Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal
I just upgraded to 1.2 and ran dpkg-reconfigure. There were a number
of points that were unclear to me. Most of these are documentation
issues, but the most significant, whether dpkg-reconfigure is fully
effective, may involve some code. Or I could just be misunderstanding
things.
I'll start with the easy stuff:
In NEWS.Debian
1. * 'enable' / 'disable' commands are removed. Use 'cupsenable' /
'cupsdisable'.
Since this came immediately after "old configuration won't work in
some cases." I thought these were configuration commands (e.g.,
enablefoo). The only ones I found in cupsd.conf were Enable-Printer
and Disable-Printer. After looking at the docs, I finally realized
that cupsenable and cupsdisable are command line tools (right?). So
perhaps say
* The command-line tools 'cupsenable' and 'cupsdisable' have replaced
'enable' and 'disable'.
2. "Port/Listen and Browsing parameters are splitted from newer"
should be "are split", if you keep this. I think the intended meaning
is more like this:
dpkg-reconfigure cupsys now controls the Port/Listen and Browsing
parameters by writing the files /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf
and /etc/cups/cups.d/browsing.conf respectively. However, this will
have no effect unless you modify /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to include
those files:
Include /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf
Include /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf
You should also comment out any settings of those
parameters in cupsd.conf. dpkg-reconfigure will use your current
settings [if they are not commented out?] as default values.
dpkg-reconfigure behavior:
3. dpkg-reconfigure asked me a bunch of questions when it ran (e.g.,
what were my printer communication backends). However, it did not
update cupsd.conf or any other file as far as I can tell (excepting
ports.conf and browse.conf). Did the changes actually take effect?

#1 no longer remains!

Thank you for your bug report, Ross. I think we can close it now, don't
you think?
