I did not author this commit but while verifying it I found a page [1] listing the python 3 limitations of hplip. It seems that fax cover pages do not work with python 3. I suppose this was the reason for changing the dependency. I can not check myself as my printer is not able to send a fax. Maybe Fedora just lives with this shortcoming or applies a fix for it.

I was under the (perhaps wrong) impression that fax cover pages feature did not work with reportlab3. However, I do see now that at least relevant files are installed even with reportlab3, it's just that I cannot runtime test. I would be more than happy to remove the REQUIRED_USE for fax.
Since no one really complained with 3.16.11 I think, we may as well give it the benefit of the doubt. What's good enough for Fedora... (I don't see a specific patch for it) Fixed in GIT. Lets see if if anybody complains. Thank you for the patch Andreas. Thanks a lot! |
