In terms of Gentoo portage, Ghostscript is at 7.05.6-r3. That is the
latest and also the "stable" ebuild.

Peter would know about higher versions and what they provide.

With regards to lcms, I have submitted a bug in the Gentoo bugzilla
seeing if 1.11 can be made stable or to see if people are finding bugs
with it. No response yet.

I am hoping to push lcms 1.11 to stable (if it is) in Gentoo portage for
the next (1.1.3 or 1.1.4) Scribus release. I will also be requesting the
ghostscript be included as a dependency, with the current 7.05.6 as a
minimum.

I'm testing 1.1.3cvs today and there are some fixes/additions that are
great too.
