update xaralx / PS / debian

[stuseven]

Yesterday I was able to install the latest stable debian release
(Etch)_ my xaralx / PS comments having previously been based
on use of the Sarge release.

The wonderful news is - PostScript exported from xaralx is now
directly importable to Scribus in debian... no more EPS dependency
or conversion problems, of which there had been many (it was
almost a year before I found all the libraries needed for the EPS
version of this same trick)... direct export of a finished *.xar file
(as PS, via print)... and then, just plugging this into a Scribus
document.

It is so much easier, now, to put finished XaraLX renderings to
use, quickly and directly - thus, I felt this post was completely
justifiable here.

So there have been some strides made in porting files over to scribus from xaralx? cool!

michaelbuddy - Hi. Yes, it is extremely cool. As I tried to indicate,
this is something Ive been struggling with for more than a year, so
it is extra cool for me(!)... however, I do not mean to suggest that
this improvment resulted, specifically, from any cooperative work
between XaraLX and Scribus...
...rather, Scribus has simply been fixed in the new (stable) debian
to support direct PostScript import... in fact, XaraLX has been able
to output PS for quite a while - we just couldnt use it without a lot
of extra work.
