                        Hi gdt@, pkgsrc-changes@,

while I do not object to this change for pkgsrc-2018Q2, I was about to
mention that we should indeed enable cups by default for both x11/gtk2
and x11/gtk3.

For one thing, I have worked on making cups lighter for those who do
not want the extra weight, by creating the print/cups-base package,
which is the only hard dependency for x11/gtk2 and x11/gtk3. I am able
to bring this up because there has been a discussion about this (a
while ago now).

Now, every time I update pkgsrc, printing breaks for me. I have HP
printers (a market leader) and they require CUPS for the open source
driver (print/hplip). Printing with Gtk+ applications (also a common
case) does require CUPS to be usable:
- - LPR is impractical for more than one queue
- - setting options as defined by the PPD only works with CUPS (eg
  black/white, tray, covers...)
There used to be gtklp for the latter, but it's long been deprecated.

I think the users of our binary packages ought to be able to print
without having to build Gtk+ again.

Worse even, I just figured while updating that besides
print/cups-filters (included in the meta-package print/cups) it seems
we also need:
- - the "avahi" option enabled by default in cups
- - wip/colord, which is not up to date nor in pkgsrc

For good measure we should also enable the "sane" option by default in
print/hplip, otherwise it is also not possible to scan.

About CUPS not building on MacOS X, it is ironic since Apple is the
upstream... Any idea what the issue is?

Cheers,
