Regarding comment#15 "Printing:Playground" and comment#16 "Printing:Factory":
I think we do not need a new project only for CUPS 1.6. I think it is simpler and sufficient to have CUPS 1.6 as separated OBS source package "cups16" in the "Printing" project. The cups16.spec file would build binary RPMs with same names as the package "cups" does, i.e. cups16.spec would contain: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: cups ... Version: 1.6.xxx ... %package libs ... %package client ... %package devel ... %package ddk -------------------------------------------------------------------- plus appropriate RPM requirements and conflicts to make sure that either CUPS <= 1.5 packages or CUPS >= 1.6 packages can be installed on an end-user system. This way the OBS source packages "cups" and "cups16" in "Printing" would build binary RPMs with same names but with different versions (name-1.5...rpm versus name-1.6...rpm). Additionally CUPS >= 1.6 requires the filters of the cups-filters software that is provided by OpenPrinting.org, see comment#2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061069 Title: CUPS 1.6 has major incompatible changes.
