Thank you for working on this.
It's not clear to me how people that currently have the old
print/ghostscript should switch to the new version.
'portmaster -o print/ghostscript9-x11 ghostscript9-9.06_10' (in my case)
or even just 'portmaster ghostscript9-9.06_10' turns into an endless
loop:
===>>> print/ghostscript9-x11 >> print/ghostscript9-x11 >> ghostscript9-9.06_10 (2/2)
===>>> The print/ghostscript9 port moved to print/ghostscript9-x11
===>>> Reason: Split into print/ghostscript9-base and print/ghostscript9-x11
That will continue to recurse, adding one more print/ghostscript9-x11
each time. UPDATING should show the correct method. Maybe just
'pkg delete -f ghostscript9-9.06_10' and then install
print/ghostscript9-x11?
