#2813 Tag request cups-1.4.1-12.fc12 for f12-final
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by twaugh.

Please tag cups-1.4.1-12.fc12 for f12-final. Here are the changes:

{{{
* Tue Oct 27 2009 Jiri Popelka jpopelka@redhat.com 1:1.4.1-12
- Fix incorrectly applied patch from #STR3285 (bug #531108).
- Set the PRINTER_IS_SHARED variable for admin.cgi (bug #529634, #STR3390).
- Pass through serial parameters correctly in web interface (bug #529635, #STR3391).
- Fixed German translation (bug #531144, #STR3396).

  • Tue Oct 20 2009 Jiri Popelka jpopelka@redhat.com 1:1.4.1-11
  • Fix cups-lpd to create unique temporary data files (bug #529838).
    }}}

These changes fix:

  1. the 'lprm' command, which was not working at all
  2. another typo in the German translation
  3. several problems with the CUPS web interface
  4. an issue (seen on Red Hat Enterprise Linux) with cups-lpd under high load

They are all small, targeted fixes, each of which has been individually tested. I'm running cups-1.4.1-12.fc12 here, and a Fedora 11 test update is in the process of being pushed.

Without these fixes the 'lprm' command will be useless, the German translation for the web interface will contain errors, the web interface will not work at all for serial printers and will be confusing to use with any shared printer, and servers running cups-lpd may run into problems under high load.

The cups-lpd fix switches from using the CUPS 'own' temporary file name generator to using mkstemp(). The failure condition was that no temporary file could be created -- so this is not security related.


installed cups, could still log in and get updates, that's good enough for me. +1
