Cory,
Thanks for this long awaited release.
A couple of issues from a Debian GNU/Linux perspective.
=2E When following the Debian Installation instructions to the letter the
update-rc.d command fails with the following:
[...]
update-rc.d: error: expected runlevel [0-9S] (did you forget "." ?)
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | sNN kNN]
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
-n: not really
-f: force
=2E In trying to generate a Debian package for hplip (I'm currently the Deb=
ian
maintainer for hpoj) DESTDIR is not honoured for the following installation
candidates:
error: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cupsext.so: Permission denied
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644
xml/errors.xml /home/msp/src/hpinkjet.sf.net/hplip-0.8.2/debian/hplip/usr/h=
ome/msp/src/hpinkjet.sf.net/hplip-0.8.2/debian/hplip/usr/hplip/data/xml/err=
ors.xml
error.png
error: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pcardext.so: Permission denied
/etc/hp/hplip.conf
My build-log is available at:
http://people.debian.org/~msp/hplip_0.8.2-1_i386.build
It also tends to place of lot of arch independant files under /usr/hplip, t=
his
would be better has /usr/share/hplip, but the use of $(datadir) rather than
$(prefix) in a number of places.
What we did with davidp in hpoj was split up the install target into a
user_install (for base files and applications) and root_install (for /etc/ &
init.d files). The Debian package called user_install (honouring DETSDIR) to
place the base files in the correct location, but didn't call root_install.
Instead using the debian/rules to place /etc & init.d files. Could you look
at a similar scheme for hplip as it would greatly help package maintainers
and would be transparent to other users of the upstream source.
Some other suggestions I have are:
