As in my previous answer, I will ship an extra foomatic-database-gimpprint package which can evolve independent from the main database (foomatic-database). The problem with this is that the foomatic data is intimately tied to the library version (in the future, hopefully we won't even need to rev the library to rev the printer data, but we'll see). So if somebody upgrades libgimpprint, they must be able to upgrade the foomatic database simultaneously. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print/stp -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
