Hi,
print/poster stopped, for all I can tell, to work when upgraded to
20060221. The appended patch (by Ingvar Hagelund via Redhat bugzilla)
reverts one of the changes from 20050917.
See <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436969>
print/poster is a leaf package.
May I commit?
-is
Background: poster used to create N copies of the input page, transformed
to a new position for poster printing.
20060221 introduced (among other changes) compression by defining a
procedure which contains the input file, then calling that procedure
for the individual pages.
Defining that procedure seems to fail at least for nontrivial input files
because some limit is exceeded, for ghostscript as well as for all native
postscript printers I have at work.
Here's the patch:
