Description genbug 2006-01-12 09:23:24 UTC
new rc2 is out , req ebuild to portage.

clumbsy hack of rc1 ebuild and as-needed.patch would seem to be sufficient at least to get a clean compilation.

Thx.

excuse me, where do you get the new tarball from?

Renaming is not everything in this case

let us wait a bit till it is really out.

Maybe I am jumping the gun on this then . I read somewhere that it was out and not finding it in portage just hacked the ebuild. Substituting rc2 for rc1 in the home URL finds the tarball and builds it .

Still some issues but a lot closer to something that works with gimp.

It's frustrating having to wait since there are some very good drivers hiding in there and it must be about 4 years the 4.2 series release of gimp-print.

As it appears that it is not released officially yet , I guess you're right in wanting to hold off a bit.

Thanks for pointing that out.

well, can you please post the exact url where you got the tarball from?
tarball is tarball ...

I could not find it, that is why I closed it.

Here's how I modded the ebuild. How that is translated into tarball is ... by emerge you will understand better than my guessing.

It's really out now, as of the 21st.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1537

I've just tried it out (though I didn't bother with the as-needed patch) and it works great. Finally I can actually print!! I'd tried the CVS version before but it refused to work with CUPS at all.

Shouldn't we rename this to gutenprint now? And change the category to net-print while we're at it?

In case anyone is wondering like I was, disabling the nls USE flag prevents the translated PPDs from being generated so there's no need for an extra USE flag.
Comment 6 Thomas Bettler 2006-04-24 11:33:18 UTC
Maybe gimp-print / gutenprint should be moved to net-print at the same time as it will be renamed to the new name, since it's rather a printer driver.
