FW: [Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#494659: Upstream version 2.8.6 must not be distributed (use 2.8.6b or 2.8.7 instead)



Release Team,

We have had a request from upstream not to distribute hplip 2.8.6 and upstream have proposed 2.8.6b as an alternative.

I have had a look at the diff and there are some changes, but no change in functionality. 

I propose this is sufficient grounds for a freeze exception, but is an unusual case.

What do the release team think?

Mark

Subject: [Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#494659: Upstream version 2.8.6 must not be distributed (use 2.8.6b or 2.8.7 instead)

Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.6-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I just noted on the hp page

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/release_notes.html

that release 2.8.6 was accidential, quote:

"HPLIP 2.8.6 prematurely released code that was not intended for
release. Release 2.8.6b replaces 2.8.6 and removes that code. There is
no change in intended functionality as described in the release notes.
We do not recommend using release 2.8.6 and ask that release 2.8.6 not
be redistributed."

There is no hint in the changelog that you actually use 2.8.6b, so I think
it is important (for lenny) to replace upstream by 2.8.6b or 2.8.7.

Thanks,

Stephan

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to  
successfully compile HPLIP.                                                                                                                                                         
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper           
dependencies installed to successfully run.                                                                                                                                         
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
