Missing support for postscript files

[gj207]

On page https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Evince you write the following:

Evince supports documents in: PDF, PS, EPS, XPS, DjVu, TIFF, DVI (with SyncTeX), and Comic Books archives (CBR, CBT, CBZ, CB7).

However, opening a .ps (postcript) file with the current flatpak of evince results in the error message that this file format is not supported. In contrast to other packages /distributions of evince the build configuration option "--enable-ps" is obviously missing in the flatpak build process. Can you please add that option for future builds?

There are some security concerns about Postscript, see:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/1058

Maybe PS files were not enabled by the flathub maintainers intentionally.
Stripping "PS, EPS" from the list of supported formats in the metainfo file might be a good idea.

We do not build it because that would require building ghostscript and its dependencies, which back then looked too much. We may need to revisit it.

In flatpak we do not support DVI either, because that would mean pulling a big SDK for little gain, and/or build TeX.

Fine! However, if you do not want to support these file types, you need to revise the program description I quoted in my first post at the top of this thread, as it is indeed wrong and you are misleading (potential) users of flatpak evince.
