(new) foomatic-db-compressed-ppds_20110127-1_all.deb optional text OpenPrinting printer support - Compressed PPDs derived from the database Foomatic is a printing system designed to make it easier to set up common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems). It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files sent to the printer. . This package contains all PPD files which can be generated from the Foomatic database as one small compressed archive. This reduces the disk space consumption compared to the Foomatic XML database vastly and in addition makes listing of all available PPDs and extracting the needed PPD much faster than using the Foomatic XML database. foomatic-db_20110127-1.debian.tar.gz to main/f/foomatic-db/foomatic-db_20110127-1.debian.tar.gz foomatic-db_20110127-1.dsc to main/f/foomatic-db/foomatic-db_20110127-1.dsc foomatic-db_20110127-1_all.deb to main/f/foomatic-db/foomatic-db_20110127-1_all.deb foomatic-db_20110127.orig.tar.gz to main/f/foomatic-db/foomatic-db_20110127.orig.tar.gz openprinting-ppds-extra_20110127-1_all.deb to main/f/foomatic-db/openprinting-ppds-extra_20110127-1_all.deb openprinting-ppds_20110127-1_all.deb to main/f/foomatic-db/openprinting-ppds_20110127-1_all.deb Changes: foomatic-db (20110127-1) experimental; urgency=low . * New 20110127 upstream release . * Merge back from Ubuntu natty: [ Till Kamppeter ] - Merged openprinting-ppds and openprinting-ppds-extra. - Introduced new binary package foomatic-db-compressed-ppds, a 600K compressed archive of all Foomatic-generated PPDs, replacing 18M of Foomatic XML data. - Suggest also printer drivers which are in Ubuntu Universe, let foomatic-db-compressed-ppds require CUPS, as the compressed archive is not of much use without CUPS. [ Didier Raboud ] - Use the external pyppd. . [ Didier Raboud ] * Add line-breaks to fields in debian/control for better change- following. * debian/rules: Don't fail on non-applicable fixes. * Update package relationships. * Get rid of pre-stable versioned conflicts against hp-ppd. * Document the transitional "Provides" * Make -compressed-ppds provide foomatic-db too. * Document foomatic-filters. * Add misc:Depends to -extra. * Add python Depends to packages containing pyppd archives. * Bump Standards to 3.9.1 without changes needed. * Use my @d.o address. . foomatic-db (20101217-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low . * debian/control: Versioned conflict of openprinting-ppds-extra with openprinting-ppds. Otherwise openprinting-ppds-extra is not installable. . foomatic-db (20101217-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low . * New upstream release - Added new PostScript printers and PPDs from Epson and Brother. - Added database entries for the PPDs of Epson's Japanese market printers. - Corrected the translation lines of Lexmark's PostScript PPDs to comply with the specs. - Renamed printers from Epson and Sharp so that their names match the names in the manufacturer-supplied PPD files. - Forced the "eplaser" and "eplaser-jp" drivers to feed Ghostscript only with PostScript input as these drivers have problems with PDF. - Added documentation for job parameter entities in Foomatic PPD files to the README file. - Fixed default PageSize choice of "necp2xX.upp" driver. . foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/ppd.py: Fixed PPD file list generated by the compressed PPD file archive for the PostScript PPDs. The artificial device IDs generated for PPDs without *1284DeviceID: entry lead to wrong assumptions when system-config-printer selects the driver for a detected printer (LP: #653814). . foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/: Updated to pyppd 0.4.9, to suppress runtime error tracebacks by putting a "try: ... except ...: pass" construct around the main function call. This avoids Apport pop-ups when the execution of the self-extracting compressed PPD file archives gets stopped by the calling process (LP: #618017). . foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/ppd.py, debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/pyppd-ppdfile.in: Let the compressed PPD archives not contain duplicate PPD URIs, even if the lines reference the same PPD. Most printer setup tools cannot cope with duplicate PPD URIs. . foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low . * New upstream release - Update of all Ricoh and OEM PPD files by Ricoh, to introduce CMD: fields in the PPD's device IDs so that printer setup tools can select the PPDs by page description language (PCL or PostScript). . foomatic-db (20100910-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low . * New upstream release - Renamed the printers Toshiba GL-1010 and GL-1020 so that their names match the names in the manufacturer-supplied PPD files. . foomatic-db (20100906-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low . * New upstream release - Added Brother MFC-7840N/W printers (LP: #560518). - Added PCL driver support for all Sharp printers which were listed as only working via PostScript. For these printers PostScript is also an optional add-on and therefore one should be able to also set them up in PCL mode. The PCL mode will also be the recommended driver to assure that automatic setup of the printer works also if it has no PostScript module (LP: #378475). * debian/patches/hl-2170w-pcl5e.patch: Removed patch with upstream fixes. . foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu7) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/patches/hl-2170w-pcl5e.patch: Changed drivers for the Brother HL-2170W, the printer works only in the PCL-5e mode, not with PCL-XL (LP: #570027). * debian/control, debian/rules, debian/foomatic-db-compressed-ppds.postinst: Introduced the binary package foomatic-db-compressed-ppds. This package contains all PPDs which can be generated from the Foomatic XML database in one compressed pyppd archive. This takes much less disk space than the XML database (600 kB vs. 18 MB) and access (listing all PPDs, extracting the needed PPD) is also significantly faster. . foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu6) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/control, debian/rules, debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.install, debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.postinst, debian/openprinting-ppds.install: Merged the binary packages openprinting-ppds and openprinting-ppds-extra. The splitting was formerly introduced to save space on the Ubuntu Desktop CD. The new PPD compression saves much more space and allows to put the PPDs from openprinting-ppds-extra back onto the CD. So now the splitting does nothing more than making maintenance of this package more complicated. . foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu5) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/control: Added build and runtime dependencies for the PPD archiving and extracting. * debian/rules: Let build process error out if PPD archiving errors out. . foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/ppd.py: The PPD compressor did not parse the PPD correctly and confused ShortNickName and NickName, ending up with the PPD listing showing the ShortNickName entries and therefore being incompatible with the old uncompressed PPDs. * debian/foomatic-db.links, debian/foomatic-db.dirs: Removed, the directory /usr/share/ppd/openprinting and the link to /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD are not needed any more as there are no physical PPD files in the package. . foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/local/pyppd/, debian/rules, debian/control: Compressed all physical PPD files of the openprinting-ppds and openprinting-ppds-extra packages into archive files reducing the disk space occupation by a factor of 10, freeing several tens of megabytes on the Ubuntu Desktop CDs (or on any live CD based on Debian or a derivative distribution). The archives are self- extracting and located in /usr/lib/cups/driver/, so that CUPS automatically extracts the PPD files. Thank you very much to Vitor Baptista who developed this great PPD compressor in the Google Summer of Code 2010. * debian/openprinting-ppds.postinst, debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.postinst: Updated auto updater for the PPDs of the already existing print queues to work with the new PPD archives. . foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low . * debian/openprinting-ppds.install, debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.install: Corrected paths: PPDs should be in /usr/share/ppd/openprinting/, not in /usr/share/ppd/postscript/. Once, these PPDs come from OpenPrinting and there could be packages with PostScript PPDs from other sources, and second, some of the PPDs provided by the openprinting-ppds-extra package are PCL-XL PPDs. * debian/dirs: Letting a package create the empty directory /usr/share does not make sense, as every package has files in /usr/share/doc. Removed. * debian/foomatic-db.dirs: Let the foomatic-db package create the directory /usr/share/ppd/openprinting, as foomatic-db provides a link to it. . foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low . * New upstream release - Correction in ChangeLog
