Mailinglist Archive: opensuse-factory (845 mails)

[Johannes Meixner <jsmeix@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

opensuse-factory is the wrong list for such questions
because this list is for "Discussion about all  Alpha,
Beta, RC and Factory versions of openSUSE", see
http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate/Mailinglists

Use opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx instead.

Regarding SANE:

Nothing very important.
Only the usual never-ending udev/HAL/hal-resmgr changes
for each version but this should be set up correctly if you
install openSUSE 11.0 from scratch (to make it 100% sure
to have all the new stuff and nothing old left by accident,
e.g. an old udev or HAL config file with outdated syntax)
and then set up the scanner(s) anew with YaST.
By the way, have a look at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=347943
and
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340173


Regarding CUPS:
There are backward incompatibilities from CUPS 1.1 to 1.3, see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Up to SUSE LINUX 10.1 we provided CUPS 1.1 and since
openSUSE 10.2 we provide CUPS 1.2 which is not fully backward
compatible with CUPS 1.1. Therefore in case of an update
it is recommended not to use an outdated cupsd.conf
from a CUPS 1.1 installation before but to start from scratch
with the original cupsd.conf from our CUPS 1.2 RPM.

For example RunAsUser is no longer supported
...
Additionally by default cupsd in CUPS 1.2 listens only
on internal ("localhost") network interfaces
-----------------------------------------------------------------
and in particular for CUPS 1.3 see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=387130
and follow the links therein.


Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
