Thank you! I always love it when developers use the
"rpmbuild -ta" option. It means they pay close
attention to details, usually more than just the
building of RPM's. :-)
Where did you find this documentation? On
http://cups.org/software.php#BINARIES
It only gives this cheesy statement:
Binaries:
A MacOS X Universal Binary package for MacOS X 10.4
and higher can be downloaded from this page (cups-*.dmg).
Binaries for other operating systems are available on
the CUPS Companion CD. Free binaries may be available
elsewhere - search Google to find them.
Many, many thanks,
