Bug#479400: RFA: ijs -- IJS raster image transport protocol: shared library
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the ijs package. I no longer have the time
to maintain it.
Upstream is not active (the IJS protocol draft spec this library
implements has not changed since). It's used by ghostscript (internal
copy of libijs), and by gutenprint (linking with shared library).
Thanks,
Roger
The package description is:
IJS is, first and foremost, a protocol for transmission of raster
page images. This snapshot provides a reference implementation of
the protocol, the design of which is still in flux. When the protocol
specification is published, it will be authoritative. Applications
should feel free to link against the library provided in this
package, adapt that code for their own needs, or roll a completely
new implementation.
.
IJS is a client-server protocol, used to write ghostscript drivers.
The drivers are separate programs. The client and server communicate
via pipes, though shared memory may be used additionally in the
future. Currently IJS is used by the hpijs and ijsgimpprint drivers.
.
Code for both the client- and server-side is included in the library.
This package provides the shared library.
