Package: cupsys Version: 1.1.23-15 Severity: wishlist Please, install the dvi filter by default in the Debian package.
It was not immediate to discover about it, and it took some time to guess how to install it, as there are no explicit instructions. It works, so again, please install it by default in the distribution. At the very least, please add these instrucions to a /doc/cupsys/examples/filters/dvipipetops.INSTALL file: ================ To use the dvipipetops filter: - create an /etc/cups/local.convs file and add the contents of dvipipetops.convs to it - add the contents of dvipipetops.types to /etc/cups/mime.types - uncompress dvipipetops, give it exec permissions and put it in /usr/lib/cups/filter - restart cups with /etc/init.d/cupsys restart Now you can directly print .dvi files with cups without first converting them to ps. ================ -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.30-pre2-pr-hrt-1kHz-1 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages cupsys depends on: ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.0 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp 8.15.1.dfsg.1-2 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcupsimage2 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsys2 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgnutls12 1.2.9-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.14-7 Library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-5 OpenSLP libraries ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl-modules 5.8.8-4 Core Perl modules ii procps 1:3.2.6-2.2 /proc file system utilities ii xpdf-utils 3.01-7 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cupsys recommends: ii cupsys-client 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20060318-2 linuxprinting.org printer support ii smbclient 3.0.22-1 a LanManager-like simple client fo -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/browse: false cupsys/ports: 631 cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, socket, usb cupsys/portserror: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
