*	quick hack to enable printerdrake to run	Thierry Vignaud	2003-07-15	1	-0/+1
|
*	perl_checker fixes	Thierry Vignaud	2003-05-20	1	-3/+3
| | | | | | | |	printer::printerdrake::{setup_smb,setup_socket}(): do not use undef values, but reuse those we just calculate printer::printerdrake::main(): fix printer::default::printer_type() callee
*	- clean up embedding; since socket automatically emit plug-added gtk+ signal	Thierry Vignaud	2003-02-24	1	-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | |	when plug is realize, it's just cleaner to centralize/consolidate the child embedding in mcc this of course, need a newer up-to-date mcc what's more, it allows to remove the somewhat mythical "$::isEmbedded and kill 'USR2', $::CCPID;" - keyboarddrake, xfdrake, drakautoinst: goto cleaning btw
*	hide the icon when embedded to get more space	Thierry Vignaud	2003-02-19	1	-1/+1
|
*	fix embedding and clean it up	Thierry Vignaud	2003-02-19	1	-6/+1
|
*	- Restructured function "main()"	Till Kamppeter	2003-02-17	1	-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | |	- Made automatic queue setup being done during installation - Support for unknown printers in auto-detection and in automatic queue setup - Fixed determination of default printer - Fixed printer help page display - Fixed wait message in /usr/sbin/printerdrake
*	- standalone.pm :	Thierry Vignaud	2002-11-18	1	-12/+1
| | | | | | | | | | |	o make it be 'use strict' aware o factorize options managment in one place - standalone tools : o they all now support -h|--help -v|--version, ... o they can add their own options to %standalone::usages - harddrake : use std --testing/$::testing rather than its own --test option
*	update copyright years	Thierry Vignaud	2002-11-18	1	-1/+1
|
*	printer related modules cleaning :	Thierry Vignaud	2002-11-12	1	-14/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |	- create the printer/ hierarchy - split services related stuff into services.pm & printer::services, - move things that've nothing to do with printers into common.pm (alternatives, permissions, ...) - move eveything related to cups, gimp-print, detection, {star,open}office to the corresponding splited printer:: module - big consolidation of printer::office (it was obvious there were tons of duplication between staroffice and openoffice managment) - move other stuff into printer::main, printer::common, status : print.pm has been heavily splited (now one can begin to understand the little bits). printerdrake still needs to be splited/cleaned and eventually removed since printer/printerdrake modules separation is not understandable by other people till, in printer::gimp, $lprcommand is neither declared nor setted nowhere. idem in mdk9.0 ...
*	ensure "common" is imported to have N()	Pascal Rigaux	2002-11-10	1	-0/+1
|
*	replace "_" with "N" and "__" with "N_"	Pascal Rigaux	2002-11-06	1	-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |	rationale: - currently, we use _("xxx") as a shorthand for gettext("xxx"). It also used to call xgettext with --keyword=_ - alas, function &_ is global and not by package (notice esp. that _ is not exported in common.pm) - this lead to big ugly pb with packages defining their own &_, overriding common.pm's &_ - a fix is to set @::textdomains to add a new domain (the default being "libDrakX") but relying on the global "_" is still dangerous!
*	Printerdrake remembers now whether it was in normal mode or in expert	Till Kamppeter	2002-08-28	1	-1/+8
| | | | |	mode last time.
*	Renamed icon of Printerdrake so that it does not get overwritten by	Till Kamppeter	2002-08-28	1	-1/+1
| | | | |	Star Office.
*	- Ask user whether he really wants to set up printing when he starts ↵	Till Kamppeter	2002-08-26	1	-1/+3
| | | | | | |	Printerdrake for the first time. - Added titles ("Printerdrake") to all wait messages.
*	replace "kill USR1" with "kill 'USR1'" (and same for USR2)	Pascal Rigaux	2002-08-05	1	-2/+2
| | | | |	(so that 'use strict' works)
*	Handle parsing --embedded command line in standalone.pm	Pascal Rigaux	2002-07-31	1	-1/+0
| | | | | |	=> allows to remove the somewhat mythical $::isEmbedded = ($::XID, $::CCPID) = "@ARGV" =~ /--embedded (\w+) (\w+)/
*	Assured that the default page size is "Letter" for US/Canada and "A4" for ↵	Till Kamppeter	2002-02-19	1	-3/+0
| | | | | | | |	the rest of the world. The "Description" field of a printer queue is filled in with printer manufacturer and model by default. Removed unused varaiables in /usr/sbin/printerdrake.
*	- Assure that Foomatic is installed before checking existing printer queues.	Till Kamppeter	2002-02-12	1	-0/+3
|
*	- write the 'common' part of the 'explanations' stuff,	Guillaume Cottenceau	2002-01-18	1	-1/+2
| | | | | | |	with nice help from Pixel for the tough Perl part - move 'use standalone' up in all standalone apps, to comply to 'explanations'
*	Fixed bug of spooler choice via command line options being ignored.	Till Kamppeter	2001-09-15	1	-7/+9
|
*	Fixed spooler selection by command line.	Till Kamppeter	2001-09-14	1	-5/+5
|
*	Data structure fitted for auto-install to work	Till Kamppeter	2001-09-07	1	-2/+6
| | | | | | |	Optimized program to be much faster Many more waiting messages Many bugfixes
*	use vnew the right way everywhere	Guillaume Cottenceau	2001-08-09	1	-1/+1
|
