the banner page.
Only then additional lines are inserted in the print jobs control file.
apsfilters standard printcap installation always uses :sh:,
therefore you need the patch for lpr.c, to write those "CLASS informations"
into the print jobs control file, no matter if :sh: is configured in
printcap or not.
- contains security fixes
- make-release: web page design
- remove note about manually installing manpages on Linux Systems
this is done by SETUP
- new TODO item
- SETUP: order of manpage install paths (Matej Vela)

nicer print.

- Use CATEGORIES+= to follow after a slave's lang-specific category.
{chinese,japanese,korean}/acroread-*font:
- Set only the lang-specific category for each.
Anomalies found:
- autoconvert was missing "zh-" in front of PKGNAME
- xcin (both 2.3 and 2.5) had invalid version strings
- neither of xcin ports had NO_LATEST_LINK
- telnet8-1.0 thinks PKGNAME is zh-telnet-1.0
Fixed all except the last (I wasn't sure if it was intentional).
PORTNAME/PORTVERSION change, cpiazza must have accidentally hit a
"~" in his vi or something. :>
I have a hunch that the "?=" in PORTNAME and PORTVERSION can be
changed to "=" too but I'll leave those for now.

Fixes BUG in apsfilter 5.3.0
SETUP: you entered a "printer selection loop" when selecting uniprint
printer
Includes the previous patch for CLASS support and such ...
New features in 5.3.0
=====================
- Major enhancements in SETUP, therefore version bump
- checks your version of ghostscript
- is aware of gs version 5.50 and 6.01 printer drivers
- new driver selection mechanism
- fetches list of available printer driver from file
- you can browse/search this list using more
- you select printer driver by number
- sanity check, if the printer driver is present in your gs binary
- at the end of your selection you get a list of printers
as confirmation, that are supported by your driver selection
- you can repeat this step as often as you like until you
choose a valid printer driver
- After printer driver selection you can as usual print test pages
if you like or repeat the step of selection another driver in this
more user friendly manner.

SETUP will be modified later...
- devices-5.50 - list of driver options
- devices-6.01 - list of driver options
- printer-5.50 - list of supported printers

New apsfilter features:
* Security: config files are read using awk, not sourced during runtime
* Complete Windows Remote Printer Support (as Guest user or using real login)
* Complete Unix remote printer support
* Support for different print resolutions (by starting SETUP repeatedly)
and choosing different print resolutions
* A2PS options revamped
* lots of more things... See my homepage, ANNOUNCE file ...
* print margin problem of a2ps fixed
FAQ section gives you a real life example, of how to configure
page margins in /usr/local/etc/a2ps.cfg for an EPSON STYLUS PRO.
With this example you can fine tune the margins for your printer in
about 10-15 minutes from scratch...
- SETUP: added support for configuring remote printer
Beware: you still have to make sure, that your line printer scheduler supports
input filter processing with remote printers as it is the case for FreeBSD 3.x
and later with a "fixed" lpd, as well as for Unix systems with LPRng installed
as lineprinter scheduler, which is the case for some (not all !!!) Linux
Systems.
- Add support for printing with SAMBA (SAMBA_PRINTER)
- Bugfix. Some printer dependend settings will be overwritten, when installing
a 2nd printer, which might cause printing with the 1st printer to fail,
especially if the first printer is color and 2nd B&W or vice versa.
Revamped SETUP and bin/apsfilter to get around this.
- Added SETUP menue entries for the uniprint driver
