From: John Seifarth <john@waw.be> Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 17:36:57 +0100 Subject: PPR: ppr-gs What are the advantages/tradeoffs? The README.txt file in the ppr-gs-0.9 directory contains a rather ominous warning: "Understand that the resulting Ghostscript will have tempfile security problems" Could you elaborate slightly? Could you please summarize what's going on with Gostscript / PPR integration? PPR has worked fine for me for years using the built-in gs executable in my Slackware distributions. Why might I want to use ppr-gs? Will it become more important in the future? I noticed a highlight in the 1.50a1 release announcement is "improved Ghostscript integration". Does that require ppr-gs? And what are the risks if I use the ppr-gs. I have systems with no potential local hostile users. Can I safely use ppr-gs on them? I've posted this on the Sourceforge PPR forum, under the ppr-gs release announcement, to make sure it gets a wide PPR audience. - -- __________________________________________________________________ John Seifarth http://www.waw.be/waw/ Words & Wires SPRL john@waw.be Computer Consulting & Language Services Voice: (+) 32-2-660-3943 1160 Brussels, Belgium Fax: (+) 32-2-675-3922
