Hi all,

GNOME 3.9.90 comes with a requirement for cups 1.6 (1.6.2 was released in March).

The functionality offered: + Printers: - Poll remote CUPS servers for notifications.

Is there a specific reason that we do still have cups 1.5.x in Factory?

There is a bug:

...

Any chance to update this?

I think the incompatibilities may be an issue.

Thanks.. incompatibility is now what we want at this stage; I already looked at the issue from 'the other' side and it was rather trivial to make it build with cups 1.5 without loosing functionality (the cups 1.6 getter/setter functions were used; so I just added macros to fall back to the old style direct access). So, let's stay with 1.5 an let's see to get upgraded for 13.2.

Long list :)

Yes - many incompatible changes. Currently I cannot tell when the upgrade from CUPS 1.5 to CUPS 1.7 will happen. Current upstream has already CUPS 1.7rc1 and because the 1.7 series is primarily a "polish" release (see http://www.cups.org/articles.php) I intend to skip CUPS 1.6 and upgrade directly to CUPS 1.7.

anyway: as mentioned later in my thread I 'fixed' gnome-control-center to stay compatible with cups 1.5.

Very many thanks for that! It removes the pressure to upgrade CUPS right now. I expect that desktop toolkits and application programs will require the new APIs in CUPS >= 1.6 to implement dynamic printers support directly on their own (so that they do no longer need dynamic printers support via the traditional "CUPS Browsing"), see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c15 FYI: See in particular https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c18 and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404#c24 Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH -- Maxfeldstrasse 5 -- 90409 Nuernberg -- Germany HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendoerffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
