Description of problem: a2ping crashes trying to reformat a eps document into pdf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gs 9.02 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download "perfbook" from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/perfbook.git 2. Type make. This will invoke the script utilities/eps2pdf.sh which calls a2ping -v --below --hires --bboxfrom=compute-gs "$basename.eps" "$basename.pdf" 3. Make fails with the file "future/be-lw-n4-rf-all.eps" (for example). Calling "a2ping future/be-lw-n4-rf-all.eps output.pdf" directly will also crash Actual results: "a2ping future/be-lw-n4-rf-all.eps output.pdf" fails with error "not a GS output from gs -dSAFER" Expected results: Nicely formatted pdf file output.pdf. Additional info: The immediate error code is due to the option "SAFER" that works differently in gs 9.02, being safer than before. If you delete the option "SAFER" from the command line passed to gs to do the conversion (by commenting out lines 747 and 748, then it seems to work ok. At least in the case above.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
