[CentOS] ghostscript-8.70-14.el5_8.1.x86_64 & hylafax+ 5.5.3
I am having some problems with hylafax+ on CentOS 5.9 converting files into appropriate tiff files that are faxable; the problem is apparently fixed in ghostscript 9.07. The CentOS repositories currently have ghostscript-8.70-14.el5_8.1.x86_64 I surely appreciate the maintainers of the repositories; can any of you direct me to whom maintains ghostscript on the repository or when 9.07 is planned to be included. I would also like to request that ghostpcl be included, but I am not certain who or how to ask. Thanks for your assistance. Greg Ennis

We may (or may not) see ghostscript 9.x in Centos 7 when it is released but I would be somewhat surprised to see it in Centos 6 and below. If you really need the latest version you may be able to compile it yourself. I do that with some of the software that I use on my Centos systems. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com
