I'd be *really* annoyed if command line printing went away. I don't care if it's lpd or lpr, but I work mostly in text mode using a stack of xterms, one per work project. So having to start up a GUI window to print could easily get annoying. I use a2ps to format stuff to feed to lp.
On a separate subject: WHO ADMINISTERS THE OI MAILING LISTS? HOW CAN I CONTACT THEM? Posting anything to the OI lists will cause me to get dropped because of bounces resulting from the yahoo DMARC policy. I had Klimov post to the "discuss" list about this and I've emailed the list admins, but without any response. The Illumos lists have fixed the problem, so it's not that difficult. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 5/6/14, Peter Tribble <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: Re: [oi-dev] [developer] 2837 - remove print/lp* from gate and use CUPS from userland To: "Garrett D'Amore" <[email protected]> Cc: "OpenIndiana Developer mailing list" <[email protected]>, "Developer Lists Illumos" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, May 6, 2014, 9:43 AM What part of the lp stack actually uses apache? I suspect it's only ipp, mod_ipp specifically, and that the rest of the lp stack has no dependency at all. I would be perfectly happy to see all the ipp stuff ripped out (I've never used it, and my understanding is that CUPS provides a much better implementation anyway) especially if it allows us to eradicate apache-13. However., I'm not sure that this extends to the rest of the legacy lp stack. The argument that legacy stuff could simply be dropped off to one side in a legacy repo would be far stronger if we actually had such a repo in place. I regard creating that infrastructure as a necessary prerequisite to any significant pruning of the codebase. (Although I'm not sure it needs a full-blown repo. Tarballs of the source that's ripped out, placed in a well-known location, ought to be adequate.) On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 3:07 PM, Garrett D'Amore <[email protected]> wrote: I'd love to see it go. But I will wait for others to complain first. One idea would be to eject it from the gate and put it into a new repo where it could also be updated if people still want it.
