Harold,
Actually this was discussed on Cygwin apps and the maintainers came
to the conclusion that, when a package has both XFree and non-XFree
components, you should:
A)Discuss the non-XFree components on cygwin@cygwin.com
B)Discuss the XFree components on cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
C)Only need to seek approval once from the cygwin-apps@cygwin.com
list.
This was done to insure that the volume be kept to a minimum on an
already heavily used list (cygwin@cygwin.com). So it is fair game to
discuss the ghostscript-x11 package on this list. And I do believe
Dario did make a test annoucment on here a few weeks back. Here is
the hint, in case you forgot:
@ ghostscript-x11
sdesc: "A Postscript interpreter (GNU version, X11)"
ldesc: "GNU Ghostscript is Postscript interpreter capable of
converting PS
files into a number of printer output formats. Ghostscript can also
render PS files into a number of graphics file formats. This package
contains the X11 build for Cygwin/XFree86."
category: Graphics
^^^^^[You're right that it should have XFree86]
requires: cygwin XFree86-base libpng12 zlib ghostscript-base
external-source: ghostscript
test: 7.05-1
This does not, however, excuse the quadrupal posting on the sender's
part.
Cheers,
Nicholas
