Due to the many regression bugs which the foomatic-filters package in Intrepid has (see changelog below) I propose to replace Intrepid's foomatic-filters by the final 4.0.0 release (which is currently in Jaunty).
An SRU request is uploaded to -proposed. Here is the debdiff
Note that its is long, as due to the final release also the documentation is updated and the machine-generated files of the build system got regenerated. The following diff contains only the changes in active code (which actually modify the /usr/bin/foomatic-rip executable):
The following debian/changelog contains all fixes on active code, the upstream ChangeLog I do not show here as it is much longer due to the documentation changes and the 4.0.0 final release.
* New upstream release (4.0.0 final release, BZR rev 195, all the changes
against rev 177 as shipped by Intrepid are regressions against Hardy)
- Let custom JCL options get correctly inserted.
- Treat "None" as empty string in string and password options.
- String and password option settings got inserted with the
"Custom." prefix.
- Fixed segfault which occured when using string options (LP: #318614).
- Make foomatic-rip working correctly with PostScript of StarOffice 8.
- The PostScript code of PostScript options did not get inserted when
the spooler is CUPS and foomatic-rip had to convert incoming PDF to
PostScript (LP: #299918).
- Made merging of PJL options of the PPD and of the driver correctly
working (LP: #318818).
- Corrected the insertion of the "%%PageSetup" sections (LP: #318818).
- Inserted PostScript option settings from pstops were not corrected
with custom option settings done on the command line (numerical,
string, password).
- If there was only one PJL option in the PPD no PJL got added at all
(LP: #303691).
- Made foomatic-rip conforming with the LSB compliance tests (LSB bug
#2423, LP: #318818).
- Fixed infinite loop when page-specific option settings are used
(LP: #318816).
- Made foomatic-rip correctly working with custom JCL options.
- Option setting insertions got corrupted when there is a composite
option in the PPD file (Upstream bug #173, comment #23).
