I really don't understand why Samba needs Cups. I've been running 2.1.x & 2.2 at home for printing for ages, using the base system tools. Having been bitten by the unfortunate installation of 'lpr' by CUPS before (through KDE), I'd really like the samba port *not* to install CUPS binarie= s, it's a major violation of POLA on a default FreeBSD setup. We have WITH_XXX options for a lot of ports. I think it wouldn't be too har= d to add one for CUPS support. Then we can even add a samba-cups slave port so t= hat people can install that package if they are going to use CUPS anyway. Just my EUR 0.02. --Stijn --=20 "Linux has many different distributions, meaning that you can probably find one that is exactly what you want (I even found one that looked like a Unix system)." -- Mike Meyer, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, in message <15252.28617.61423.224978@guru.mired.org> --u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8PvqlY3r/tLQmfWcRAtTMAKCo8ri4hgU0EmxEdIWzeOfDiKaSuACglMfM ILsFb3Qlu5/Ny6t0QID0Tsw= =YtV/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
