Summary: [PATCH] [grohtml] migrate from psselect to ps2ps Group: GNU roff Submitter: gbranden Submitted: Sat 13 Jul 2024 06:59:04 PM UTC Category: Driver grohtml Severity: 1 - Wish Item Group: Feature change Status: In Progress Privacy: Public Assigned to: gbranden Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat 13 Jul 2024 06:59:04 PM UTC By: G. Branden Robinson <gbranden> Background: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2023-11/msg00036.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2024-04/msg00021.html The problems I observed and which motivated me to revert this patch were likely not ps2ps's fault. _grohtml_ just kinda sucks. See bug #65961. Also, Morten Bo Johansen just brought to my attention that that PSUtils has been rewritten from some language producing ELF to Python, and it promply shat itself all over our builds with hyperventilation about the paper size. If there's one think Python programmers hate doing, it's giving any thought to exception handling. See bug #65985. Rather than chase down that nonsense, I think it's better to narrow our external dependencies and re-instate this change. _______________________________________________________ File Attachments: ------------------------------------------------------- Name: alexis.diff Size: 4KiB <https://file.savannah.gnu.org/file/alexis.diff?file_id=56270> AGPL NOTICE These attachments are served by Savane.
