Many thanks for the patch and for the impressive fast delivery of a fix, it will be in the Debian package for 1.7.1. However, it would not be in the Debian package if I didn't make it a point to read every post to this mailinglist, even while moderately swamped with other work. Maybe the Ubuntu guys would have noticed it and picked it up, then I'd notice it eventually and grab it from their tree, but still... So, I am respectfully asking you guys to either CC us downstream distro maintainers directly, or to at least CC hplip-devel on all patches/hotfixes. If you could tag the message somehow (the standard used almost everywhere I know of is [PATCH] or [FIX]), it would be even better. Also, I ask you to not do away with the point releases. An 1.7.1.1 quick fix release with this patch would be welcome. And if other simple, obviously-right fixes show up before 1.7.2, further point releases would, too. The key reasoning here is to get minimal latency for these fixes for those who care. They don't really require the full-blown regression testing and QA a regular hplip release does, so they can be sent out much faster. I know it gets trickier with your installer package, but it would not be that difficult to teach it to look in the current directory where it is being run from for "hplip-<release>.<patchlevel>.patch" and apply the ones above the current installer patchlevel. Non-cummulative patches make this easy. Users could download the point release patches to the same directory as the installer, and it would apply them over as an upgrade run. There would be no need to regenerate (and therefore, test) the entire installer package for every point release. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
