[SOLVED] cups 1.5.0 slackbuild

zasavage · 01-16-2012, 07:59 AM

Is there a slackbuild for cups 1.5.0 out there ? For slackware 13.37 64

Ok

I am lazy today ...

Since cups ships with the core Slackware OS, there likely won't be a 3rd party SlackBuild. You could modify the one in the 13.37 source tree and see if that works for you. Understand the latter isn't very lazy, but maybe motivation will come later in the day :-)

Oops, nevermind.... Saw something completely different. My fault!

I just modified the cups.SlackBuild that's on the SlackWare64 DVD under a/source and changed the version to 1.5.0 from 1.4.6. I put the source bz2 file, the new slackbuild script and the slack-desc file in a subdirectory and ran cups.SlackBuild. I then uninstalled the 1.4.6 package and install the new 1.5.0 package. I just printed out a LibreOffice spreadsheet without issue.

I got this while building cups 1.5.0 on Slackware-Current (32 bit):

I see I forgot to add the patch files. I'll try to rebuild again.

update:

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like the patches are just for the versions < 1.5.0

from the cups page for usb-backend-both-usblp-and-libusb.dpatch.gz: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3357:

12:03 Jan 12, 2012 Sorry, we have decided this issue will not be addressed in a CUPS release.

and the last update was for 1.4.3

For the usb-backend-both-usblp-and-libusb.dpatch.gz:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug...d=553834<br />

it looks like it was fixed as well.

I use a network printer and it seems to work fine without the patches. Your millage may differ. :-)

+1, I just took original slackbuild script, changed version to 1.5.0 and removed this lines:

Code:

# Fix the USB backend to use either usblp or libusb:
zcat $CWD/usb-backend-both-usblp-and-libusb.dpatch.gz | patch -p1 --verbose || exit 1

# Fix locking to avoid crashes with OpenSSL:
zcat $CWD/cups.fix_broken_locking.diff.gz | patch -p1 --verbose || exit 1

which are applying patches, which I believe already incorporated in 1.5.0
