[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#511009: foomatic 4.0?

[Bdale Garbee]

Hi Chris!

I raised the severity on cups bug #511009 yesterday to release-critical,
since the move from postscript to pdf as the default cups output format
broke all of my printers.

As Keith Packard noted in a follow-up to the bug, it appears that
foomatic 4.0 adds support for pdf input.  So, updating the foomatic
version in sid may be the best fix for this bug.

I see you're the maintainer of foomatic-db and friends.  When do you
plan to upgrade the Debian packages to foomatic 4.0 or later?  Are there
other issues with that, or has it just not gotten attention yet?  If the
latter, would you like some help?

Regards,

Bdale
