I want the "cups-pdf" to go into official repository.
CUPS-PDF is a PDF writer backend for CUPS. Official site: http://www.cups-pdf.de/
Uh, it runs as root and writes into directories owned by some user? Better ask security to take a look.
FYI see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printing_to_PDF In the past cups-pdf was always rejected to be provided "out of the box" in an official release to all our users because its security issues have not been solved. If we would make it by default sufficiently secure so that arbitrary users can "just install" it on arbitrary systems, it would be useless. Of course users who know what they do can download, install, and use it.
