Hi,

Thanks for your interesting about CUPS maintainance, I'm very
appreciate.
Now we've SVN repository on Alioth. Currently we've many bugs (by my
laziness and/or difficulty to hack by myself only), so let's solve together!

I wrote a rough proposal to collaborate together. Any comments are
welcome. And please subscribe pkg-cups-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.

- ----------------------------------------
Debian CUPS maintainance project

 * Martin Eric Finc
 * Jeff Licquia
 * Martin Pitt
 * Kenshi Muto

TODO

 * use debconf to maintain cupsd.conf
 * LSB?
 * Fix bugs, and send patches to upstream
 * Library transition. Let's drop libcupsys2-gnutls10, back libcupsys2.
 * CUPS 1.2 migration (we should use experimental for 1.2 series till 1.2 is
    officially released)
 * Others?

Development style

 * XForce style is good example.
 * There is only debian/ directory structure in version control system.
 * Uploader extracts orig.tar.gz and export debian/ from version control system.
 * All of changes for original source should be done via debian/patches using
    dpatch.
 * Use pkg-cups-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org to negotiate with other developers
    when you want to add a critical patch. All commit messages will be sent to
    this ML also.
 * Under development, we define "UNRELEASED" as distribution name at debian/
    changelog. This is for denoting repository is under development, and avoiding
    that under-development-version goes to unstable. Please keep this rule when
    you add new changelog entry.

To checkout:

$ svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-cups/cupsys/trunk cupsys

To build: (change distribution name from UNRELEASED to unstable, and commit
modifies to SVN repository)

$ tar zxf cupsys-1.1.23.orig.tar.gz
$ cd cupsys-1.1.23
$ svn export svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-cups/cupsys/trunk/debian debian
$ debuild
