You should = use the WITH_CUPS=3Dyes option to make if you have CUPS and build samba from po= rts. > But, we *could* leave my change in and add a message saying to install > cups-lpr if cups is needed.=20 Yes, or maybe create a samba-cups slave port that simply sets this option. This would make binary packages with CUPS support available, won't it? > This change was mainly to stop the "CUPS broke my printing" threads > that show up from time to time (usually directed at KDE, but we have > fixed that, since KDE really doesn't need cups-lpr). Yes, and like I stated, I consider it a major violation of POLA if some port installs binaries with names that are like system names, especially if it's automatically pulled in (ie, I didn't ask for CUPS, I asked for Samba). All GNU ports get renamed to avoid this problem (GNU make, GNU ls, etc.). Whatever way it is solved, *I* can use the WITH_CUPS option to configure Sa= mba to my wishes. However, I think that the packaged version of Samba is import= ant to FreeBSD as well. I haven't heard from that many CUPS users lately. Are there numbers available about CUPS usage? If so, the decision can be made depending on most used print system... --Stijn --=20 The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body.
