Bug Description

Binary package hint: foo2zjs

I found in debian/README.Debian file this comment:

  Please understand that I had to delete some files which the author is
  still providing, because I got no source code for them.
  This is necessary to get the package into Debian main.
  If you really need the oakdecode and foo2oak programs please download
  them from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz.
  In addition to that I also deleted all binary files (.e.g. .icm).
  (Type "wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz").
  Then run the following commands:

This comment was made January 2006.

Look, the files that you omit are now _THERE_ in the source form in the newest foo2zjs package, downloaded directly from Rick Richardson's website (http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz) [This is December 2007 edition]:

/data1/wirawan/test/samsung-clp300/linux/foo2zjs $ ls -al|grep oak
-rw-r--r-- 1 wirawan wirawan 7544 2007-03-08 09:59 foo2oak.1in
-rw-r--r-- 1 wirawan wirawan 49716 2007-07-15 10:31 foo2oak.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 wirawan wirawan 9150 2007-03-08 09:59 foo2oak-wrapper.1in
-rw-r--r-- 1 wirawan wirawan 13613 2007-10-26 07:13 foo2oak-wrapper.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 wirawan wirawan 7272 2007-03-08 10:01 oakdecode.1in
-rw-r--r-- 1 wirawan wirawan 16297 2007-10-20 04:27 oakdecode.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 wirawan wirawan 5627 2004-10-21 18:39 oak.h

So please do not omit them anymore from Ubuntu's future version.

I have already reintroduced these files in Hardy:

        linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7e6e000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fd5000)

till@till-laptop:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/oakdecode

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f48000)

So only the documentation (debian/README.Debian) is out of date. Changing bug title ...

foo2zjs (20071205-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Snapshot from Dec 5, 2007
    - Added support for HP LaserJet P1005, P1006, P1505
  * debian/patches/50-buffered-input-for-ghostscript.dpatch: Let Ghostscript
    always use buffered input. This works around a Ghostscript bug which
    prevents printing encrypted PDF files with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and
    Ghostscript built as shared library (Ghostscript bug #689577, Ubuntu bug
    LP: #172264)
  * debian/patches/40-path-correction.dpatch: Regenerated to adapt to new
    foo2zjs version.
  * debian/rules: Added argument to "make install" so that usb_printerid
    goes into /usr/bin and added arguments for new install targets.
  * debian/README.Debian: Updated, as source for foo2oak is supplied now
    (LP: #173380).
