This should be the last part of the renaming operation for print/cups to
print/cups-base.
Rationale: packages depending on CUPS but not relying on a functional
printing setup only need to depend on print/cups-base (equivalent to the
former print/cups). The new print/cups now depends on print/cups-base
and on print/cups-filters, thus directly providing a functional printing
setup. This bump reflects this change of dependency.
As discussed on tech-pkg@
This is with the notable exception of meta-pkgs/desktop-gnome, which I
believe implies a fully functional cups.
This is still missing revision bumps - I'll be right there (first time I
am doing this on so many packages at a time).
As discussed on tech-pkg@
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
CUPS-PDF is a PDF writer backend for CUPS.
It is designed to produce PDF files in a heterogeneous network by providing a
PDF printer on the central fileserver. It will convert files printed to its
queue in CUPS to PDF and put them in a per-user-based directory structure.
It can execute post-processing scripts, e.g. to allow mailing the results
to the user.
