The Testing Area :: August Extensions

A major new extension providing hplip is now posted in testing.
Many thanks to Juanito for this.

I have posted part of his submission email here to explain the various parts.

1. hplip.tar.gz - the main programs (cups, espgs, hplip), libs, foomatic, fonts, etc
2. python-2.3.uci - v2.3.6 with the latest security updates
3. hplip_etc.dsl - conf files to be loaded once to /etc then added to backup
4. hplip_ppd.tar.gz - ppds to be loaded once then appropriate printer(s) added to backup
5. hplip_site-packages.tar.gz -files shared by hplip & python

Please read the info files for proper use.

New updates to previously submitted extensions:
screen.uci - Thanks lucky13
mplayer.uci - Thanks J.S.
wine-0.9.4x.uci - Thanks J.S.
rtorrent.uci - Thanks J.S.

Read the info files.

This pertains to an older extension still in Testing. Gaim is described as "Konsole termninal program." It should be described as a GTK2(.10.9) AIM/MSN/etc client.

The info on screen.uci states it is version 4.0.3
The latest version on the GNU mirrors is 4.0.2 (2004)
Is this a development version, or "unofficial" patched version?
