Package: lprng
Version: 3.8.B-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi. I'm actually reporting for my sandbox machine which runs aptosid,
so sid downstream (formerly Sidux). It's up to date. I've recently
run into updates that have successively blown away about four manual
installs of lprng. "This's maddening! Why doesn't it work today,
dammit?!?" Ah, CUPS updates blew away lpr*. !@#$
I would really appreciate it if you would institute an
/etc/default/print which would specify "this system's" preferred
printing system, and serve as a "Dammit! don't fsck with it!" for all
other programs. PLEASE!!!
/etc/default/print:
# We prefer this daemon on this box! Please choose, and damn
# the installer/packager that fscks with this. Possible
# values are cups, lpr, lprng, and if empty, CUPS, and damn you to
# ...
#
DAEMON=lprng
Please? This shit's been going on for too damned long. I've got my
printer's .ppd, and a five or so line long printcap. I don't want or need
cups, so why does it continue to force itself upon my machines,
blowing away lprng?!? Grr. RAPE!
This should be easy. Fwd: this to debian.devel.mentors; they should
see this needs doing. Damnit. :-) Bon chance.
