Hi,
I have posted a feature request for CUPS being adapted to the new FHS
extension
(http://lists.freestandards.org/pipermail/printing-architecture/2006/001512.html)
for printing:
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2202
Mike has answered that he will implement this in CUPS 1.3.
The problems are
- Of CUPS 1.3 there is not even an alpha version, will it go final
before the LSB 3.2 deadline?
- Novell and Red Hat want to put out an update to fulfill the FHS
extensions. Is it not perhaps a too high impact for an enterprise
distro to replace CUPS 1.2 (x >> 0) by CUPS 1.3, especially 1.3.0?
Or should we better recommend to the distros to simply do
ln -s /usr/share/ppd /usr/share/cups/model/usrshareppd
ln -s /opt/share/ppd /usr/share/cups/model/optshareppd
ln -s /usr/local/share/ppd /usr/share/cups/model/usrlocalshareppd
in their CUPS package for now? This makes CUPS searching for the PPDs in
the right places.
Till
