Public bug reported: I don't think the system-config-printer-gnome split makes sense any more and it would be nice to get this package closer in sync with Debian. In other words, let's drop system-config-printer-gnome and move most of its contents back to system-config-printer but a few files will end up in system-config-printer-common.
The last explicit merge was almost a decade ago: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/0.7.70-1ubuntu1 ) The split was done in 2008 for KDE's benefit: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/0.7.78+svn1799-0ubuntu2 - system-config-printer-kde no longer exists (it appears to have been part of the kdeadmin source package which was removed a few years ago) - Kubuntu only ships system-config-printer-udev so they aren't affected now http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/daily-live/current/zesty-desktop-amd64.manifest - Ubuntu GNOME does not need the files shipped in system-config-printer since GNOME has its own integrated Printers Settings panel. https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/system-config-printer/filelist In Ubuntu 16.10 I attempted to follow Debian's gnome-control-center packaging and depend on system-config-printer-common only, but it broke the Printers panel since Ubuntu's packaging moved the dbus service to the system-config-printer-gnome package (See bug 1496860 & bug 1623150 & bug 1637466 ). ** Affects: ubuntu-gnome Importance: Wishlist Status: Triaged ** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Tags: zesty ** Also affects: ubuntu-gnome Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1643129 Title: Drop system-config-printer-gnome package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1643129/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
