install pstopxl, pxlcolor.ppd and pxlmono.ppd.
Also: don't try to @dirrm share/ghostscript - it belongs to
ghostscript-fonts.

CHANGES IN 7.07.1
- The ps2epsi script did not quote ~'s in the sed
command (STR #261)
- ESP Ghostscript now substitutes the space character
for missing glyphs in fonts. This is controlled using
the espgsMissingChar definition in gs_init.ps (STR
#275)
CHANGES IN 7.07.1rc2
- The configure script did not check for a compatible
version of GIMP-print for the STP driver (STR #232)
- The CUPS driver incorrectly reallocated the page
memory, which could cause Ghostscript to crash (STR
#246)
- Fixed pointers treated as integers in src/gomni.c
(Thanks to Werner Fink from SuSE)
- Fixed potential 64-bit portability problem with malloc
(Thanks to Werner Fink from SuSE)
- Fixed X11 anti-aliasing problem (Thanks to Werner Fink
from SuSE)
- Security fix on ps2epsi (Thanks to Werner Fink from
SuSE)
- Update on Canon BJC drivers (Thanks to Werner Fink
from SuSE)
- CUPS Makefile fix (Thanks to Werner Fink from SuSE)
- Command line option "-c" fixed (STR #225 and #230,

- The PNG device now correctly detects the version of
the PNG library in use (Thanks to Werner Fink from
SuSE)
- ESP Ghostscript should now cleanup all temporary files
(Thanks to Werner Fink from SuSE)
- The configure script did not substitute the OBJEXT and
EXEEXT variables in the IJS makefile (STR #218)
CHANGES IN 7.07.1rc1
- Updated to GNU Ghostscript 7.07.
- Added preliminary support for a CUPS-based PCL XL/PCL
6 driver and sample PPD files.
- The CUPS pstoraster script put a space between the
"-c" option and the color profile code, causing an
initialization error.
- The CUPS driver generated a lookup table that would
omit certain values due to rounding errors in the
Ghostscript graphics library (STR #136)
- The psmono and psgray drivers produced shrinked output
(STR #6)
- The SPARCprinter driver did not compile (STR #24)
- Type-3 masked images did not render properly (STR #79)
- Fixed pstoraster failures (STR #5 and #166)
- Fixed bug in Samsung SmartGDI driver which prevented
some files from being printed. Thanks to Grant Taylor
from linuxprinting.org for the fix.
- Made src/gdevgdi.c compilable in "-traditional" mode
of gcc (patch from Antony Uspensky).
- Updated the "lxm3200" driver (gdevlx32.c) to the
newest version, it features an option to adjust the
margins of the Lexmark Z31 and uni-directional
printing on the Z12 now.
- Fix datadir on systems that don't provide a default
prefix (MacOS X). SF Bug #695705.

- Use autoconf.mk to regenerate configure script instead of adding a
huge patch to the patches directory.
- The CUPS driver now properly generates CIE colorspaces.
- The pstoraster wrapper didn't correctly pass the cupsProfile attribute
into Ghostscript; this resulted in user-defined profiles being ignored
when printing PS files.
- The CUPS driver now properly rotates the page when given a landscape
PageSize.
- Replaced the "lxm3200" driver (gdevlx32.c) by a modified version which
supports also the Z31 and the Z12
- Updated japanese driver pack "gdevlips" from version 2.3.4 to 2.4.0. The
pack contains the devices "lips2p" "bjc880j". "lips4", "lips4v",
"escpage", "lp2000". "npdl", and "rpdl". "rpdl" is newly added (for
Ricoh's RPDL printers).
- Added "#define USE_POSSIBLY_FLAWED_COMPRESSION 1" to src/gdevhl7x.c
(driver "hl7x0"). This fixes the problem that the printer stops in the
middle of the page.

Ghostscript is the well-known PostScript interpreter which is available for
all common and most esoteric platforms and supports many different printers
and some displays.
This package contains ESP Ghostscript, which is a separately maintained
distribution of GNU Ghostscript and distributed under the terms of the GNU
Public License. ESP Ghostscript incorporates the CUPS raster printer
driver, and a large number of contributed Ghostscript printer drivers.
