Hi Martin, thanks for your feedback, Le samedi, 21 juillet 2012 16.41:48, Martin Pitt a écrit : > For the record -- there are no real Debian cups maintainers at the > moment.

I'm aware of that; sad situation. That said, the Printing Team's situation is not vastly better: Jonas maintains ghostprint, Roger maintains gutenprint (orphaned), I'm doing the rest and Till is our Ubuntu gateway guy. So I'm not sure there's much available manpower there either. > It might actually be better to formally orphan the package in Debian > to point this out more clearly.

(Now that Wheezy is frozen, it also makes full sense to upload every Ubuntu package in experimental first.) Now for Wheezy, I can't have a solid enough on the changes introduced after 1.5.3-1. 1.5.3-2 didn't migrate because the mips build failed; I suspect this can be solved by a build on (currently down) ball.debian.org. Till: are there atomic changes done since 1.5.3-1 that would be worth integrating into Wheezy? I'm willing to prepare a 1.5.3-2+wheezy0 that would revert 1.5.3-2 and add the smallest amount of changes towards wheezy if that helps giving Wheezy a better cups. (Keeping in mind that the Release Team will review the diff between 1.5.3-1 and whatever we want in wheezy.) Finally, #640939 should probably be fixed in Wheezy and we should avoid letting #682426 enter Wheezy either. Thanks for reading, OdyX
