Graham Murray wonders:
Has the libreoffice ebuild suddenly developed stability problems? Today
is the 4th time in five days that my daily ~x86 emerge uD world has
rebuilt libreoffice. On 1st Sept it was because of a use flag change,
then the next day a new version was put in the tree, then there was an
-r1 release and today there is yet another use flag change.
Same here on ~amd64. The last change is that cups is mandatory now,
What??
So if I don't have a printer, and have no intention of printing
anything from this system, libreoffice requires that I install Cups?
In my puny laptop, CUPS takes 1 min to compile, the source code is 4.4
Mb and the installed binaries are 9.3 Mb. It seems to be updated at
the rate of once a month, roughly.
I have never configured CUPS, *ever*, and it always just works when I
connect to a new network. The printers just appear in the print
dialog, and it always works. It always remembers my last selected
options.
To me it seems a rather sane default to always require the most used
printing system in an office suite.
This is rather odd. For the longest, every time I had a cups update, I
had to delete my printers then add them back again. It would not print
until I did so. That wasn't long ago either. I haven't had to do that
the last few upgrades but for over a year, that was required. It used
to get on my nerves. Restarting the service I can understand. It needs
to reload its new config and all but not deleting and adding them again.
Maybe you and I should add, YMMV. ;-)
