the installed files are not automatically included in the right place in
the system path and need to be either copied in /usr/bin or dealt with in
another way.
The saves a lot of frustration and puzzling esp. for the beginning user.
Change the cupsd rc.d script to REQUIRE slpd. This is needed for the
case where cupsd actually uses SLP to register services (by setting
BrowseProtocols to include "slp") and does nothing otherwise.
of the diffs between vanilla CUPS and pkgsrc CUPS will be sent back to
the author.
* Allow overriding the default paths for "CUPS_SERVERBIN" and
"CUPS_LOCALEDIR" by passing values through the configure script.
This facilitates using custom directory hierarchies as is common in
various packaging systems.
* Allow choosing the man page extension style by passing values
directly through the configure script. This allows overriding the
defaults for an operating system, which can happen in some packaging
systems. Leave the default behaviour unchanged if not specified.
- security fix to scheduler to address a DoS attack
- improve conformance to IPP specification
- miscellaneous bug fixes to server and userland utilities
- plug memory leaks
- bug fixes to SSL code
- the mime.convs file was missing the filter definition for Windows BMP
(image/x-bitmap) files
- improved test suite
- added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
- The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default queue when an
empty queue name (or "lp" and there is no "lp" queue) is sent.
- The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a "*cupsFax: True"
attribute in the PPD file.
- The scheduler now supports print files that have been compressed using
gzip.
- Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to prevent search
engines from indexing the CUPS server.
- When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now includes the rm and
rp attributes, allowing the file to be exported to LPD clients.
- The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the printable area of the
page.
- The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript files and files
beginning with the PJL language escape sequence.
- Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and PS RIPs.
NetBSD, by linking in -lcrypt before -lcrypto in the shared library and
scheduler. (cups_crypto() looks to fall-back to crypt(). Both of the
shared libraries in question have crypt(), but only the one in -lcrypt
supports blowfish hashes.) Not tested.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
to IPP requests. It's controlled by two new variables that may be set in
/etc/rc.conf:
cupsd_wait=YES # set to "YES" to wait for cupsd to detect printers;
# this variable is optional and defaults to "NO".
cupsd_timeout=60 # set to the number of seconds we wait for cupsd
# to respond before we declare it not responding;
# this variable is optional and defaults to "60".
The wait command may also be directly invoked as "/etc/rc.d/cupsd wait".
Bump PKGREVISION of print/cups to 1.
- SECURITY FIX: The scheduler now provides a FileDevice directive to
control whether new printers can be added using device URIs of the form
"file:/filename". The default is to not allow printers with these
device URIs.
- SECURITY FIX: Potential underflow/overflow bug in web interface.
- SECURITY FIX: Race condition in certificate creation.
- SECURITY FIX: Bad URIs in browse packets could be used to exploit the
web interface underflow/overflow bug.
- SECURITY FIX: Some types of Denial of Service attacks were not handled
properly, so once the attack was over the scheduler did not close the
connections immediately on all platforms.
- SECURITY FIXES: Added integer overflow/underflow checks for all image
formats.
- Bug fixes to the scheduler.
- Upgraded pdftops filter to Xpdf 2.01 with fixes for TrueType fonts.
- Added a MaxClientsPerHost configuration directive to provide limited
protection against Denial of Service attacks.
- Bug fixes to the backends and scheduler.
- Bug fixes to the image filters.
- The scheduler now allows accounts authenticated via PAM to not have a
corresponding UNIX account, but group membership still requires the
account name to be listed in the UNIX group file(s)...
- Added some startup performance enhancements to the scheduler so that the
printer object information is regenerated fewer times and the MIME type
database is not filled with lots of empty filters for raw/direct queues.
- The backends now ignore SIGPIPE so that failed job filters will not stop
a print queue.
- User-defined classification strings are now printed verbatim.
- The lpstat command did not allow for destination lists.
- The LPD backend now sends the job title as the print filename.
- Added support for variable sizes in the EPSON dot matrix printer drivers.
This allows for pages as short as 1/2" (1 row of labels) and does not do
an automatic form feed.
- The Solaris USB backend now supports the new device URI syntax.
- The serial backend now enumerates serial ports under MacOS X.
CUPS 1.1.16 adds support for a new CUPS printer driver for Windows
NT/2000/XP that provides accurate page accounting as well as support
for the banner, job billing, job priority, and page label options. The
new release also contains many small bug fixes and enhancements,
including better USB printing support, support for printer names
containing any printable character (123print, my-long-printer-name,
etc.), and French language localization of the web interface and
documentation.
