[opensuse-factory] cups: upgrade from 1.4.x to version 1.5.0
Hello,
in the OBS project "Printing" there is now CUPS version 1.5.0
for various openSUSE and SLE versions.
It may take a few hours until RPMs appear under
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/
For openSUSE:Factory there is submitrequest 86888 pending
to upgrade CUPS in openSUSE:Factory to version 1.5.0.
See
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722057
for background information.
Basically:
According to
http://www.cups.org/roadmap.php
CUPS 1.4.x is no longer maintained by upstream
which is the reason to upgrade to version 1.5.0.
Backward incompatible changes:
* The main header cups/cups.h no longer includes the PPD header
cups/ppd.h which may require code changes to applications.
* CUPS no longer supports the old ~/.cupsrc or ~/.lpoptions files
from CUPS 1.1.x. The ~/.cups/client.conf and ~/.cups/lpoptions
files that were introduced in CUPS 1.2 must now be used.
* The scheduler now requires that filters and backends
have group write permissions disabled (security).

include the

Yes, but cups 1.4 is declared dead and we need to maintain cusp for two years. It has been tested and if it really is too problematic, we can still back out of it.

Many people depend on manufacturer supplied drivers. Will those be updated in time? If they don't work, you will have to warn on the release notes. And provide both cups. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
