This is not a severe/critical bug for openSUSE because:
- cups-lpd is rarely used. It is only needed for some kind of backward compatibility so that old LPD clients in the network can submit their jobs to a CUPS server.
what happens nearly 2000 times per day
- it happens only for huge jobs (>2G).
what happens nearly 20 times per year
We do not regularly fix such kind of bugs for openSUSE, only if time permits and when the opportunity arises.
On the other hand:
This could be relevant for business/enterprise usage because here old LPD clients in the network are more common and those client may regularly print huge jobs.
For business/enterprise usage we provide support only via our SUSE Linux Enterprise producs.
We are in a business environment with openSUSE 11.4+Evergreen on nearly 15 server.
If you use a SUSE Linux Enterprise product and when you have a support contract, you can use that support contact to get regular support.
There is currently no plan to use an Enterprise product. Next, we plan to migrate to 13.1. offtopic: I found no information to file a bug for more than one Product and I was unsure if I have to submit it to the oldest or to the newest. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My way to test other/newer versions is to compile it on destination system environment to avoid dependency problems and run my testsuite. Afterwards I can install it on a testsystem for a week or two. Are you interested in such a test, too?
If yes, I would appreciate feedback whether or not it works.

"My way to test other/newer versions is to compile it on destination system" As far as I can imagine your way how you use Linux I would like to recommend that you actively participate in the openSUSE community maintenance project Evergreen and that you actively contribute to it. I think "compile it on destination system" is not the best way how you could do it. Instead I would recommend that you use the openSUSE build service (OBS) and build your other/newer versions there - first of all only for you in your OBS home project and when it works for you, you should contribute it to the Evergreen project. I think it would be just fair when you use Evergreen in your business environment, that you give something back to those who make it possible that you can use Evergreen in your business environment. In this particular case you should contribute the str4351.patch to cups in openSUSE:Evergreen:11.4 so that also the other Evergreen users would benefit from it. Note that Evergreen is a real free openSUSE community project and not something official from SUSE. For details how to participate and contribute see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen I know Wolfgang Rosenauer (the leading developer of Evergreen) very well from the past when we worked together at SUSE. Wolfgang Rosenauer, please have a look at this whole bnc#864782 - basically it is about a bugfix for CUPS in openSUSE:Evergreen:11.4 that if mainly of interest in business environments (cups-lpd). I wonder if I could help the Evergreen project in any useful way regardless that I do not use any of the Evergreen distributions? I provide our current CUPS for various older openSUSE and SLE versions in the OBS project "Printing" but I do not have the time to maintain various older CUPS versions in various older openSUSE versions (i.e. I do not have the time to maintain CUPS in the Evergreen distributions). I wonder if our current CUPS in the OBS project "Printing" could be of any use for the Evergreen distributions? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
