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?
I would do it myself via the build service but every time I've tried to do that has ended in abject failure. I obviously have no idea what I'm doing there...

Hmmm. The OBS manual is hopelessly incomplete (at least, the online version is). Useless for a newby, so far. Nevertheless, i have downloaded the source from cups.org, modified the supplied spec file BuildRequires lines to match the distro package names/versions for the dependencies and successfully built it locally using rpmbuild. Next, I've created a new project on OBS and uploaded the tar.bz2 source file (which I was able to build directly, locally, with rpm -ta <source-file.bz2>). Now what? OBS just doesn't want to know about building with only the compressed source file uploaded (at least, not via the web interface) but how to I tell it to extract it? Isn't this supposed to be easy? -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
