Description Thomas Stein 2006-06-01 02:30:55 UTC

Hello.

The foomatic ebuilds in portage are rather old. There are many updates in the current foomatic-db  and foomatic-filters and so on. It would be nice to have updated ebuilds for the foomatic stuff.

Yeah, I could use some help there, do we need only a bump for the ppds?

Or does -filters and engine need to be bumped too?

irc #gentoo-printing btw :)

I added a new version hard masked for now. Have fun trying it out :)
Please tell me how it works and if I need to bump the other packages, too

Hello Stefan.

Foomatic-db-20060601 works great on my amd64 machine with cups-1.2.1. And yes updated foomatic-filters and foomatic-db-engine would be nice to. Thanks so far.

ok, I had a closer a look at the foomatic mess, and I bumped all the versions today, I also split up foomatic-db:

foomatic-db: Printer information files for foomatic-db-engine to generate ppds
foomatic-db-ppds: linuxprinting.org PPD files for postscript printers
foomatic-filters-ppds: linuxprinting.org PPD files for non-postscript printers

So you should only need one of the 3 now and also you can unmerge foomatic-filters, foomatic-db-engine or both, depending on which you select form the obove.
Also do you think foomaticdb should be a default use? I think it should not be, because no one needs foomatic db xml files for printing.
So, what do you think? Any DEPs I changed wrongly or messed up, anything you would like to change?
