Description Trever Adams 2011-06-03 06:35:53 UTC
I have requested this before, but it was turned down. I ask again. Is it possible to get GhostPCL (at least) and the others (XPS, PDF, etc.) packaged in fedora? It would be a huge help to me.

Thank you.

Last time I tried this it had several bundled versions of system libraries (which are not permitted in Fedora), and I couldn't get it to build when trying to get it to use the system libraries.

The situation may have improved by now, but I'm unlikely to have the time to look at it myself in the near future.  Perhaps you could have a go at packaging it?

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2018-09-06 15:21:20 UTC
In case the GhostPDL is needed by someone in Fedora, they would have to package it and get into Fedora by themselves. This cannot be part of the Ghostscript package, and I don't have capacity to maintain another package.
