Another good news, i was just wondering how to use apsfilter with
hpijs...

Agree. But i think the gs55 port should stay as is the only GNU one (i
don't mind, but others people may consider it's important to have two
product with two licences).

Andreas> Concerning the driver support
Andreas> a) let us check, if gs7 already contains the hpijs drivers

Yes it does. In fact, it contains old ones (0.93, i think). 

Andreas> c) lets check how to update the gs7 port.

I've built a running gs7 by cloning and tweaking your gs6 port and
replacing the old hpijs source gs7 is using by the last ones
(0.95). For convenience, i've temporarily removed cdj850, hpdj* and
others drivers added by the gs6 port:

Andreas> Could you prepare an upgrade to gs7 ?

Now i know it's possible, i'm gonna try to produce a "beta port" of
Gs7 with new hpijs.
