Regarding "Drop support for CUPS Browsing and Polling" (see comment #0)
Ludwig Nussel suggested an interesting idea how to provide backward
compatibility in this case:
When a CUPS <= 1.5.x server should be replaced by a CUPS >= 1.6.x server
in a bigger network printing environment with arbitrary client systems,
the existing client systems expect to get CUPS Browsing information
as it had worked all the time up to CUPS <= 1.5.x.
Of course the admin could "just upgrade" all those arbitrary
client systems with CUPS >= 1.6.x - but perhaps he might not like it ;-)
To provide CUPS Browsing information to the clients
a separated CUPS-Browsing-daemon could be implemented
that gets print queue information from a CUPS >= 1.6.x server
and creates CUPS Browsing information.
The crucial point is that such a CUPS-Browsing-daemon is separated
software and not a SUSE-specific add-on-hack for CUPS 1.6.x
so that our CUPS 1.6.x is still in full compliance with upstream
and admins who don't need or want such a CUPS-Browsing-daemon
don't need to install its RPM package.
