commit d57dee7ab66f60537b557cb602be194e3eed253d Author: Dag-Erling Smørgrav <[email protected]> AuthorDate: 2026-02-19 17:55:06 +0000 Commit: Dag-Erling Smørgrav <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2026-02-21 21:26:51 +0000 lpr: Add deprecation notice These programs require elevated privileges to work and have not seen regular maintenance in decades. Unless someone steps up and overhauls them, we will have to remove them before 16.0. Better-maintained alternatives are available in ports (print/cups, sysutils/LPRng).
