* depends on foomatic-filters when a driver installs:
share/foomatic/db/source/.../*.ppd{,.gz}
* depends on foomatic-db-engine when a driver installs:
share/foomatic/db/source/.../*.xml
foomatic-db-engine now depends on foomatic-db (which itself depends on
nothing anymore).
This will ensure all the needed packages are installed for complete
foomatic-* use.
Some packages install both pre-created ppd and xml files, so theorically
it wouldn't need to depend on foomatic-db-engine, but we still do it
because we may want to regen the ppd file.
It's the best compromise I could come up with.
Note that this is only a build_depends, if people don't use polkit, this
won't change anything, but it they do then the support files are there.
ok jasper@ robert@
* no need to depend on foomatic-filters because hpcups uses its own cups
raster and hpijs uses the bundled foomatic-rip-hplip.
* move foomatic-rip-hplip into the -hplip subpackage because it is only
used there.
Bump and add conflict marker accordingly.
Refer to the project homepage for the complete changelog.
This port now comes into 5 subpackages (ala Fedora):
- main: complete hplip functionnalities
- hpijs: deprecated hpijs printer driver
- hpcups: new-gen printer driver
- libs: libraries and helpers used by other subpackages
- gui: graphical tools (systray applet...)
It seems this version works a least as good as the previous one we had
in-tree. I could use some feedbacks for the fancier stuffs that hplip
provides (besides regular printing using hpcups and/or hpijs), like
printer communication, ink levels... because I have no hp equipment, but
at least, there was no regression reported.
(some features are Linux-only and are expected not to work)
Tested by several, thanks!
This port contains 3 subpackages:
* hplip
HPLIP is an HP developed solution for printing, scanning, and faxing
with HP inkjet and laser based printers in Unix.
The HPLIP project provides printing support for 1,248 printer models,
including Deskjet, Officejet, Photosmart, PSC (Print Scan Copy),
Business Inkjet, LaserJet, Edgeline MFP, and LaserJet MFP.
* hpijs (supersed print/hpijs)
The Hewlett-Packard Co. Linux Inkjet Driver Project is an add-on to the
GNU Ghostscript application. This driver is based on the Hewlett Packard
Appliance APDK for deskjet printers.
* hplip-docs
Documentation for HPLIP in HTML format.
