For now Ghostrscript 9.18rc1 without --disable-compile-inits is only in the openSUSE development project "Printing", see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Printing in particular therein: --------------------------------------------------------- The "Printing" development project may contain new software or work-in-progress changes of existing software that might neither be in a stable state nor fit well into currently installed systems. --------------------------------------------------------- I know several openSUSE users have the "Printing" development project enabled on their systems so that they do beta-testing of our newest (crazy?) stuff. After a few weeks packages from the development project will get automatically forwarded into openSUSE Factory where a few automated tests may happen (or not). If no automated test fails, it will be forwarded from openSUSE Factory into openSUSE Tumbleweed which is our rolling release distribution of our newest stuff that is intended for somewhat experienced users. Nothing will reach unexperienced users all of a sudden. FYI: The next upcoming stable openSUSE release will be called "openSUSE Leap 42.1", see https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Leap and it will not contain that newest hottest Ghostscript.
