I have also updated the "Testing" section telling that the PPD extension use should be tested with a development snapshot of the Common Printing Dialog. In the section "Setting up the package repositories" I have added a link to the component assignment rules file for the (already linked) "mkrepodeb" script for creating and indexing Debian package archives. In addition, I have updated "mkrepodeb" fixing some bugs. Please re-download it if you have already used it: http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/debian/mkrepodeb You do not need to rebuild or re-index any existing package archives. Till
