Bug#244768: [survey] Printing and the future of lprngtool in Debian



Greetings.

You are receiving this email because you have submitted a bug on the Debian
package of lprngtool and I'm the current maintainer of it.

I have been seeking a new maintainer for the lprngtool package for 4 months
without anyone coming forward. I've found upstream to be next to dead. He
occassionally responds to my emails in a non-timely fashion. Upstream hasn't
made a release in years.

I don't have the resources to maintain a Debian-specific fork of lprngtool,
and I think there are other alternatives that make doing this unnecessary.

I'd appreciate feedback from you as to how you would cope if lprngtool was
completely removed from the upcoming Sarge release. One potential starting
point is foomatic. Another is switching to CUPS.

Your feedback will help ensure that I don't make a decision that adversely
affects you.

regards

Andrew
