Thanks for the MIR, however, as you wanted to do a simple MIR and not a full
one, this is really lacking details and not tracking the real packages the MIRs
are supposed to apply on.
Please be considerate for the reviewer and help them as much as possible by
following the process, so that from one bug report, we can see:
- which source packages are impacted
- which binary packages needs to be promoted.
That, without any more verbiage.
Also, those packages were packaged a very long time ago, so it’s
probably the right opportunity to ensure, especially with the split,
that they all confirmant with the MIR policy.
So, do you mind:
- add one source package for any source package impacted.
- for each source package, check the MIR requirements and file the template,
ONE FOR EACH, in the description (you can separate them by markers to make it
clearer).
- state in each source package what code was moved where
- remove cups-filters source package from here, and tell what’s going to
happens with current cups-filters source package. Should it be demoted?
Until there, I’m marking that bug as incomplete.

Title:
[MIR] libcupsfilters libppd cups-browsed
Status in cups-filters package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This is a simplified MIR for the splitting of the cups-filters source
package.
With the second generation (2.x) cups-filters upstream got split into
5 independent component repositories:
- libcupsfilters
- libppd
- cups-filters
- braille-printer-app
- cups-browsed
See
https://openprinting.github.io/cups-filters-Second-Generation-First-
Beta-Release/
braille-printer-app still needs some upstream work for getting
released, the others were already released as 2.0b2.
libcupsfilters, cups-filters, and cups-browsed contain mainly the code
from the former cups-filters (1.x) which is already in Main. libppd
contains code from CUPS (libcups and cups-ppdc) which is also in Main.
As of
https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-mir
----------
If a new source package contains only code which is already in main (e.g. the
result of a source package split or rename, or source packages with a version
in the name), it may not need a full review. Submitting a MIR bug with an
explanation (but without the full template) or updating/extending on the
existing old MIR bug and re-opening it by setting it to "NEW" is sufficient.
----------
This report does not need the full template.
The original packages (cups-filters and cups) are in Main already for
more than a decade, so repetition of the original MIR would not be
useful. cups was already in Ubuntu from the very beginning on and
therefore probably in Main since the differentiation of Main and
Universe got introduced.
The binary packages are named as before (except SONAME of libraries
being 2 instead of 1 now), binary packages for libppd added. So
current dependencies and seeding should pull in everything (libppd is
a library and cups-filters depends on it).
libfontembed has been discontinued (folded into libcupsfilters, API
removed) but no package uses it (except the components of cups-filters
1.x thenselves).
braille-printer-app will be added to this report (or a new simplified
MIR report created) as soon as it gets released upstream. Its binary
package(s) will need to get seeded.
