Title: Replace cups-autoconfig with hal-cups-utils
openSUSE-11.2: New
Priority
Requester: Important
Requested by: Vincent Untz
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
In openSUSE, we use cups-autoconfig to automatically configure new printers detected by HAL. However, no other distro uses this, and hal-cups-utils seems to be the long-term solution. Switching to hal-cups-utils means easier maintenance for us.
hal-cups-utils also ships the hal backend for cups that we have in cups-backends.
I've packaged a new cups-backends package (without the hal backend) and a hal-cups-utils package (with the hal backend, patched like what we had in cups-backends) in home:vuntz:factory-playground. So it's all ready for testing.
Note: yast2-printer makes it possible to edit /etc/cups-autoconfig.conf. We might want to keep the configuration option of /etc/cups-autoconfig.conf in hal-cups-utils.
