Hello fellow developers, CUPS 1.3 has been in the tree for quite some time now and has matured to a degree where it should be ready to go stable. We've no open CUPS bugs for 1.3 anymore. Also maintaining CUPS 1.2 will be even harder as time goes by since there's nearly no month passing without a new CVE affecting CUPS and we have to plug the holes with patches.
KDE 3.5.9 will go stable any time soon and I'd like to have CUPS stabilised along with it since an upgrade from CUPS 1.2 to 1.3 would mean an additional rebuild of kdelibs. An ewarn message has already been added to the ebuild to notify our users to run etc-update and revdep-rebuild after upgrading from CUPS 1.2 since this is very important. If there's anything I might oversee please speak up. Upstream feature changelog for CUPS 1.3 can be found here: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/whatsnew.html Our current cups-1.3.7-r1 ebuild: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-print/cups/cups-1.3.7-r1.ebuild?view=markup Regards Timo Gurr -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
