[cups.general] espgs-8.15.4 rpmbuild fails

[Till Kamppeter]

The ESP Ghostscript development is discontinued and all extra 
functionality is merged int GPL Ghostscript, the main (upstream) 
Ghostscript development:

http://www.cups.org/espgs/index.php

Please check whether the problem persists with the test branch of the 
merged Ghostscript by following the instructions to install from source 
here:

http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/esp-gpl-ghostscript-merge/README

You will perhaps need to install the "svn" or "subversion" package of 
your distribution to be able to download this version of Ghostscript.

If the problem persists, report a bug on

http://bugs.ghostscript.com/

For discussions and questions about Ghostscript please post on the 
mailing lists of

http://www.ghostscript.com/
