Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-06 Severity: wishlist * Package name : ijs-dev Version : 0.33 Upstream Author : Raph Levien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.linuxprinting.org/ijs * License : MIT Description : IJS raster image transport protocol
IJS is, first and foremost, a protocol for transmission of raster page images. This snapshot provides a reference implementation of the protocol, the design of which is still in flux. When the protocol specification is published, it will be authoritative. Applications should feel free to link against the library provided in this package, adapt that code for their own needs, or roll a completely new implementation. IJS is a client-server protocol, used to write ghostscript drivers. The drivers are separate programs. The client and server communicate via pipes, though shared memory may be used additionally in the future. Currently IJS is used by the hpijs driver and gimp-print. Once this is packaged, the ijsgimpprint driver can also be packaged (part of the gimp-print source package). Code for both the client- and server-side is included in the library. Currently, only a static version of the library is packaged, due to the API/ABI not being stable yet. An initial package and Debianised source is available from http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~rl117/ijs/ Note that the upstream source is not actually upstream, as I needed to add automake and libtool support to it. Hopefully upstream will apply these patches. Regards, Roger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
