 I put the topic up for discussion on the mailing list.

 Regarding replacing the printing system, we also do it manually via a JET custom_scripts on installation (because we have had problems with the stock Solaris printing system). It's a bit more invasive though as we pkgrm a couple of more packages. It's a workaround, but serves us well.

# Substitute stock Solaris 10 cups installation with OpenCSW
# cups. Plain cups submitted all file types as text/plain
# to our Cups server (might have changed) ...

# pkgrm pkgs one by one. If we would pkgrm all at once and

 cupsclient_ln is in testing.

skayser: your script needs an update:

mkdir -p /opt/csw/etc/cups

to

mkdir -p /etc/opt/csw/cups

Or, with the latest cupsclient package update, you don't need this line at all.

 Doesn't seem like it's going to be released. Dago, what do we do with this one?

 I say we use a the prefix CSWsunwcups and make a new catalog "sunwreplace" or similar on mirror.opencsw.org and collect everything until we have the new release-and-staging in place.

 There doesn't seem to be an agreement how to do this. Other repository, or other prefix - these things have to be decided first. I'll close this bug for now. If you have the power to spearhead and solve underlying issues (how to provide substitute symlinks in general), please reopen this bug. The code for the package is there in the repo, I'll respin and release it.
