Currently I work on the Ghostscript 9.10 Release Candidate 1. But I think we cannot do the "big jump" (see comment#15) for 13.1 because there is at least one more regression when upgrading CUPS:
The YaST printer module. In particular its "printing via network" and "share printers" stuff only works up to CUPS 1.5 because it needs CUPS Browsing. I have to do major work for the YaST printer module to let it use the cups-browsed from cups-filters for CUPS >= 1.6. Furthermore there is Dominique Leuenberger's response regarding "Cups >= 1.6" on opensuse-fact...@opensuse.org http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2013-08/msg00408.html that reads (excerpt): -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... incompatibility is now what we want at this stage; I already looked at the issue from 'the other' side and it was rather trivial to make it build with cups 1.5 without loosing functionality (the cups 1.6 getter/setter functions were used; so I just added macros to fall back to the old style direct access). So, let's stay with 1.5 an let's see to get upgraded for 13.2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think "incompatibility is now what we want at this stage" is a typo that should be "incompatibility is not what we want at this stage" because otherwise "let's stay with 1.5" would not make sense.
