gutenprint 5.2.7-5ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

gutenprint (5.2.7-5ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.ppd-updater,
      debian/foomatic-db-gutenprint.ppd-updater,
      debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.postinst,
      debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.install.in,
      debian/foomatic-db-gutenprint.install.in:
      Use the PPD updater script of the cups package to update the PPD files
      (in /etc/cups/ppd/) of all already existing print queues using this
      driver when updating this package. In contray to Gutenprint's own
      cups-genppdupdate the script of the cups package can also migrate PPD
      files. In our case we migrate Foomatic/IJS PPD files to the equivalent
      PPDs using the CUPS Raster driver of Gutenprint and we replace simplified
      PPD files by the corresponding standard PPDs, as we discontinue the
      simplified PPDs in Ubuntu to reduce the delta to Debian and to make
      printer model/driver listings in printer setup tools less cluttered.
      printer-driver-gutenprint.postinst is not needed any more and therefore
      removed.
    - debian/printer-driver-gutenprint.install.in: Do not install profile.jpg.
      The file is not installed by upstream ("make install") and only wastes
      space.
    - debian/control, debian/patches/0003-upgrade-getopt.patch,
      debian/patches/0004-no-data-dumper-needed.patch: Eliminate the unnecessary
      Perl module dependencies to reduce the package's dependency on Perl to
      perl-base instead of perl. This saves a lot of space on the Live CDs of
      Ubuntu. This is done by once not importing Data::Dumper without using it
      and second, by replacing Getopt::Std with Getopt::Long. Removed the
      dependency on perl from debian/control.
    - debian/rules: Build with "--enable-nls" in the "./configure"
      command line. This is actually needed and got accidentally dropped in
      Debian, assuming that dh_auto_configure sets it.
    - debian/ubuntu/apport-hook.py, debian/rules: Install Apport hook if the
      package is built under Ubuntu (decides via "dpkg-vendor").
    - 0005-use-dnointerpolate-in-ghostscript-command-lines.patch: Running
      Ghostscript without interpolation makes Ghostscript significantly faster
      especially on files which contain bitmaps. The effect of interpolation on
      the high resolutions usually used for printing is practically invisible
      and therefore the interpolation is of no benefit here.
    - debian/control: Added transitional package ijsgutenprint-ppds. The
      Ubuntu-only package with this name got dropped in favor of migrating
      users of the IJS flavor of Gutenprint to the CUPS Raster flavor.

gutenprint (5.2.7-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Apply patch to fix cups-genppd on Linux (and all non-Apple)
    platforms by not using Apple-specific paths for ICC profiles.
    The patch removes all ICC profile information from the
    generated PPDs (Closes: #625925).  Thanks to Julien Cristau
    for the patch.

gutenprint (5.2.7-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * printer-driver-gutenprint has versioned Conflicts and Replaces
    on cups-driver-gutenprint (Closes: 651507).
  * Remove printer-driver-gutenprint preinst, and remove parts of the
    postinst and postrm; the migration and cleanup tasks were done for
    oldstable upgrades, and are no longer required.
  * printer-driver-gutenprint Description matches the printing team
    template.

gutenprint (5.2.7-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add printer-driver-gutenprint package to replace
    cups-driver-gutenprint.  cups-driver-gutenprint is a
    transitional package.
  * debian/control: Use multiline dependencies.

cups-driver-gutenprint: transitional dummy package for gutenprint printer driver

 This is a transitional package to install the CUPS driver based on
 Gutenprint, which has been renamed to printer-driver-gutenprint.
 .
 Gutenprint is the print facility for the GIMP, and in addition a
 suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems
 using GhostScript or CUPS. These drivers provide printing quality
 for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in
 many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing
 tasks. Gutenprint was formerly known as Gimp-Print.

escputil: maintenance utility for Epson Stylus printers

 escputil is a utility to clean and align the heads of Epson Stylus
 printers. It can also check the current ink levels in the printer.
 .
 Gutenprint is the print facility for the GIMP, and in addition a
 suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems

foomatic-db-gutenprint: OpenPrinting printer support - database for Gutenprint printer drivers

 Foomatic is a printing system designed to make it easier to set up
 common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems).
 It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and
 your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files
 sent to the printer.
 .
 This package includes support for printers using the Gutenprint
 printer driver suite.

gutenprint-doc: users' guide for Gutenprint and CUPS

 This package contains a user guide for programs using the
 Gutenprint library for photographic quality printing. Currently
 this covers using the Print plugin for the GIMP and the Common Unix
 Printing System (CUPS).

gutenprint-locales: locale data files for Gutenprint

 This package contains the i18n files of Gutenprint, used by
 libgutenprint2, printer-driver-gutenprint and escputil. It is also
 used by the Print plugin for the GIMP, gimp-gutenprint.
 .

ijsgutenprint: inkjet server - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint

 This package contains the ijsgutenprint binary which provides
 Ghostscript with a Gutenprint driver, including all printers
 supported by Gutenprint. ijsgutenprint is an IJS server (driver),
 which communicates with Ghostscript (an IJS client) using the IJS
 (InkJet Server) communications protocol. IJS is a method for
 separating ghostscript drivers from ghostscript, to allow
 ghostscript to be more extensible.
 .
 If you wish to print using Ghostscript and the Gutenprint drivers,
 install this package. This is typical for LPRng setups. If you
 are using CUPS, printer-driver-gutenprint is a better choice, but
 this package will still work with the appropriate foomatic setup
 if you wish to make use of foomatic.

ijsgutenprint-ppds: transitional dummy package for gutenprint printer driver

 This is a transitional package to install the CUPS driver based on
 Gutenprint if the now dropped ijsgutenprint-ppds package was used
 before. We generally migrate CUPS users from the IJS driver to the
 CUPS Raster driver now. ijsgutenprint is only continued for non-
 CUPS users.
