Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.4.8-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu intrepid ubuntu-patch
We applied these changes in Ubuntu and thought you might consider doing the
same:
Sometime due to restart/configuration race condition the PDF-printer (queue) is
not created
We have modified the postinstall so that it no longer restarts cups and
installs a pdf queue and printer.
Patches are attached.
*** /tmp/tmpowFKGE
In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:
* Merge from debian unstable (LP: #310290), remaining changes:
- debian/postinst, debian/prerm: Let PDF print queue being created
automatically when installing the package and being removed
automatically when uninstalling the package.
- debian/postinst: Updated PPD file name to the new one used by the
upstream package (LP: #241701). Updated the name of the CUPS startup
script to "cups".
We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
