[cups] Installation help

[Douglas Kosovic]

Hi Vince,


> p.s. Will version 2.0.3 be put in the Fedora repository at some point?

One option is to build the cups-2.0.3 RPMs from the Fedora rawhide source RPM, e.g.:

Download cups-2.0.3-4.fc23.src.rpm  from :
   https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/c/

If you don’t have /usr/bin/rpmbuild , install it with :
   sudo yum install rpm-build

The following command will rebuild the cups-2.0.3 RPMs for your version of Fedora :
   rpmbuild —rebuild cups-2.0.3-4.fc23.src.rpm
but you may need to install some of the build dependencies with yum.

You can then install the generated RPMs with :
   rpm -Uvh {rpm file names}
where {rpm file names} are some of the rpm files that got built.


With a few modifications to the source RPM spec file, I was able to get it to build and have it working on RHEL7, not sure if Fedora 21 would need need any of these mods.


Cheers,
Doug
