Compared to previous versions of this port there is one difference that I leave to the committer to resolve. Basically the old version was (by default) using /usr/local/var/spool/cups (is this true? I never used the old port, but the new sources do this). I would think that most people change it to /var/spool/cups and the port now uses that directory. The main reason I did this is that I spent nearly a full day scratching my head trying to figure out why I could not print and the pstoraster filter sat spinning at 100% cpu. A little trip through the source and debugger showed me that they ever so nicely sit in an infinite loop trying to open a temp file and since the /usr/local/var directory did not exist nothing progressed. I do understand the need to keep things in /usr/local, but putting /var into /usr/local/var didn't make sence to me if for the only reason that it does not exist by default. Any comments?
