Hello,

I’ve patched cups/default.nix to update to CUPS 1.4.2 (from CUPS 1.4.1). The 
reason was the CVE-2009-2820 vulnerability. The new CUPS seems to have been 
built successfully on my machine. However, the whole update process hasn’t 
been finished yet since obviously, the CUPS change triggered a rebuilt of large 
parts of KDE and Qt.

You find the patch attached to this e-mail. By the way, what are the 
preconditions for getting commit rights for the SVN repository?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
