I don't like the way that KDE drags in CUPS.
I don't know anything about CUPS except that I can't print if it's enabled,
and frankly I don't care to have to learn anything about CUPS just to use KDE.
(If I try to print with CUPS enabled as a regular user it claims that the
queue can't be found. Works as root, though as it turns out that's probably
not a permissions problem but rather the fact that my root has a different
path set up.)
I just did a pkg_delete -f of CUPS and now I can print again (yay!), but it's
a pretty ugly thing to have to do and it took me quite a while to figure out
that that was the solution to my problem.
Could this be made into one of those optional --WITH things?
Is there any way to make things like that optional when installing from
packages?
This may be more of a generalized problem with the whole ports/packages
design, and I understand that it's a little complex, but I hope that a
solution will be thought of.
