Ghostscript repository migration (cvs->svn)

All,

As approved at the last Artifex staff meeting, we are migrating the 
Ghostscript source repository from CVS to Subversion.

I've done a test migration of the CVS tree as it was last night.
Please try this out to make sure this is working including doing
test commits. I'll replace this with a fresh conversion next weekend,
at which point we will switch officially.

Anonymous read access is available at the following urls:

  http://svn.ghostscript.com:8080/ghostscript/trunk/gs/
  http://cvs.ghostscript.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ghostscript/

Those with current write access should also be able to commit to 
checkouts from this url:

  svn+ssh://svn.ghostscript.com/svn/ghostscript/trunk/gs/

Subversion is a new version control system built on the same work
model as CVS, but designed to avoid some of CVSs limitations. The
commandline tool is called 'svn' and available from 
http://subversion.tigris.org, and is packaged for all reasonably
recent linux distributions.

Plugins for Windows Explorer (TortoiseSVN), Visual Studio (anksvn),
MacOS X Finder (scplugin), etc. are available (Apple's XCode ships
with Subversion support).

Easy to fix bugs that need some discussion.

Colleagues,

There are a few bugs I'd like bring to the support meeting.
The cause of all these problems is well-known but the resolution
of the problems needs some decision that I cannot make
on my own.

Regards,
Alex Cherepanov

687475 font glyphs overlap
Ghostscript makes poor font substitution. We can make a better font
substitution if we associate font names with character widths and
basic font attributes: weight, italic, serif/sanserif, etc. The new
font substitution code will take 1..2 days to write.

687643 gs crashes on HP-UX 11.23 for Itanium
This is an old issue that has been discussed several times already
on the merits of known patches.
At 2004-12-09 18:00 Ralph posted a comment #9 that Raph has a fix
but the fix itself has never been posted. Perhaps, this is what SCOX
call a non-public contribution. How can we discover the patch?

687682 Old failures in Genoa tests
This bug is closed but not all issues identified by the test have been
resolved. The following test failures seems to be errors in Ghostscript.
068-01 : low precision of the current point
078-01 : The test wants initial strokeadjust to be false
094-01 : The test expects that <</DefineResource {exch pop}>>
          is a working definition. Surprisingly, it works on Distiller.

Oops. I had too restrictive a group set for write permissions. 
Should be fixed. Can you give it a try now?

Thanks for testing,

All clearly broken test cases are already fixed and committed.
In my opinion, remaining errors are bugs in Ghostscript.
We may choose to not to fix them or open separate bug reports
for every error but let's discus what to do first.

Ghostscript source code moved to SVN

Everyone,

I've now completed the official migration of the Ghostscript source code
from CVS to the Subversion version control tool. The url for the new
tree is:

  http://svn.ghostscript.com:8080/ghostscript/trunk/gs

If you currently have write access over ssh, you can use the following url
instead, which allows commits:

  svn+ssh://svn.ghostscirpt.com/svn/ghostscript/trunk/gs

As always, please let me know if you have any problems. More information
about subversion and links to various client applications are available
from http://subversion.tigris.org. A complete manual for the commandline
tools is available from http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.

We will leave the old cvs repository online for a while so people can refer
to it, but all new work will happen under subversion.

I've changed all the tag names since svn isn't bound by CVS's naming 
limitations, so the CVS tag gs8_53 is now /tags/ghostscript-8.53 and
so on. I've removed all the branches, since I'm not aware that any
of them are active; if anyone needs anything let me know, it's easy
to resurrect them. Best practice is to remove any branch not under
active use.

Thanks to everyone for their patience.

Everything works fine except that commit command doesn't post
a message to IRC as cvs did.

Alex

Yup, I saw your commit. Thanks again for your help testing.

The IRC notification is supposed to be hooked up; I'm travelling
tomorrow but will look at it when I get back.

Cheers,
