a2ps 4.15.5 released [stable]

Item posted by Reuben Thomas <rrt> on Thu 22 Jun 2023 08:58:59 PM UTC.


This release is a minor bugfix release: it fixes the psnup delegation (for
PSUtils), which has been broken since version 4.14.90.

Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature:

  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/a2ps/a2ps-4.15.5.tar.gz.sig

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

74eccbae50ad86d0d5ca2c1dc70304f6defd444c  a2ps-4.15.5.tar.gz
gbsbQQTnwmOXYkUe3JeG2vPf6ziErfx9xqydII8w2n8  a2ps-4.15.5.tar.gz

The SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the
hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to.

Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify a2ps-4.15.5.tar.gz.sig

The signature should match the fingerprint of the following key:

  pub   rsa2048 2013-12-11 [SC]
        2409 3F01 6FFE 8602 EF44  9BB8 4C8E F3DA 3FD3 7230
  uid   Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
  uid   keybase.io/rrt <rrt@keybase.io>

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
or that public key has expired, try the following commands to retrieve
or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

  gpg --locate-external-key rrt@sc3d.org

  gpg --recv-keys 4C8EF3DA3FD37230

  wget -q -O- 'https://savannah.gnu.org/project/release-gpgkeys.php?group=a2ps&download=1' | gpg --import -

As a last resort to find the key, you can try the official GNU
keyring:

  wget -q https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg
  gpg --keyring gnu-keyring.gpg --verify a2ps-4.15.5.tar.gz.sig


This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.71
  Automake 1.16.5
  Gnulib v0.1-6178-gdfdf33a466