======================================================================
* Removed the pstoraster filter (based on GNU Ghostscript 5.50) and now
* provide the raster "driver" and patch file necessary to use the current
* GNU Ghostscript 7.05 release. Pkgsrc users should install the
* print/ghostscript-esp package.
======================================================================
- Many, many bug fixes.
- Improvements to polling and scheduling of jobs to CUPS and to connected
printers.
- Updated the CUPS license agreement for the new MacOS and OpenSSL license
exceptions.
- The jobs.cgi web interface now handles all job operations, allowing the
administrator to allow "job administrators" or operators to manage jobs
(but not queues) on the server.
- New SCSI printer backend.
- The PostScript filter now supports 6, 9, and 16-up output, as well as new
page-border and number-up-layout options.
- Added ConfigFilePerm and LogFilePerm directives.
- The HTML job operation templates now link back to the destination printer
or class.
- Removed unnecessary fonts and updated the Courier and Symbol fonts to the
latest versions to better support non-ISOLatin1 text.
- The text filter now always embeds the Courier and Symbol fonts to ensure
that they contain the full set of glyphs.
- The PostScript image filter (imagetops) now supports printing CMYK images
using the CMYK colorspace.
- The cupsaddsmb program was updated to use the setdriver command instead of
addprinter.
- The Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and BrowseAddress directives
now support the network interface names "@LOCAL" and "@IF(name)" for
access control and browsing based on the current interface addresses
instead of fixed names or IP addresses.
- The cupsaddsmb program now supports alternative CUPS and SAMBA server names.
- The PostScript filter now supports the Orientation comment and rotates the
page as needed automatically.
buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.

- The ippRead() function did not verify that the
attribute name length or string with language value
was not larger than the read buffer.
- The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
the configuration files the first time; this prevented
the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
- Added Swedish message catalog.
- The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
- MacOS X fixes.
- The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
user information when executing the rpcclient program.
This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
2.2.x.
- The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
when checking on the print job status. This prevented
it from waiting for the job to complete when
communicating with some IPP implementations that
require it.
CUPS 1.1.13 adds support for the KOI8-R and KOI8-U encodings, message
catalogs for several Russian locales and for Simplified Chinese,
improvements for MacOS X (Darwin) and IRIX, improvements to the PDF,
PostScript, and text filters, status reporting for IPP-based printers
(paper out, etc.), and improvements to the SAMBA driver export facility.
The new release also fixes bugs in the scheduler, the lpstat command, the
CUPS API, and the pstoraster filter.
- Bug fixes.
- Start of internationalization support for banner and PPD files.
- Added support for embedded TrueType fonts in PDF files.
- Added support for PostScript functions in PDF files.
- Added new "cupsaddsmb" utility for exporting CUPS printer drivers to
SAMBA/Windows clients.
- The ippRead() and ipp_read_file() functions could not handle more than
IPP_MAX_VALUES (100) values in a 1setOf attribute. These functions have
been updated to dynamically allocate more memory as needed, and the
IPP_MAX_VALUES constant now represents the allocation increment. [this
caused some versions of the GIMP-print drivers to fail since the number
of media options exceeded 100...]
- The web interfaces did not always quote < and & in things like the job
title. This had the potential for browser-based security violations (on
the browser's machine); bug report from SuSE.
- The scheduler now treats unauthenticated usernames as case-insensitive
when doing quota and allow/deny processing.
- The PostScript filter (pstops) now handles EPS files, adding a showpage
command to the files as needed.
- The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not support anonymous printing (no username
specified). While the username is REQUIRED by RFC-1179, MacOS clients do
not send the REQUIRED username information when printing via LPD.
- The httpConnect*() functions now try all available addresses for a host
when connecting for the first time.
This value may be customized in various ways:
PKG_SYSCONFBASE is the main config directory under which all package
configuration files are to be found.
PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR is the subdirectory of PKG_SYSCONFBASE under which the
configuration files for a particular package may be found.
PKG_SYSCONFDIR.${PKGBASE} overrides the value of ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} for a
particular package.
Users will typically want to set PKG_SYSCONFBASE to /etc, or accept the
default location of ${PREFIX}/etc.
This obsoletes the use of CONFDIR, which was active for only 6 days, so no
need to have a workaround to still accept old CONFDIR settings.
