Since hplip depends on cups (>=net-print/cups-1.2), it can't be used with any other printing system (e.g. net-print/lprng). Cups was not a dependency of net-print/hpijs. If the hpijs package is going to be replaced/subsumed by hplip, then hplip needs to play nicely with non-cups print subsystems. If hplip is legitimately dependent on cups to build, is it possible to create a package that contains the required cups libraries but doesn't block lprng? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge lprng 2. emerge hplip
You need to ask upstream to make it work with something else than cups, not here. <snip> Question: Can HPLIP be used in CUPS? Answer: Yes, HPLIP requires CUPS. </snip> http://hplip.sourceforge.net/faqs.html
Created attachment 131805 [details, diff] hplip-2.7.7-r2.ebuild.diff After wading through the configure stuff for quite a while, this should give you hpijs-only install with USE=minimal, without cups dependency. If it breaks, don't complain. :P
Reopen.
Created attachment 131806 [details, diff] hplip-2.7.7-r2.ebuild.diff USE=parport has no effect with hpijs-only-build, no need for the kernel check there either.
Your ebuild with USE=minimal has, so far, been working great. Thank you.
Fixed in hplip-2.7.9. I have changed quite a few things compared to the previous ebuild and what Jakub Proposed, so please test and reopen if it doesn't work. Thanks to both of you. Denis.
Well, this is still wrong: - openssl is only needed with USE=snmp - xsane stuff is actually checked by configure script, it can't be RDEPEND
thanks, done in the latest ebuild.
(In reply to comment #7) > - xsane stuff is actually checked by configure script, it can't be RDEPEND Wrong. Fixed again. Denis.
