1 Hi everyone,
2
3 while I was looking at various printing bugs, I came across the package net-
4 print/foomatic-filters-ppds. It claims to provide the non-ps-printer ppd's for
5 foomatic, but the last version is from 2008.
6
7 * foomatic-db (current) contains the same printers "unprocessed"
8 * there is no upstream tarball for foomatic-filters-ppds
9 * I cannot find any documentation how to update one from the other
10 * Debian only has a "metapackage" for foomatic-filters-ppds, which leads to an
11 installation of foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine (both current)
12
13 Does anyone of you know what is going on here?
14 * is foomatic-filters-ppds obsoleted by "foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine"?
15 * or should we make an updated tarball? how?
16
17 Any advice would be enormously appreciated.

19 Cheers, Andreas
