Hi all. I note that the latest version of cups in any of the official repositories is version 1.5.4, but the latest version available from cups.org is 1.7.4.
According to the cups.org release notes, 1.7.4 includes many fixes including at least one security related fix. Is anyone working on packaging 1.7.4 for openSuSE?
You may want to look at https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing, section "Work in Progress" And also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404 "CUPS >= 1.6 has major incompatible changes. Do not use CUPS >= 1.6 on production systems!" for the reasons *why* new newest official version is 1.5.4. Basically, our CUPS Apple overlords removed many of the non-OS-X features from CUPS core distribution that Linux depended on.
