Sender: owner-ports@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi ! I've just downloaded a port of my apsfilter program to ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming. I had 2 unsuccessfull upload sessions, so dont wonder, why these is so much different stuff lying there around with the name apsfilter.... The two files, that are ok are: apsfilter-4.9.2-port.tgz <- this is the small Port archive that should be extracted in /usr/ports/print apsfilter-4.9.2.tar.gz.hope_this_gets_uploaded ^^^^--- this package should be placed somewhere on wcarchive, since this is a FreeBSD special version, that is currently on no other ftp site available. Please rename it to apsfilter-4.9.2.tar.gz ;-) Yestarday evening Internet was so busy, that the upload f***** up when having uploaded about 50% After choosing a place for the "sources" you have only to edit the Makefile in the ports files, to change the Master ftp site. The installation method is interactive. make -> creates work/apsfilter directory in /usr/ports/print/apsfilter-4.9.2 make install -> calls the install section in work/apsfilter/Makefile. It copies the files to /usr/local/apsfilter It calls the interactive SETUP program from there After that you have made a fine PS printer out of your HP DeskJet 500 (for example) ;-)) For what I had no time ... Package dependencies. To use all the features of file type conversion, you should install the following packages before installing apsfilter: a) ghostscript (2.6 and the never 3.66 (?) are fine b) netpbm c) transfig d) jpeg -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix - aklemm@wup.de - \/ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz apsfilter - magic print filter 4lpd >>> knobel is powered by FreeBSD <<<
