[Bug 177075] Re: CUPS 1.3.x lists network interfaces only at startup (regression)
** Attachment added: Proposed debdiff for a Gutsy SRU http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11232402/cupsys-sru-req.debdiff ** Description changed: Binary package hint: cupsys - From CUPS 1.3.x, except at startup, network interfaces are not anymore - polled for changes (appearance and disappearance of a network interface, - and any IP address or mask change). + Problem: + From CUPS 1.3.x, except at startup, network interfaces are not anymore polled for changes (appearance and disappearance of a network interface, and any IP address or mask change). This means that in a CUPS configuration allowing local connection (sharing of local printer on local network), any connection from a local ip coming on an interface that appeared after CUPS startup (in my case a vpn one), is refused (403 error). And as a result, obviously, printer is not shared on the local network related to this interface. The user has to restart cupsd in order to make cups accept connection on these new network interfaces. Until recently this was difficult to see, because there was another problem affecting sharing in gutsy and hardy, that was necessitating a restart of cupsd (the late start of avahi, recently fixed in bug 173470 ). - I have tracked it down and in fact, the problem appeared with revision - 6123 (pre 1.3.0) in cups svn trunk, that was landing a multiplatform - management of poll (use of poll(), epoll(), or kqueue() depending of the - platform). Part of this checkout moved the Mac OS X specific call to - cupsdUpdateSystemMonitor in main.c to a select callback in sysman.c (we - don't care), but in the same time it removed (inadvertantly) in main.c - the set of NetIFUpdate to 1 every minute or so for all other OS (here, - we care ;-) ) + Fix: + I have tracked it down and in fact, the problem appeared with revision 6123 (pre 1.3.0) in cups svn trunk, that was landing a multiplatform management of poll (use of poll(), epoll(), or kqueue() depending of the platform).

[Bug 177075] Re: CUPS 1.3.x lists network interfaces only at startup (regression)
My proposed patch has been committed with some cosmetic changes some minutes ago upstream (so it will be fixed in the future 1.3.6 release) See: upstream revision 7141 svn log -r 7141 http://svn.easysw.com/public/cups/trunk/ svn diff -c 7141 http://svn.easysw.com/public/cups/trunk/ I will upload a debdiff shortly including these cosmetic changes. I do not think it is necessary (it's just a different commentary, an inversion of two consecutive lines, and a different line for a variable declaration, so in fact nothing different) but it will make easier to detect when the patch will be useless in a future version. -- CUPS 1.3.x lists network interfaces only at startup (regression) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
