Apsfilter is a magic printfilter, that allows you to print different
document types "automagically" without having to convert them manually
into something which is understood by your lineprinter. Apsfilter
development started in 1993, so apsfilter is now a mature and powerful
printing solution for any flavour of Unix running lpd or LPRng as line
printer scheduler. It supports the latest ghostscript version and 3rd
party printer driver like hpijs, ijs, hpdj, pcl3 and gimp-print, to
mention some.

multimedia ... sysutils: Remove redundant dependency on unzip
A dependency on unzip will never be registered since unzip is available
on all supported platforms (since FreeBSD 8.0).
Note that it's pulled in by a non-default option.
Approved by: infrastructure blanket (removal of redundant deps)
Make print/ghostscript9-agpl-base the default Ghostscript port. Upstream
changed the license to the AGPL 3 in version 9.07 so print/ghostscript9-base
is stuck at 9.06 which is almost 4 years old now.
Fix the logic in Uses/ghostscript.mk so "agpl" is treated as a real version
on its own instead of as a variant of other versions.
Fix print/ghostscript9-agpl-base to install eps2write.
Update math/asymptote to 2.37 to support newer Ghostscript.

- Split ghostscript into X11-independent and -dependent parts:
* print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl}-base
Installs Ghostscript binary, libgs, and related files.
These ports do not depend on X11 libraries (i.e. x11* devices
are not available). USES=ghostscript will set dependency on
one of them depending on GHOSTSCRIPT_DEFAULT.
The default device is set to "display" or "bbox".
* print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl}-x11
Installs a shared library which provides X11 support to
the installed Ghostscript binaries. x11* devices will be
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Fix index after ghostscript USES addition.
Allow USES=ghostscript to select which port we need.
Manualy set WITHOUT_X11 in the !X11 case since USES=ghostscript
doesn't check PORT_OPTIONS for set/unset of the X11 option.
Merge print/psutils-a4 and print/psutils-letter into a single port
print/psutils. The default paper size in the programs can be set via
libpaper ($PAPERSIZE or etc/papersize configuration file).
Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Update to new version 7.2.8
New features: can play audio files.
lpd then acts like a jukebox.
Remote Audio printing/playing is at experimental stage (untested).
Theoretically it should be possible that multiple print clients
feed the central print server with sound card with audio files.

update to new apsfilter version 7.2.4
this is mainly a BUGFIX Release
NEW FEATURES
- some ijs driver scripts got more differentiation
concerning options for print quality.
DOCUMENTATION
- wrong manual reference in apsfilter manpage, changed from
smbprint(1) to smbclient(1)
- apsfilter handbook got a path fix and cosmetic changes
- support for ijs 1.1 and later (prior 1.0 and later)
BUG FIXES
- driver/stp/escp2-440
- set traditional umask in SETUP (022) just for the case
somebodies root account has strange default settings not
to end up with screwed permissions, that make printing
impossible.
- update driver MAPPINGS
CODE IMPROVEMENTS
- partly cosmetic, get rid of GS_MODEL
- modified gs_cmnd
- set umask 022 in SETUP, so that it works under root environment
with too restricive umask settings like '026'.
- bumped port revision, since this unbreaks installation under
non-default root environments
Submitted by: [email protected]
- added needed run dependency
added dependency to print/hpijs, since the ijs driver isn't automatically
installed anymore when installing ghostscript
- therefore bumped portrevision
I recommend you to upgrade to this new version
* update to apsfilter 7.2.3
* contains two major bugfixes
a) printing using newest HP IJS driver is fixed (PR 37085)
the fix has been taken from other source but PR should be resolved
b) printing to a remote windows printer via samba is fixed
there was a nasty typo in the apsfilter script ($SMP_IP -> $SMB_IP)
* other changes
- new gimp-print driver / ijsgimpprint
- add new pretty command to set text-to-PostScript highlight level
- fix "remote copies" parameter to lpr
- clean up template apsfilterrc
* FreeBSD/port related things:
- could close all problems report
- PR 34153: fixed configure script: a permanent runtime dependency
to bzip2 is inappropriate on FreeBSD systems that have bzip2 in
the base system.

stp/pcl-4
Update apsfilter port to 7.2.1 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).
Update port dependency, if defined APSFILTER_ALL 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.
unbreak port for -current Since the `.' seperator has been deprecated for a
while now, the chown command fails - at least under -current. Changed his
patch to patch actually SETUP.in and not the resulting file SETUP after
running configure.
update to apsfilter 7.1.0 - new design: use GNU configure alike script
(without the bloat) for creating different files (scripts, manpages,
handbook, Makefile). now paths are 100% matching. - create portable
Makefile across various platforms - manpage update, supported file types,
commandline options (lpr -C/-Z), docu fixes - some fixes in driver
(hl1250, bjc600/800)
"You want to make it reference ${LOCALBASE}/bin/bash. Remember, ports assume
dependencies are installed in ${LOCALBASE} or ${X11BASE}." That says it all.
Unluckily FreeBSD's shell isn't able to read from/write to /dev/stdin and
stdout. Therefore we have to use bash as shell for /usr/local/bin/aps2file
program. Arrange things with patch and pre-configure command, so that this
port stays prefix-clean. The patch inserts !!PREFIX!!/bin/bash and configure
configures in the current PREFIX settings. I'd whish somebody could fix our
shell to remove the dependency from bash.
New apsfilter version 7.0.1 - patch-SETUP is included in 7.0.1 (we don't
provide insane defaults anymore) - support for HPIJS V 1.0 ("IJS" driver) -
still supporting old HPIJS driver ("HPIJS" driver) - some more sanity checks
in SETUP (check is print device is character special) - added bjc800 driver
script, since it differs to bjc600 printer - format of MAPFILE documented -
handbook has been updated - compatible to 7.0.0 version, so old entries and
spooldirs should work after upgrade has been made
update apsfilter to new version 7.0, here a short summary, see ANNOUNCE and
ChangeLog for a complete list: - supports fully ghostscript7 - enhanced
driver support, hpijs, pips, latest gimp-print, etc ... - per driver scripts,
where printer manufacturer *could* place their driver/scripts, the case
structure wasn't scaleable anymore an led to incomplete support or to large
apsfilter script - unified command-line options, see handbook - support for
HARDWARE_COPIES if your printer can print multiple copies himself - option
settings can be restricted by the administrator for all printer or print
queues (maybe to save print costs on color printers ...) - support for many
new filetypes - print contens of archives: tar, cpio, ar, zip, zoo ... -
security: update for duplex print keys - separate faq has gone, everything is
in the handbook - error messages can be sent to user now via Cc: - no bugs
so far ;-)
- Add patch, update to FAQ and handbook and some driver updates for SETUP -
place apsfilter distfiles into subdir apsfilter, since name of patchfile
doesn't contain string apsfilter. On my TODO list for future. - update prio
for apsfilter user: low (hint: try/test apsfilter-current from
http://www.apsfilter.org if you are looking for more printer support and
other goodies)
update from apsfilter 6.1.0 to 6.1.1 - a duplex printing password fix turned
out incompatibility of BSD od(1) to other flavours of od(1). - apsfilter
6.1.1 contains the duplex password fix + a substitution of od(1) with
hexdump which also seems to be available on Linux and Solaris. - no
PORTREVISION dump since we have a new release - added pkg-message file for
easier handling and addition of notification to apsfilter *package* had
to change configure script and Makefile to follow that new infrastructure.
- troff notification in dependency to FreeBSD version
