Hi, first, sorry for making a broken commit into the CUPS GIT repository. I have simply overtaken a patch from a co-worker. I have fixed this patch now, removing the Ubuntu defaults, adding the missing patch and making the patch Ubuntu-only, as it is a temporary override of a failing test which prevents CUPS from building under Ubuntu. The Recommends: on ghostscript-cups I have now replace by a The Recommends: on cups-filters 1.0.36 OR ghostscript-cups. The ghostscript-cups in Suggests: I have removed as it is already in Recommends:.
I did the following change upstream: To make maintaining the CUPS filters easier and due to the fact that gstoraster depends on libcupsfilters now, I have moved all CUPS filters which come with Ghostscript (in the cups/ directory of the Ghostscript source) into the cups-filters package. The cups/ directory contains only the files for building the "cups" output device of Ghostscript now. This I have done in the upstream versions 9.08 of Ghostscript and 1.0.36 of cups-filters. I have also made the needed changes in the packaging in Ubuntu: ghostscript - Removed the ghostscript-cups binary package. cups-filters - cups-filters binary package gets "Provides/Conflicts/Replaces: ghostscript-cups" - Removed from cups-filters binary package: "Recommends/Breaks: ghostscript-cups (versioned)" printer-driver-..., lsb, ... - Replaced "Depends: ghostscript-cups" by "Depends: cups-filters (>= 1.0.36) | ghostscript-cups" - Same for "Recommends: ...". These changes should allow a smooth transition: - The "Depends: cups-filters (>= 1.0.36) | ghostscript-cups" allows to update the driver package before cups-filters gets updated to 1.0.36 or newer. - cups-filters 1.0.36 or newer removes ghostscript-cups, replacing gstoraster by its own upstream-up-to-date and backward-compatible version. This works also with older Ghostscript packages which still contain ghostscript-cups. - As ghostscript 9.08 and newer does not ship ghostscript-cups any more, this update can only be done when cups-filters 1.0.36 is uploaded. Can you please do this transition in Debian, preferably by back-merging the Ubuntu changes? The BZR repo of cups-filters is already appropriately and the GIT repo of CUPS are already updated. So mainly the printer driver packages and the lsb package need to get updated. See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+bug/1212012 for a patch for lsb. Please also do needed changes in README.Debian files if necessary. Thanks in advance. Till -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-printing-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
