I mean: what's the point of socket activation, if the daemon is automatically re-spawned anyway? A Debian-specific patch could probably make sense, otherwise countless users who want socket activation will need to create their (modified) version of cups.service to be placed into /etc/systemd/system/ Moreover, I think that the documentation in README.Debian.gz is no longer accurate, as it talks about SystemdIdleExit, which is no longer supported, and, above all, it says nothing about this Restart=no directive, which is now needed in order to enable socket activation... I am reopening the bug report, since, at the very least, copying /usr/share/doc/cups-daemon/examples/cups-socket.localhost.conf into /etc/systemd/system/cups.socket.d/ is no longer enough to enable socket activation. Hence the documentation is outdated, as I said. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thanks for your time and patience! -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
