Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Current:

> * The USB backend no longer supports the usb:/dev/foo
>   format on systems that support device ID queries since 1.2.1-1.
>   Because Linux supports device ID queries, you have to
>   replace your printer configuration uses usb:/dev/foo style
>   with device ID style. usb backend will show device IDs of
>   active USB printers.
> * Port/Listen and Browsing parameters are merged again to
>   /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. Therefore debconf configuration interface
>   for them is removed. For your information, CUPS Web interface
>   (http://localhost:631) provides a server configuration interface.

Suggested improvement:

> * The USB backend no longer allows 'usb:/dev/foo' syntax in
>   its configuration under Linux. [1] You'll have to replace it
>   with the new device ID syntax as follows: [2]. Use 'lsusb' to
>   see what device IDs your printers have. [3]
> * The 'Port'/'Listen' parameters have again been merged into
>   the 'Browsing' configuration parameter. Therefore the accompanying
>   debconf configuration interface has been removed. Consider using
>   CUPS' web interface for configuration tasks. [4]

[1] I'd omit "since 1.2.1-1", because the user will only see the NEWS
    entries that are relevant to his upgrade path anyway. Say if he
    updates from 1.2.1-2 to 1.2.1-3 then he won't see the entry twice
    but if she updates from 1.2.1-1 then she will see it.
[2] Unfortunately a moderately quick search didn't tell me how
    USB "device ID"s look like or where they are documented. If there
    isn't any good example on how device IDs look like then saying
    "You'll have to replace it with the new device ID syntax documented
     at [file|http://some.place]documentation.html
[3] I unfortunately didn't understand the phrase "usb backend will show
    device IDs of active USB printers." at all. What do you mean by the
    usb backend"? Maybe 'lsusb'?
[4] As said in [1] when a user will be updating the cupsys package, she
    will see all the NEWS items that apply to the version jump. Thus she
    will be seing the notice, that Port listen have been introduced and
    later a notice that they have been abolished again.
    In order to make updating from sarge to etch less confusing I'd
    suggest to remove the respective NEWS regarding the
    Port/Listen <-> Browsing items before the next stable release.

Thanks,
*t

Closes: 313536 376580 426519 469853
Changes: 
 cupsys (1.3.6-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: Configure with default log file permissions 0640.
     (Closes: #469853)
   * debian/control: Mention "lpr" in the description of -bsd, for easier
     apt-cache search catching. (Closes: #426519)
   * Remove debian/NEWS, there's nothing new since Etch's release.
     (Closes: #376580)
   * Add debian/patches/pbmprint.dpatch: Fix printing of PBM files, thanks to
     Eugeniy Meshcheryakov! (Closes: #313536)
   * debian/cupsys.preinst: Only chown /var/run/cups if it exists. (LP #156634)
   * Move scripting examples from cupsys to libcupsys2-dev. No need to install
     those 1.3 MB by default on every system, this is much more developer
     oriented. Mention this in the package description.
   * debian/rules: Explicitly build with -fno-stack-protector on arm and armel,
     since the compiler produces segfaulting binaries. Works around #469517.
   * search_mime_files_in_usr_share.dpatch: Do not fatally fail if
     DataDir/mime does not exist. This both makes much more sense (since
     /etc/cups is the canonical dir which must exist, and /usr/share/cups/mime
     is optional), and also unbreaks the test suite (which does not create this
     directory by default).
   * pidfile.dpatch: Specify PidFile in temporary directory in the self test's
     cupsd.conf.
   * debian/rules clean: Remove test suite HTML reports.
   * Add testsuite-exit-code.dpatch: Exit with nonzero if the test suite fails,
     so that it is easier to integrate into package building.
   * pdftops-cups-1.4.dpatch: Update pdftops location in test suite, too, so
     that it does not fail the PDF printing test. (Forwarded to STR #2759)
   * debian/rules: Run test suite on build. This will fail the build if any
     tests fail, so that problems on particular platforms will be caught
     easily.
   * debian/control: Add alternative (build-)depends to heimdal-dev.
   * debian/rules, debian/cupsys.postinst: Call update-rc.d to not install stop
     symlinks for runlevels 0 and 6, since they just needlessly slow down
     shutdown. Remove the obsolete kill symlinks on upgrade. Patch adopted from
     the Ubuntu branch, but without using the Ubuntu-only 'multiuser' mode of
     update-rc.d.
   * Add debian/local/apparmor-profile: AppArmor profile (taken from Ubuntu
     branch). Install it in debian/rules if package is built on Ubuntu (tested
     with lsb_release -is). Reload AppArmor in debian/cupsys.postinst if both
     the cupsys profile and AppArmor itself are present.
   * Add debian/patches/ubuntu-disable-browsing.dpatch: Disable Browsing by
     default when building on Ubuntu.
   * Add debian/patches/ubuntu-default-error-policy-retry-job.dpatch: Set
     default job error policy to "Retry", since it is less confusing and a
     better default on desktop machines. This is only applied when building on
     Ubuntu.
   * debian/control: Add Vcs-{Svn,Browser} fields.
