- Split ghostscript into X11-independent and -dependent parts:
* print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl}-base Installs Ghostscript binary, libgs, and related files. These ports do not depend on X11 libraries (i.e. x11* devices are not available). USES=ghostscript will set dependency on one of them depending on GHOSTSCRIPT_DEFAULT. The default device is set to "display" or "bbox". * print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl}-x11 Installs a shared library which provides X11 support to the installed Ghostscript binaries. x11* devices will be enabled when the library is available. This depends on *-base (RUN_DEPENDS). USES=ghostscript:x11 will set dependency on one of them. - Fix integer overflow reported as CVE-2015-3228. - Update Uses/ghostscript.mk: * Add x11 keyword. nox11 keyword is now obsolete. * Use packagename in *_DEPENDS line to prevent relationship between -base and -x11 packages from being broken. - Fix x11/nox11 keyword and bump PORTREVISION in ports using USES=ghostscript to update dependency of pre-compiled packages.

+
+ print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl} have been split into
+ print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl}-{base,x11}.
+ print/ghostscript*-nox11 ports have been removed.
+
+ The -base installs Ghostscript binaries, libgs, and other data files
+ and it depends on no X11 library. The -x11 installs a small shared
+ library to enable x11* devices in the installed -base package.
+
+ In most cases, Ghostscript is installed as a dependency. A port/package
+ which requires Ghostscript will automatically pick up -base, and
+ when x11* devices required it will pick up -x11 in addition.
+
+ If one wants to install Ghostscript manually and full compatibility
+ with the previous versions, just install -x11 because it installs
+ -base as a dependency. Combination of the two provides the same
+ functionality as before.
