Bug 411887 – Please stabilize net-print/cups-1.5.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas K. Hüttel 2012-04-13 19:52:30 UTC]

Tracker that will become a stablerequest. No talking please.

[Comment 1 Andreas K. Hüttel 2012-04-23 22:24:30 UTC]

Arches, please test and stabilize net-print/cups-1.5.2-r3

Target: "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 m68k ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86"


Note 1: "alpha ia86 m68k mips ppc64 s390 sh sparc" have not acted on the keyword request (from 27 January) for cups-1.5 yet, so for them it might be a good idea to first keyword, then wait a bit...

Note 2: You may want to package.use.mask or use.mask the use flag "systemd" if that dependency cannot be fulfilled on your arch.

Probably is not time to stabilize it for all arches, so I guess is a good idea mask it globally.

Meh. Good point. This was such an orderly and well-behaving ebuild until theses systemd guys came along... :| Will take care of it tonight.

Please go for stabilizing net-print/cups-1.5.2-r4 instead, which has been cleansed of all things systemd.

amd64 stable

[Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-05-01 19:31:26 UTC]

[Comment 8 Brent Baude (RETIRED) 2012-05-06 20:34:18 UTC]

ppc done

[Comment 9 Johannes Huber (RETIRED) 2012-05-24 21:35:58 UTC]

x86 stable

Ping. It would be awesome if we could drop cups-1.4.

Ping again.

(CUPS 1.6 will be released soon!)

[Comment 12 Andreas K. Hüttel 2012-07-05 22:19:45 UTC]

... and it probably makes sense to go immediately for cups-1.5.3.

[Comment 13 Andreas K. Hüttel 2012-07-31 08:36:30 UTC]

cups-1.4 has been dropped. 

(This stable request is open for >3 months now, and we're unable to support 3 major versions.)

Ping again. 

After a heated discussion on the dev channel with Mr_Bones about breaking the deptree floppym restored the ebuild on my behalf. 

However, I consider cups-1.4 obsolete and potentially broken and will not support it. Restoring the ebuild is only masking that.

CUPS is a package of only limited size, but provides a fairly central functionality.
