Plain upstream Ghostscript

Edit Package ghostscript

The "ghostscript" package might be incompatible
with the official openSUSE "ghostscript-library"
package.

See "Package clean-up and upgrade to latest
stable release" at

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735824

You need the packages ghostscript and
ghostscript-x11 which replace the official
packages ghostscript-library and
ghostscript-x11 (provided you have already
the package ghostscript-x11 installed).

Do not remove installed ghostscript-fonts-*
packages.

To replace the official packages, you must
install ghostscript and ghostscript-x11
in one run, e.g.:

# rpm -Uhv ghostscript-*.rpm ghostscript-x11-*.rpm

To go back to the official packages, you must
first remove the ghostscript and ghostscript-x11
package and ignore RPM package dependencies, e.g.:

# rpm -e --nodeps ghostscript ghostscript-x11

Then you can re-install the official packages,
e.g.:

# rpm -Uhv ghostscript-library-*.rpm ghostscript-x11-*.rpm

Be careful that you specify during installation
the exact right ghostscript-x11-*.rpm package
(with exact matching version-release) - otherwise
you get RPM conflicts.

- update to 10.02.1:
  * Patch release to address some security bugs
  * This release (10.02.0) marks the final demise of the
    PostScript based PDF interpreter.
  * This 10.01.1 release removes the "-dNEWPDF=false" command
    line option to fall back to the deprecated, old PDF
    interpreter.
  * This 10.01.0 release removes the "-dNEWPDF=false" command
    line option to fall back to the deprecated, old PDF
    interpreter.
  * This release officially deprecates the old Postscript
    implementation of PDF, we will not be updating or maintaining
    that code moving forward. The option to use the old PDF
    implementation _**will**_ be removed in the next full release
    (10.01.0)
  * Important: This release includes the new PDF interpreter
    (implemented in C rather than PostScript). It is both
    integrated into Ghostscript (now ENABLED by default), and
    available as a standalone, PDF only, binary. See
    https://ghostscript.com/pdfi.html for more details.
  * This also bundles the latest zlib (1.2.12) which addresses a
    security issue (CVE-2018-25032)
  * **Important**: This release includes the new PDF interpreter
    (implemented in C rather than PostScript). It is both
    integrated into Ghostscript (now **ENABLED** by default), and
    available as a standalone, PDF only, binary. See

There is a regression on ghostscript 9.27 fixed upstream, but there isn't a new point release yet. It affects klatexformula and some other apps that depends on ghostscript.

Please, apply the patch on: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=06c920713e11
