Feature changed by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Feature #305345, revision 10 Title: Replace cups-autoconfig with hal-cups-utils openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important + Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: In openSUSE, we use cups-autoconfig to automatically configure new printers detected by HAL. However, no other distro uses this, and hal- cups-utils seems to be the long-term solution. Switching to hal-cups- utils means easier maintenance for us. hal-cups-utils also ships the hal backend for cups that we have in cups- backends. I've packaged a new cups-backends package (without the hal backend) and a hal-cups-utils package (with the hal backend, patched like what we had in cups-backends) in home:vuntz:factory-playground. So it's all ready for testing. Note: yast2-printer makes it possible to edit /etc/cups-autoconfig. conf. We might want to keep the configuration option of /etc/cups- autoconfig.conf in hal-cups-utils. Discussion: #1: Johannes Meixner (jsmeix) (2009-03-27 10:03:43) This one looks like a duplicate of FATE#305772 #2: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2009-06-05 14:46:45) Vinc, it looks like or it is? Please verify. Thanks #3: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2009-06-05 14:54:32) (reply to #2) 305772 has been closed as duplicate of this one already :-) + #4: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-06-24 13:50:35) + as the mail for the maintainer of cups-autoconf bounces, I suggest we + go ahead. Johannes, any problem you see? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305345
