We all who worked or (still have to) work with its code see that clearly and know that since a long time. Years ago I did some attempts in several ways to get it removed but there was always no response so I had to give up because I cannot endlessly waste my time with useless attempts. FYI some background information how it happened that the current YaST printer code became the official one: I developed it on my own only as a proof of concept for UI enhancements of the older YaST printer module. So at that time (in 2008) I made an "experimental YaST printer module" to get not just nice looking design ideas but something which is really implemented so that one can test how its usability is "out there in the real world". I documented all that in https://en.opensuse.org/Archive:YaST_Printer_redesign I never intended that my experimental code in my "experimental YaST printer module" should ever become official code in an official YaST module. In June 2008 I was on parental leave and when I came back in August 2008 I noticed that my "experimental YaST printer module" had become the official YaST printer module. I was rather shocked at that time because my "experimental YaST printer module" was missing major functionality, in particular regarding printing via network and cupsd config. So from August 2008 until December 2008 I had to quickly hack in the missing functionality to get it somehow ready to use for the upcoming openSUSE 11.1 release on December 18 2008, see "openSUSE 11.1 includes a new printer module" in https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/announce@lists.opensuse.org/message... One can also retrace that in the YaST printer RPM changes entries at that time, see https://build.opensuse.org/projects/YaST:Head/packages/yast2-printer/files/y... starting at "Mon Aug 11 14:11:31 CEST 2008" This way I became "de facto" author and maintainer of the official YaST printer module which I never intended. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
