Debian Printing Team

/!\ Work to form a proper team is in progress… /!\

Initial proposal

RFC: Forming a Printing Task Force

As stated in the above mail, the situation is not really good in the printing scope : the diff with Ubuntu is growing, the bug reports are piling, several security issues have arosen, etc. In order to solve this in time for squeeze, the idea is to merge multiple teams and their diverted forces into a bigger single "Printing Team".

This renewed team would handle the packages from the list below.

Concerned packages

Please list here the packages that would be handled by the eventual team. Please also remove them if needed.

(Please keep alphabetical order.)

Infrastructure

Infrastructure re-use definitive proposal:

Name

Debian Printing Group

Mailing-list

<debian-printing AT lists DOT debian DOT org>

The friendly ''takeover'' of debian-printing from gutenprint packagers has been ACKed by them.

Alioth group

collab-maint

Collab-Maint is considered a consensus, and many packages are already using it. There is no constraint. (There is already pkg-cups and pkg-hpijs.)

VCS

Free

There is no preference.

To be done

Bugs

Quoting Martin Pitt

  • Someone who knows the Linux printing system very well needs to sit down and write a comprehensive "?how to debug printing problems" document: in particular, how to identify in which package the problem is, which debug information to collect, and common workarounds/tests which help the reporter's immediate problem and are useful for diagnosis.
