Created attachment 93630 [details, diff] Net-CUPS-0.41-CUPS_FOO_DEVICE.patch Patch to remove CUPS_ADD_DEVICE and CUPS_DELETE_DEVICE from Net-CUPS
Created attachment 93631 [details] Net-CUPS-0.41-r1.ebuild ebuild to use the patch
Did you send your patch upstream (to the original author of the Net-CUPS module)?
OK, I sent an email to Dave Hageman (listed as the author on cpan).
if he doesn't respond to email, tossing it on rt.cpan.org would be nice (that way other folks with the same problem can find it). wow, listen to us push upstream :)
dhageman responded, said he will be releasing an updated version sometime next week. btw, are we (the non-@gentoo.org bugreporters) generally expected to contact upstream? I thought that generally users are supposed to report on gentoo bugzilla, and then the gentoo devs inform upstream if it's relevant. Or does the perl herd work differently?
Depends, actually. In this case, I think ian asked if you would since you wrote the patch (credit where credit is due and all that jazz).
In cvs (0.41-r1)
