Branch: CURRENT, Version: 9.06nb56, Package name: ghostscript-gpl-9.06nb56, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Ghostscript is the well-known PostScript interpreter which is available for
all common and most esoteric platforms and supports many different printers
and some displays.

This package contains Ghostscript 9.06, the last Ghostscript release
under GPL3 (August, 2012). Newer releases are under AGPL3 (see
ghostscript-agpl); this package exists for those that prefer a very
old unmaintained GPL3 version to the AGPL3 version maintained by
upstream. The most recent security patch in this package was
backported in 2017.

Log message:
ghostscript-gpl: gc unused PLIST variable

PLIST.cidfmap was set, but not declared, and does not appear in PLIST.
Probably not coincidentally, reduces diff to ghostscript-agpl.

Log message:
ghostscript-gpl: Clarify support status

Adjust language as we approach 11 years since the last upstream
release; it's now "very old" rather than "old" and it is also
unmaintained.  Note that the last security patch happened in 2017.

Drop sentence that the cups option provides cups support and is off by
default.  That's not unusual and that's what "make show-options" is
for.
