SpliX from Debian merged into Ubuntu



Hi,

I have merged the newest Debian package of SpliX into Ubuntu. Following changes I have done in Ubuntu and I recommend to get them also into the Debian package to be able to use identical (source) packages in Debian and Ubuntu:

- debian/patches/0005-samsung-clp-610-610nd-do-not-work.patch: Removed support for the Samsung CLP-610 and CLP-610ND, these printers do not work with SpliX (Ubuntu bug #898986).

These printers do not work with SpliX and therefore I have removed them from the .drv file. I have done this change also upstream, as SVN rev. 307. So update the upstream code instead of using the patch.

- debian/README.debian: Updated.

Some hints about the packaging and JBIG, not really needed. If you do not take it in Debian, I will discontinue it, too.

- debian/local/apport-hook.py: Apport hook.

You should take it into Debian but like with other printing-related packages wrap a check whether the distro is Ubuntu around the command line to install the hook in debian/rules.


- debian/splix.ppd-updater: Fixed for use with dynamically generated
   PPD file.

The PPD updater in the current Debian package is broken and does not work after the switchover to use the .drv files. It was probably not updated. I have a fixed and tested version in the Ubuntu package. Please use it. Her it is

DRIVER_REGEXP='^drv:///splix-[a-zA-Z0-9]*\.drv/'
GENNICKNAME_REGEXP='s/,(\s*SpliX|)(\s*V\.?|)\s*[\d\.]*$//i'

I am very grateful if you could apply these changes to the Debian package. Thanks in advance.

   Till
