 Line-based lists are not an invention of DEP-5 -- they're a standard field
 type in Policy -- so I don't think there's a huge need to get rid of them.
 They're a fairly natural structure for Upstream-Contact, which I don't
 think poses the same problem.

Lists with one item per line are definitely a natural format for documenting
multiple contacts addresses.  Nevertheless, note that in Debian control files,
the multiline fields containing lists start with an empty line.  In that sense,
“line-based lists” are a specificity of DEP 5, because they do not start with
an empty line.

I think that currently there is no project to parse copyright files and extract
this information.  This is why I would not mind the DEP being simplified there.
But I am probably biased, as I have argued before that the Upstream-Contact
field should be removed altogether.  I think that this field is a survivance
from dh_make's template, that lists “Upstream Author(s)” in addition to the
copyright holders.

Have a nice day,

Printing Bug

[Benjamin Mesing]

Hi,

I have a bug report against UMLet [1] which states that printing to a
shared SMB printer using CUPS with authentication-requirement does not
work. I had the reporter test printing with freemind too, where he has
the same problem.

A superficial web search does not reveal a solution for this problem and
I am not so much into the Java-Printing stuff that I can do a lot here.

Since UMLet uses standard java mechanism for printing I suspect it is
not really an UMLet bug, but one within Java (he uses OpenJDK 6):

import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;

[...]

PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(this.getDrawPanel());
if (printJob.printDialog()) try {
printJob.print();
} catch (PrinterException pe) {
Main.displayError(Constants.ERROR_PRINTING);
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards

Ben
