Package: gmt-doc
Version: 4.1.2-1.1
Severity: wishlist
The documentation has a number references to ghostview, like:
$ lynx -dump /usr/share/doc/gmt/html/tutorial/node9.html
...
8. To view a PostScript file (e. g., map.ps) on a UNIX workstation
we use ghostview map.ps. On some systems there will be similar
commands, like imagetool and pageview on Sun workstations. In
this text we will refer to ghostview; please substitute the
relevant PostScript previewer on your system.
...
$
However, as (as suggested by [1] and [2]) ghostview by now has
been replaced by gv, and since it may be confusing for a Debian
user not to find the former in the archive, these references
should be replaced by appropriate references to gv.
As I guess it's a bit unlikely for ghostview to be found in a
contemporary distribution, this change may be suggested to be
incorporated upstream.
