This package dates to old time (hence the -cvs suffix, which indicates ve= ry young period in formely-known-openbeos haiku development ;) ) when the= printing kit was mainly built as replacement for BeOS systems. I guess t= he package was modeled after the other now-defunct *-cvs packages were th= e server/preflet where not installed automatically in place, the adventur= ous downloader(s) were supposed to do that themselves, taking the respons= ability in the process. =20 Anyway, today, this package doesn't make that sense anymore, even if the = printing kit could still be used as a drop-in replacement for BeOS. If ma= intaining such package still make sense, at least we should rename the su= ffix into "-svn" (r better, -r<revision> !).=20 Bye, Philippe.
