[Pkg-cups-devel] cups reactivate_recommended_driver.dpatch

[Martin Pitt]

Hi Till,

Our cups packages have been carrying
reactivate_recommended_driver.dpatch for a while (attached for
reference). gnome-cups-manager had used this tag, but it has been
removed from both Debian and Ubuntu, and is not maintained upstream
any more. cups upstream deliberately removed the tag and apparently
isn't willing to put it back.

system-config-printer does not seem to use it either, it just filters
it out and instead seems to have its own method of finding out the
recommended one.

Can you please clarify the situation? Should we still carry the patch
and keep the "(recommended)" suffix, or can we drop it? If the former,
and other distros have it as well, maybe you can open a new STR and
explain the issue again, pointing out the reasons why we still need
it?

Thank you!

Martin,
who is cleaning up all the cups patches and forwards them upstream
