It's a very neat tool and would be much appreciated, if anyone is looking for a project. I'd be happy to help out with testing or some ebuild writing, but I'm just looking to get into this, so I'd need some guidance. 0.7.27 is currently in portage, but is hard-masked with the message 'masked until it gets some testing' from late 2006. 0.7.27 doesn't build however, due to an unrecognised Category listed in redhat-system-config-printer.desktop presumably due to this being pulled from a Fedora rpm.
Created attachment 170613 [details] system-config-printer-1.0.9 ebuild Not all that much has changed from the older version. Taking it from the original tarball now, rather than the RPM. Requires dev-python/pycups-1.9.27 (will upload an ebuild for shortly) and dev-python/notify-python. Compiles and appears to work normally on my system. If someone else was to have a play as well, that would be appreciated.

Created attachment 172629 [details] Another new Ebuild based on the 1.0.10 release. for mie it works without any problems. feel free to test it.
Greetings! The ebuild needs an app-text/xmlto, a dev-python/python-dbus and a dev-python/gnome-python dependency. There might me more than that... Apart from that, it builds on amd64. Thanks!

Thanks! > I've updated to 1.0.10, and added app-text/xmlto and dev-python/gnome-python but I don't find an ebuild for dev-python/python-dbus, could you point me towards the bug for it? I'll mark it as a dependency for this bug report and add it to the ebuild before I upload the new one. 1.0.10 builds nicely on amd64, most of the config bits work well, the applet requires python-dbus though.
Created attachment 173716 [details] New ebuild. Ah, dbus-python not python-dbus. Still can't get the applet running, possibly needs something else. I'll take a look at it later if noone else has in between.
http://cyberelk.net/tim/data/system-config-printer/1.1 1.1.1 was released. Any chance for updated (even hard masked) version?

Created attachment 178152 [details] Ebuild for system-config-printer 1.1.1
Just to note: I've removed the dependency to usermode in the above ebuild as it doesn't seem to be necessary, system-config-printer works just fine without it and other distributions are also not depending on it (openSUSE, Ubuntu, etc...)
btw: would be really good to have this in. All the other distributions are now using it instead of gnome-cups-manager, which is practically unmaintained nowadays. Even openSUSE - which originally developed gnome-cups-manager - has now switched to system-config-printer
I've been trying to talk the KDE guys into taking this over because it seems the next KDE version will make this a core part of its printing infrastructure. Perhaps they could help out with this.
That seems like an excellent path to take. My attempt at this has really just been a play around as an introduction to ebuilds, it's by no means particularly good or functional. Getting the KDE guys to take this one on would be great.

Created attachment 179318 [details] system-config-printer-1.1.2.ebuild This is a revision bump, but this one now also uses the correct split gnome-python dependencies instead of the whole metapackage. Should make it a bit more "lightweight" on the dependency side. Besides that I still think this bug should also be of vital interest to the GNOME herd. system-config-printer is now the de facto standard graphical printer manager on all major GNOME-based distributions/ desktops. Gentoo / GNOME is still depending on GNOME Cups Manager which is outdated and not developed anymore.
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=blob;f=app-admin/system-config-printer/system-config-printer-1.1.2.ebuild Could you please please drop by at #gentoo-kde and talk with reavertm so we dont duplicate work?
Yeah, to have it done asap I recommend catching me at #gentoo-kde as scarabeus said. I have my newest system-config-printer and pycups ebuilds hosted there at kde-testing overlay, they are in alpha/beta shape really and suggestions (especially related to DEPEND/RDEPEND) are appreciated. I would as well need someone to give me hints for app-misc/hal-cups-utils runtime python deps (apparently looking up source code..) - it's new ebuild. kde-testing is there - http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git
I borrowed deps section (with my nls modification) from system-config-printer ebuild attached here. Links are in #20 and #21
Updated deps: net-print/cups[dbus] dev-libs/libxml2[python] removed gnome-keyring-python from deps - is this *really* needed? seems to work without it Please test app-admin/system-config-printer and dev-python/pycups from kde-testing overlay - those versions are portage candidates (though they're not showstoppers for KDE 4.2.0 in portage)
(In reply to comment #23) > removed gnome-keyring-python from deps - is this *really* needed? seems to work > without it Well it is used, look in jobviewer.py, though it seems to be optional try: import gnomekeyring USE_KEYRING=True except ImportError: USE_KEYRING=False
Good candidate for optional RDEPEND, ebuild updated.
I am trying to get this to build using the ebuilds in the kde-testing overlay and it is failling like this: make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-admin/system-config-printer-1.1.3/work/system-config-printer-1.1.3' xmlto man -o man man/system-config-printer.xml xmlto: input does not validate (status 3) /var/tmp/portage/app-admin/system-config-printer-1.1.3/work/system-config-printer-1.1.3/man/system-config-printer.xml:3: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"> ^ warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" validity error : Could not load the external subset "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" Document /var/tmp/portage/app-admin/system-config-printer-1.1.3/work/system-config-printer-1.1.3/man/system-config-printer.xml does not validate make[1]: *** [man/system-config-printer.1] Error 3

So far I can see one common denominator - you all run stable arch. I suspected libxml2 (as far as goes for XML validation). Anyway libxml2 used to have Relax-NG validator far from being perfect but I cannot reproduce the problem on my stable arch as well so it's not libxml2 issue (xmlto even doesn't link to it)... I'm out for ideas for now.
I found the solution. xmlto tries to validate the XML file against /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2/docbookx.dtd which is provided by the docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r6 package (which I didn't have installed). Installing that fixed the problem for me.
That fixed it for me too. docbook-xml-dtd is slotted and I had it installed for the 4.2 and 4.4 slots. So this need to be dependent on docbook-xml-dtd:4.1 which is not in the DEPEND list of the ebuild.
I have just docbook-xml-dtd:4.2 installed (4.2-r1 in my stable system and 4.2-r2 in ~amad64 chroot) - still it manages to download required docbook and verify agains it. It's certainly some network (proxy?) issue on your side. Still building should not need active network connection so I'm adding :4.1 as build time dependency as requested.
I found that after uninstalling docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 I still had orphaned rewriteURI definitions and other lines for 4.1.2 in my /etc/xml/docbook. If I understand this correctly, xmlto/xmllint uses this file to relsolve URLs to local files (which of course should exist). I think this got xmllint confused and caused validation to fail. Removing all lines for 4.1.2 from /etc/xml/docbook fixes the problem. The XML file now validates correctly even without docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 installed, although it takes a bit longer than with. Apparently I once had 4.1.2 installed already, perhaps it got removed by a depclean. Hope this helps clarifying this issue a bit.
I guess this is worth mentioning in pkg_setup, thanks!
Just wanted to point out that 1.1.6 has been released, which drops the libgnome-python dependency and therefore should considerably reduce the dependency load, especially for non-GNOME-systems. Check the upstream bug for reference: https://fedorahosted.org/system-config-printer/ticket/147
Removed from tree.
