Blueprint changed by Martin Pitt: Whiteboard changed to:
heno 2008-05-28: Milestoning for Intrepid Alpha 2 as it's well under way, though it will need a formal review. pitti 2008-05-29: Concept and design looks convincing and sound to me. However, the implementation section is still very thin. In particular, I am interested in seeing which changes need to be made to cups itself to provide full backwards compatibility with previous releases (i. e. receiving PostScript), while also accepting PDF as input format without converting it back and forth again. With this, the client-side parts of the specs can be implemented independently and do not block each other. We also need to ensure that third-party/legacy applications which only emit PS will continue to work forever. Please add some details of the cups changes to the implementation section and point out the backwards compatibility in the 'migration' section. Thanks! tkamppeter 2008-05-31: Details added. pitti 2008-06-02: It still does not explain what changes we need to make in cups? AFAIK it still uses PostScript internally in the current version? -- PDF instead of PostScript as standard print job transfer format https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/pdf-as-standard-print-job-format -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
