libppd package

libppd 2:2.0~b4-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

libppd (2:2.0~b4-0ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release 2.0b4.
  * Renamed binary package "ppdc" to "libppd-utils" as it now also
    contains the "testppdfile" utility which replaces "cupstestppd".
  * Moved the /usr/share/ppdc/*.h files from the former "ppdc"
    binary package into "libppd2-common" as the PPD file generation
    from *.drv files is actually done by libppd, not by the command line
    utilities.
  * Added new autopkgtest which builds the test program used by
    "make check" but runs it on the system's libppd. To make the
    test prgram ("testppd") available for autopkgtests we compile it while
    building the package and then provide it (with its auxiliary files) in
    the new libppd-tests binary package.
  * Applied KDE symbolshelper to debian/libppd2.symbols. Updated debian/NEWS
    with more detailed info.

Binary packages built by this source

libppd-dev: OpenPrinting libppd - Development files for the library

 This library contains everything needed to support PPD (PostScript
 Printer Description) files, reading and parsing, handling collections
 of PPD files, building PPD files from printer IPP attributes and from
 *.drv files.
 .
 It contains the full PPD file and PostScript output functionality of
 CUPS 2.x (libcups, ppdc) and cups-filters 1.x, so that the functionality
 stays available for retro-fitting classic CUPS drivers after switching
 to CUPS 3.x which has all PPD file support removed.
 .
 This library contains filter functions doing all kinds of file format
 conversion used for printing and scanning, to be used in Printer
 Applications, CUPS filters, printer drivers, ... also other commonly
 used functions for handling print data, like color space/depth
 conversion, dithering, IPP message parsing, ... are available.
 .
 This package contains the header files to develop applications (Printer
 Applications, CUPS filters, printer drivers) using libppd.

libppd-tests: OpenPrinting libppd - Upstream test programs for autopkgtests

 This library contains everything needed to support PPD (PostScript
 Printer Description) files, reading and parsing, handling collections
 of PPD files, building PPD files from printer IPP attributes and from
 *.drv files.
 .
 It contains the full PPD file and PostScript output functionality of
 CUPS 2.x (libcups, ppdc) and cups-filters 1.x, so that the functionality
 stays available for retro-fitting classic CUPS drivers after switching
 to CUPS 3.x which has all PPD file support removed.
 .
 This package contains test programs from the upstream code which are used
 for the autopkgtests.
 .
 For using libppd you do not need to install this package. It does not
 contain anything useful for end users.

libppd-utils: OpenPrinting libppd - PPD manipulation and test utilities

 This library contains everything needed to support PPD (PostScript
 Printer Description) files, reading and parsing, handling collections
 of PPD files, building PPD files from printer IPP attributes and from
 *.drv files.
 .
 It contains the full PPD file and PostScript output functionality of
 CUPS 2.x (libcups, ppdc) and cups-filters 1.x, so that the functionality
 stays available for retro-fitting classic CUPS drivers after switching
 to CUPS 3.x which has all PPD file support removed.
 .
 This package provides the test utility testppdfile which replaces
 the cupstestppd utility of CUPS 2.x. It also provides command line
 utilities to generate and manipulate PPD files and convert between PPD
 files and *.drv files. The core functionality of these utilities is
 implemented in libppd.

libppd2: OpenPrinting libppd - Shared library

 This library contains everything needed to support PPD (PostScript
 Printer Description) files, reading and parsing, handling collections
 of PPD files, building PPD files from printer IPP attributes and from
 *.drv files.
 .
 It contains the full PPD file and PostScript output functionality of
 CUPS 2.x (libcups, ppdc) and cups-filters 1.x, so that the functionality
 stays available for retro-fitting classic CUPS drivers after switching
 to CUPS 3.x which has all PPD file support removed.
 .
 This package contains the library itself.

libppd2-common: OpenPrinting libppd - Auxiliary files

 This library contains everything needed to support PPD (PostScript
 Printer Description) files, reading and parsing, handling collections
 of PPD files, building PPD files from printer IPP attributes and from
 *.drv files.
 .
 It contains the full PPD file and PostScript output functionality of
 CUPS 2.x (libcups, ppdc) and cups-filters 1.x, so that the functionality
 stays available for retro-fitting classic CUPS drivers after switching
 to CUPS 3.x which has all PPD file support removed.
 .
 This package contains system-architecture-independent auxiliary files for
 the library, needed for generating PPD files from *.drv files.

ppdc: OpenPrinting libppd - PPD utilities (transitional package)

 This is a transitional package and can safely be removed once no other
 packages depend on it.
