print/cups and update it to 2.1.3. Also remove print/cups-pstoraster,
improve print/cups-filters, print/foomatic-* and update print/hplip to
3.16.2.
Long description:
First some background. When you hand a file to cups it sets up a chain of
filter programs that converts the file to something a printer understands.
Each filter has a cost associated with it and cups tries to find the
cheapest chain. Costs used to be configured in such a way that files were
first converted to PostScript. This could then be manipulated further (e.g.
putting multiple pages on one sheet) before finally being sent to a
PostScript printer or another filter like pstoraster which produces a raster
format understood by non-PostScript printer drivers. Nowadays most filters
have been moved from cups to cups-filters and they have been configured to
use PDF as an intermediate format instead of PostScript.
Merging of cups-base, cups-client and cups-image into print/cups:
- cups-image provides a library to work with the cups raster format. It is
only used to implement filters and printer drivers and these only exist
in the context of a cups server so there's no need to separate this from
cups-base.
- cups-client provides a library that allows applications to print via cups.
It is possible to use the library to access a remote cups server without
running a local cups server, but such a setup is discouraged and the
configuration file to set this up has been marked deprecated. It is
better to run a local cups server and let that talk to the remote cups
server because then you have the benefits of local job queuing in case the
remote server is down or busy. Given this and the fact that without
filters cups-base is now smaller than it used to be it makes sense to
merge the ports. The patch also adds options IPPTOOL, DOCS and NLS which
when disabled make the new cups package smaller than the current
cups-client package. Merging the ports also prevents problems with
options like ZEROCONF being configured differently in both ports.
- print/cups was a metaport that depended on cups-base and some filters.
There isn't really a need for such a metaport so cups-base can be renamed
to cups. The filters can be depended on by printer drivers such as hplip
if they need them.
Additional changes to the new print/cups:
- Clean up the patches. They seem to have been regenerated with post-patch
changes included.
- Add a patch to prevent intermediate conversion to PDF when a PostScript
file is sent to a PostScript printer when cups-filters is installed.
- Fix the PAM configuration file.
- Add a patch to let the server search /usr/local/share/ppd like on Linux so
other ports don't have to add links to it.
- Remove ulpt(4) helper scripts. The port uses libusb with ugen(4).
- Remove support for mDNSResponder. cups-filters only supports Avahi.
- Combine ICONS and XDG_OPEN options into an X11 option to support WITHOUT_X11.
- Optionally depend on colord for ICC profile support.
- Various smaller changes.
Changes to print/cups-filters:
- Let the cups_browsed rc.d script depend on cupsd and avahi_daemon instead
of LOGIN.
- Development of foomatic-filters has been moved to cups-filters so let this
port install foomatic related files and add foomatic-filters to CONFLICTS.
- Fix location of liblouis tables.
- Add patch to fix ICC support.
Changes to print/cups-pstoraster:
This port is essentially an old version of Ghostscript plus a cups filter.
It's no longer developed. This commit removes it and changes existing
dependencies to print/cups-filters which depends on print/ghostscript* and
includes a gstoraster filter that can handle both PostScript and PDF.
Changes to print/foomatic-db*:
Remove old MASTER_SITES and dependencies and eliminate PKGNAMEPREFIX.
Changes to print/foomatic-filters:
Install beh backend with its original name again and add cups-filters to
CONFLICTS.
Changes to print/hplip:
- Stop installing hpijs/foomatic-rip support. This is no longer supported
upstream.
- Stop installing hpcups PPDs. These are now automatically generated. The
bundled PPDs are generated for an older version of cups.
- Rename the QT option to X11 to support WITHOUT_X11.
- Simplify the patches now that ports are installed in a staging area.
- Add a patch to set SO_REUSEPORT (next to SO_REUSEADDR) on the mDNS socket
like avahi-daemon does. This fixes Zeroconf support for HP network
printers.

Reportlab2 has been unsupported for a long time, and it isn't compatible with
the current graphics/py-pillow version. Users should use print/py-reportlab

This software creates output using the PPA (printer performance
architecture) protocol. This protocol is used by some HP "Windows-only"
printers, including the HP Deskjet 820C series, the HP DeskJet 720 series,
and the HP DeskJet 1000 series. It has been tested on all three printers,
but your personal experience (positive or negative) is very much appreciated!

- Retire USE_GHC_NATIVE: it is not needed any more
- Do not rely on DISTNAME for setting CABAL_LIBSUBDIR: this caused problems
when using USE_GITHUB
- Improve integration with print/hs-hscolour
Obtained from: FreeBSD Haskell
Why this change ?
- When compiling print/cups-base, if WITHOUT_X11=yes is present in
/etc/make.conf, CUPS still tries to update the "Icons cache".
- For this, it tries to build graphics/gtk-update-icon-cache,
which in turns requires graphics/cairo, but Cairo builds without
X11 support as requested, and graphics/gtk-update-icon-cache
fails to build because it needs X11.

We'd like to thanks for all the feedback and comments.
This is the latest stable release at time of writing.
Release announcement: http://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/07/01/qt-5-5-released/
New features in Qt 5.5: https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.5
As usual, huge thanks to Tobias Berner (tcberner@gmail.com) for all his work
on these ports in kde@'s experimental area51 repository. He's the one who
started the update and did a lot of the initial work on Qt 5.5. Ralf Nolden
(nolden@kde.org) has contributed the initial version of most of our new Qt5
ports.
Also thanks to Yuri Victorovich (yuri@rawbw.com) for contributing PR 205805
with his own patch for the 5.5.1 update. Some of his changes there prompted
additional fixes and changes present in the final patch generated from our
experimental repository.
New ports:
- comms/qt5-connectivity, comms/qt5-sensors, devel/qt5-location,
graphics/qt5-3d, net/qt5-enginio, x11-toolkits/qt5-canvas3d,
x11-toolkits/qt5-uiplugin.
General changes in all Qt5 ports:
- All Qt5 ports are now built with -Wl,--as-needed to avoid overlinking,
which is a problem with qmake-based because the libraries passed to the
linker come from the modules .pri files and many are not necessary.
- With this change, several ports had their USE_QT5 lines adjusted to
explicitly include some libraries that were pulled in implicitly, and to
exclude libraries no longer required with -Wl,--as-needed.
Changes in specific ports:
- devel/qt5: Drop the SQL_PLUGINS and TOOLS options and depend on all Qt5
ports by default. It makes the Makefile much simpler, and those options
were already on by default.
- devel/qt5-core: The clang+base libstdc++ workaround has been expanded and
more C++11 features have been disabled when that combination is used by a
port (basically, FreeBSD 9 with USES=compiler:c++11-lang). The disabled
features have explanations for why they were disabled in the patched
header itself.
- devel/qt5-designer: uiplugins has been split out following a similar
change upstream. By depending on qt5-uiplugin, qt5-uitools avoids having
to depend on the big qt5-designer port.
- multimedia/qt5-multimedia: The port now uses GStreamer 1.0 instead of
0.10.
- net/qt5-network: The port now depends on libproxy for proxy settings.
Using libproxy allows proxy settings to be read from different sources,
and also allows .pac files to work with Qt.
- www/qt5-webkit: The port now uses GStreamer 1.0 instead of 0.10.

The CUPS plugin in src/plugins/printsupport/cups actually links against
libcups.so, so cups-client needs to be more than a build-time dependency.
This is part of Yuri Victorovich's Qt 5.5.1 patch set (which he submitted
without knowing kde@ was already working on the update). This bug fix is
orthogonal to the 5.5.1 update and we had not spotted this before, so I am
landing this separately.
