Volunteer to upgrade GhostScript

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

Is there any volunteer to upgrade GhostScript?

I'm unable to upgrade some of my packages that are incompatible with < 9.15.

I started working on an update, but It's too complex to do it fast and
I'm catching other deadlines.

Among others I was stuck with mappingresources4pdf_2unicode which are
now being unversioned zip files on github
   https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/mapping-resources-pdf
(and please don't ask me why the weird packaging)

I'm not sure if it is possible to store
    /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ghostscript/ghostscript-9.16.tar.gz
    /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ghostscript/<tag>/mappingresources4pdf_2unicode.zip
    /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ghostscript/<tag>/mappingresources4pdf_other.zip
somehow or use some other trick.

Thank you,
    Mojca
