I appreciate any help regarding HPLIP very much!
And I like to help wherever I can :-)
As far as I know up to now, submitreq does basically nothing more than telling me that someone likes to get changes committed
I was not aware of this. What I normally do is to create a branch of the original project, make the necessary changes until it builds and then place a submitreq to have my changes incorporated.
Therefore I would like to suggest that you build the newest HPLIP for openSUSE 11.0, 11.1, and factory simply in your home project.
Already done :-) As described above, this is the standard way how I make the updates.
I would very much appreciate it when you make your HPLIP based upon our official source RPM.
As indicated I created a link to the hplip package in Factory and started from there. This way I can test which patches should still remain, which needs adjustments and which can be removed.
Additionally - as mentioned above - I think that this way we get the newest HPLIP very much more tested when it can be used by our normal users in openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1 so that it helps both our normal users and us.
The question only is where to announce that there is a newer build for hplip ? I will definitely place a message on the factory mailing list, but I assume that users of the previous openSUSE versions will not read this mailing list Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
