- From subscriptions.conf(5): The subscriptions.conf file defines the local subscriptions that are active. It is normally located in the /etc/cups directory and is gener‐ ated automatically by the cupsd(8) program when subscriptions are cre‐ ated, renewed, or cancelled. See also http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/ref-subscriptions-conf.html . It has been filed upstream at http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3018, but got rejected: """Unfortunately, the FHS does not address persistent *configuration* files that are generated by an application in response to user input. /etc is the only directory that actually fits, even though those files are typically written by a user.""" > If, OTOH, cups honors an admins's changes to the file, then it > does belong in /etc and etckeeper should version it. > > I don't have the file here, so cannot check. You are probably right, that it should be versioned by default maybe. The changes therein look like this: -ExpirationTime 1323164179 +ExpirationTime 1323174692 -NextSubscriptionId 179 -<Subscription 178> +NextSubscriptionId 180 +<Subscription 179> -ExpirationTime 1323117426 +ExpirationTime 1323164179 -ExpirationTime 1323113926 +ExpirationTime 1323117426 -NextSubscriptionId 178 -<Subscription 177> +NextSubscriptionId 179 +<Subscription 178> The whole file looks as follows here: # Subscription configuration file for CUPS v1.5.0 # Written by cupsd NextSubscriptionId 182 <Subscription 181> Events printer-state-changed printer-restarted printer-shutdown printer-stopped printer-added printer-deleted job-state-changed job-created job-completed job-stopped Owner daniel Recipient dbus:// LeaseDuration 3600 Interval 0 ExpirationTime 1323200151 NextEventId 1 </Subscription> Thanks, Daniel. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFO3mRkfAK/hT/mPgARAv0mAJ9jz2iRP01fxIgJiOrMklWIGSL8fQCgwxrw Hg/tjO+dvCQ9Zpv8/0rwluQ= =kMed -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
