Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : lpr-via-http
  Version         : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Mathieu Roy <yeupou@gnu.org>
* URL or Web page : https://gna.org/projects/lpr-via-http/
* License         : GPL
  Description     : a web frontend for lpr queue monitoring and
                    management.


Long Description:
-----------------
                   
"LPR via HTTP" purpose is to provide a web frontend for lpr queue
monitoring and management. 
 
The point is to provide to users a simple and centralized way to
monitor an lp (printer) queue information of a distant host and
eventually to remove jobs. 

Acknowledgment: It is probably best to use desktop environment
application (provided by KDE, or GNOME). But currently (February
2005), it is not easy to get these tools to work correctly, especially
with a distant lpr server. 
 
LPR via HTTP depends on a web server with Perl support (mod_perl
advised) and LPRng (not tested with the old LPR). It assumes that the
local web server user can run lpq and lprm commands. If you want a
more subtile access control policy, you are welcome to implement it;
contact us to get access to the CVS. Note also that is is
internationalized via gettext, so even if only French and English
version are currently shipped, new translations could be easily
included; do not hesitate to submit translations, there are not so
many strings to translate.

How does it looks like? By default, like it is shown on the following
screenshot: http://download.gna.org/lpr-via-http/screenshot200502.png  
But it is quite easy to modify the CSS file. 
 

Packaging:
----------

A Debian package is already provided. It surely could be improved. As
upstream author, while I have no further development plan for this
project (which already perfectly fill my needs), I'll be there to
collaborate with whoever would like to be it's debian
maintainer. Also, I dont expect that package to be really time
consuming for a debian maintainer.



Regards,

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 293572
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
293572@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
