Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Current:
> * The USB backend no longer supports the usb:/dev/foo > format on systems that support device ID queries since 1.2.1-1. > Because Linux supports device ID queries, you have to > replace your printer configuration uses usb:/dev/foo style > with device ID style. usb backend will show device IDs of > active USB printers. > * Port/Listen and Browsing parameters are merged again to > /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. Therefore debconf configuration interface > for them is removed. For your information, CUPS Web interface > (http://localhost:631) provides a server configuration interface. Suggested improvement: > * The USB backend no longer allows 'usb:/dev/foo' syntax in > its configuration under Linux. [1] You'll have to replace it > with the new device ID syntax as follows: [2]. Use 'lsusb' to > see what device IDs your printers have. [3] > * The 'Port'/'Listen' parameters have again been merged into > the 'Browsing' configuration parameter. Therefore the accompanying > debconf configuration interface has been removed. Consider using > CUPS' web interface for configuration tasks. [4] [1] I'd omit "since 1.2.1-1", because the user will only see the NEWS entries that are relevant to his upgrade path anyway. Say if he updates from 1.2.1-2 to 1.2.1-3 then he won't see the entry twice but if she updates from 1.2.1-1 then she will see it. [2] Unfortunately a moderately quick search didn't tell me how USB "device ID"s look like or where they are documented. If there isn't any good example on how device IDs look like then saying "You'll have to replace it with the new device ID syntax documented at [file|http://some.place]documentation.html [3] I unfortunately didn't understand the phrase "usb backend will show device IDs of active USB printers." at all. What do you mean by the usb backend"? Maybe 'lsusb'? [4] As said in [1] when a user will be updating the cupsys package, she will see all the NEWS items that apply to the version jump. Thus she will be seing the notice, that Port listen have been introduced and later a notice that they have been abolished again. In order to make updating from sarge to etch less confusing I'd suggest to remove the respective NEWS regarding the Port/Listen <-> Browsing items before the next stable release.
