Hi I run Fedora27. I am wondering why CUPS is still cups.x86_64 1:2.2.4-12.fc27
Seems to be pretty old. Why don't you provide updates to a newer version, e.g. 2.2.9 ?
Thank you.
Hi,
Fedora Update Policy dictates what can be updated after stable release: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Update...
Some updates are late in Fedora because of lack of manpower required to provide them. Here's a bit more about requesting newer packages and helping with it: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/ques...
In case of cups, you're free, and even encouraged, to update to newer Fedora editions (F27 will reach EOL and stop receiving any updates with the beginning of November) in order to get newer version (e.g. 2.2.6 in F28 or 2.2.8 in F29): https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packag... So it's not only Fedora community that has to provide updates, but also you need to apply them.
