[jemarch]

Hi.


Well, i think we are up to date with Debian gv. The following document
is a resume of what i have done while patching gv with Debian patches.

Please note all references to "mainstream gv" refer to the development
version of gv, that is, CVS gv.


* 00000b_dead_upstream.diff

Not appropiate for mainstream gv: it is alive now and have updated old
references.

* 00000c_debian_config.diff

** Change the scratch dir default resource from ~/ to /tmp/

Already on mainstream gv.

** Change application directories to fit Debian guidelines

On mainstream gv GV_BINDIR, GV_DOCDIR, GV_LIBDIR and GV_MANDIR depends
on compile-time parameters using autoconf.

** Use `pdf2dsc' and `pdf2ps' scripts

This Debian path changes the `GV.gsCmdScanPDF' and `GV.gsCmdConvPDF'
resources from:

@echo "GV.gsCmdScanPDF: gs -dNODISPLAY -dQUIET -sPDFname=%s -sDSCname=%s 
pdf2dsc.ps -c quit" >> $(GV_INTERN_RES_DAT)
@echo "GV.gsCmdConvPDF: gs -dNODISPLAY -dQUIET $(PS_LEVEL) -dNOPAUSE
-sPSFile=%s %s -c quit" >> $(GV_INTERN_RES_DAT)

 to:

@echo "GV.gsCmdScanPDF: pdf2dsc %pdf %dsc" >> $(GV_INTERN_RES_DAT)
@echo "GV.gsCmdConvPDF: pdf2ps $(PS_LEVEL) %pdf %ps" >>
$(GV_INTERN_RES_DAT)

We still prefer to use the `gs' command line directly for mainstream
gv instead of falling on the `pdf2dsc' and `pdf2ps' commands.
