I was told on the IRC channel that I should first try whether my modified CUPS expression works. Of course, it would have been sufficient to build only CUPS, not the whole system. > > You find the patch attached to this e-mail.

What does reliable mean in this context? That I commit patches regularly? I cannot promise that I will do. Or that I don’t disturb the repository? I can at least say that I don’t want to do that and that I should be able to do sensible commits. I have experience with both Linux and functional progamming for about 10 years, by the way. So I kindly ask for commit access to the SVN repository.
