Description:
Gimp 2.8.0-2 is built without ghostscript support, which implies inability to open or export to postscript files (EPS).

I downloaded the PKGBUILD and related files from https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/gimp and rebuilt it with ghostscript already installed and the postscript support is back.

Steps to reproduce:
Install gimp. It's not possible to open or export to EPS.

Rebuild gimp with ghostscript package installed and problem is solved.
This task depends upon

I work a lot with eps and ps files with gimp. Yes, I know that for some of you this might not be the very best solution but trust me that it is quite handy. The current lack of ghostscript support it is a big problem for my daily work flow. Please repack it correctly so this is not an issue any longer.
