Hi all, Currently, the book has CUPS-1.2.7. 1.2.10 is the current version.
However, the current version fails the test suite miserably. It is a known bug, and fixed in SVN. I made a very small patch that updates the 1.2.10 'test' directory to SVN, and all but 1 test passes (there are 9 that fail before the patch). Note that you must run the dbus-uuidgen program first, or you will get additional failures. I cannot figure out which other file(s) needs changing to get all the tests to fail, so I created a patch that bumps the current version (1.2.10) to current SVN. It builds, and tests just fine. Here are the files changed using the bigger patch: patching file CHANGES.txt patching file backend/usb-darwin.c patching file backend/usb-unix.c patching file backend/usb.c patching file conf/mime.convs patching file conf/mime.types patching file config-scripts/cups-common.m4 patching file configure patching file cups/cups.h patching file cups/language.c patching file cups/localize.c patching file cups/ppd.c patching file cups/request.c patching file filter/interpret.c patching file filter/pstops.c patching file packaging/cups.spec patching file scheduler/classes.c patching file scheduler/conf.c patching file scheduler/ipp.c patching file scheduler/job.c patching file scheduler/printers.c patching file templates/pl/printers.tmpl patching file test/4.2-cups-printer-ops.test patching file test/4.3-job-ops.test patching file test/4.4-subscription-ops.test patching file test/run-stp-tests.sh Our choices are this: 1. Simply leave 1.2.7 in the book until 1.2.11 comes out. 2. Use the small patch (4006 bytes) and note in the book that one test will fail. 3. Use the larger patch (706998 bytes) and call it 'upstream_fixes' or something. 4. Do something else (Fedora CVS doesn't really help, and I didn't check any other distro, including Paldo).
