Some of these changes look substantial - do we have any bug reports that indicate that distributing 2.8. 6 is a bad idea? Agreed. From all accounts 2.8.6 is running well across debian. The only reason to upgrade lenny to 2.8.6.b is because upstream have asked generally that 2.8.6 not be distributed as they released some early code that they then took out in 2.8.6.b. Functionally the two versions are supposed to be identical. Upstream has put additional functionality into 2.8.7. But we are not considering that for lenny and I probably won't package 2.8.7 until we resolve lenny. Ubuntu have allready shipped 2.8.7 and we work with them on common packaging, we both use alioth for debian/ Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Package: hplip Version: 2.8.6-2 Severity: important Hi, I just noted on the hp page http://hplip.sourceforge.net/release_notes.html that release 2.8.6 was accidential, quote: HPLIP 2.8.6 prematurely released code that was not intended for release. Release 2.8.6b replaces 2.8.6 and removes that code. There is no change in intended functionality as described in the release notes. We do not recommend using release 2.8.6 and ask that release 2.8.6 not be redistributed. There is no hint in the changelog that you actually use 2.8.6b, so I think it is important (for lenny) to replace upstream by 2.8.6b or 2.8.7.
