Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-15
Severity: wishlist
Please, install the dvi filter by default in the Debian package.
It was not immediate to discover about it, and it took some time to
guess how to install it, as there are no explicit instructions.
It works, so again, please install it by default in the distribution.
At the very least, please add these instrucions to a
/doc/cupsys/examples/filters/dvipipetops.INSTALL file:
================
To use the dvipipetops filter:
- create an /etc/cups/local.convs file and add the contents of
dvipipetops.convs to it
- add the contents of dvipipetops.types to /etc/cups/mime.types
- uncompress dvipipetops, give it exec permissions and put it in
/usr/lib/cups/filter
- restart cups with /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Now you can directly print .dvi files with cups without first converting
them to ps.
================
