Summary: Review Request: gutenprint: Printer Drivers Package https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199108 ------- Additional Comments From moe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-08-08 00:38 EST ------- /usr/share/gutenprint/doc should be /usr/share/doc/gutenprint, I believe. ========= from %configure using your spec: Build genppd statically: no ***WARNING: Use of --disable-static-genppd or --disable-static when building CUPS is very dangerous. The build may fail when building the PPD files, or may *SILENTLY* build incorrect PPD files or cause other problems. Please review the README and release notes carefully! ./configure --help --enable-static-genppd build a statically-linked cups-genppd and rastertogutenprint. WARNING: Please read the README and NEWS (release notes) CAREFULLY before disabling this! [(automatic)] >From NEWS, section about static: 7) Due to the implementation of CUPS, it is necessary on some systems to link the programs associated with the CUPS driver (in particular, cups-genppd and rastertogutenprint) statically against the Gutenprint library. Please see bugs 865253 and 865265 for full details. This fix works correctly unless --disable-static (to disable building static libraries) is passed on the command line. Normally, only people packaging up Gutenprint for distribution use this option. If you wish to use this option, please read item (6) in Exceptions and Workarounds *carefully* for a full description of the problem along with suggested methods of procedure. As far as I can tell, "Exceptions and Workarounds" ends at item 5. ;) In another place, which I think may be a fix for the above, is to build it, install it, and rebuild it, which mock may not be accoustomed to. I'm not sure where the built .a files should be if it's compiled without --disable-static (typically in -devel). ========= >From the README: NOTES TO PACKAGERS: * We recommend that your installation package run cups-genppdupdate.5.0 and restart CUPS as part of the installation process. CUPS is being restarted, cups-genppdupdate.5.0 isn't being run in %post ========= You may want to break out the languages into other sub-packages. /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0 is 124 megs, but is just 7.3 megs times 17 languages. The main gutenprint package size could be greatly reduced. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
