[Pkg-cups-devel] cupsys: bug triaging

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Hello fellow CUPS co-maintainers!

Following the recent flood of bugs (some of which were raised to RC) on cupsys, 
I have taken a quick look at outstanding bugs. We have *that* many bugs? Yikes!

***

First, the issue that keeps on popping since a few days:  the missing dependency 
on 'gs-esp'. Am I correct to assume that the only reason why it is in Recommends 
instead of Depends is because not all printers are of the Postscript variety and 
therefore won't necessarily all require Postscript preprocessing?

Still...

Would it be fair to assume that all modern printer *are* Postscript-compatible 
and to move 'gs-esp' to Depends just to avoid that sort of noisy bug report?
If yes, then I could logon to SVN and fix this now.

***

On the more general bug triaging issue, I'd like to ask Kenshi how he wants us 
to proceeed. I suppose that I could immediately prod submitters of bugs dating 
back to Woody to verify whether their old issue still applies, but what else?
