Hi all,

Attached are my first attempts at creating a set of gnome style spec 
files for building the opensource packages that make up the "Solaris 
CUPS Print Suite". The packages they build are direct replacements for 
the packages that are on (or were on) the Companion CD (CCD) - whoops 
it's a DVD now.

These packages are:
   SFWcups       SFWespgs     SFWfltk    SFWgutenprint  SFWpnm2ppa
   SFWcupsprint  SFWffilters  SFWfppds   SFWhpijs       SFWxpp
where package SFWcupsprint is a dummy package that pulls all the others 
together (via dependencies).

I have briefly tested them on sparc, but I only have one network 
printer, and as such they all work together okay.

The attached tarball contains the spec files, patches, include files and 
a Makefile. I have only built them on Solaris 10 sparc but they should 
hopefully work okay on x86 and Solaris nv. At the time of creating the 
spec files they used the latest stable version of the packages (except 
gutenprint which is rc3).

The next step is to break down the CUPS package into sub-packages in the 
way that Norm (Solaris Print Group) has suggested (so that it works 
along side the Solaris Print System) .....

I hope these are useful to someone, let me know. If I have missed any 
packages that should be in the suite let me know. Also if you find any 
problem with the resultant packages also let me know.

Regards
