[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2028054] Re: [MIR] python-rlpycairo
As I said in comment #4 - The binary package libsane-hpaio DOES NOT depend on the binary package hplip, not even indirectly, so the binary package hplip can get demoted to Universe. the binary package printer-driver-hpcups also does not depend on the binary package hplip, but printer-driver-hpcups itself can already get demoted to Universe as we replace the printer drivers by Printer Application Snaps (this driver provided by the HPLIP Printer Application, hplip-printer-app). So hp-scan as part of the binary package hplip will go to Universe, hp-sendfax as part of the binary package hplip-gui is already in Universe. - Now, keeping CUPS as DEB packages for the time being, we continue with libsane-hpaio and printer-driver-hpcups in Main, but we can demote the binary package hplip into Universe, so the dependency on python- reportlab goes completely into Universe, eliminating the need of this MIR at least from the printing-stack side. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028054 Title: [MIR] python-rlpycairo Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in python-reportlab package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in python-rlpycairo package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: python-rlpycairo is a new dependency of python-reportlab (currently owned by Foundations).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2028054] Re: [MIR] python-rlpycairo
I believe the analysis in comment #3 was based on a scenario when we were switching the printing stack to snaps in mantic. This has been rolled back because GUI management of the snap stack is not possible. So hplip has been re-seeded, and needs to get re-promoted before mantic beta. Which means we need to go through this MIR as normal. Unfortunately despite python-reportlab being used only for an uncommon feature, dropping the dependency would make for bad UX when a user does need this feature (there's no code to tell the user they need to install python-reportlab, it'll just crash/fail). Avoiding promoting this package to main would be fine, but for the moment we don't have a clear path for doing so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028054 Title: [MIR] python-rlpycairo Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: New Status in python-reportlab package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in python-rlpycairo package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: python-rlpycairo is a new dependency of python-reportlab (currently owned by Foundations).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2028054] Re: [MIR] python-rlpycairo
Generally, python-reportlab is used only by HPLIP's utilities, not by the printer and scanner drivers by themselves. It is used by hp-scan to convert image files of scanned pages into PDF files and by hp-sendfax to generate fax cover sheets. Most users do not care as they use simple-scan or XSane for scanning. As HPLIP's scanner driver is a SANE driver all these frontends work, and probably also more reliable than HP's tool. hp-sendfax is very really used, probably already because fax is only rarely used nowadays. at most places it got already completely replaced by other electronic communication means. Also use of HPLIP at all is diminishing as modern HP printers and multi- function devices support driverless (IPP) printing and (eSCL) scanning. hp-sendfax is in hplip-gui which is in Universe. hp-scan is a command line tool but not necessarily needed, there is also scanimage of SANE, so one should check whether the binary package "hplip" is actually needed by sane-hpaio and/or printer-driver-hpcups and if not, demote it to Universe. In addition, from Ubuntu 23.10 printing will be provided by the CUPS Snap and Printer Application Snaps, which makes printer-driver-hpcups not needed any more, and so also subject to be moved to Universe. So for me it looks like that we can move most of HPLIP to Universe as practically only sane-hpaio is needed to support scanners (and sane- hpaio will also get removed in favor of Snaps in a later version of Ubuntu). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028054 Title: [MIR] python-rlpycairo Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: New Status in python-reportlab package in Ubuntu: New Status in python-rlpycairo package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: python-rlpycairo is a new dependency of python-reportlab (currently owned by Foundations).
