Commit 134d2d0 (back in 2010) already
did this one before, in Fedora 14, in order to eliminate a large user of
perl from the default install. It seems to have been accidentally
re-added, without explanation when Fedora 15 was branched.

This made sense to do in 2010, and it only makes more sense now. As
before, we keep foomatic-db and the PPDs. We lose support for some
ancient printers, but we also drop a perl dependency and some 50 or 60
RPMs (mostly in the form of perl libraries).

I think you should also be demoting foomatic-db-ppds too as does that work without the base foomatic installed. Otherwise makes sense

lis commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure I agree. My understanding is that the PPDs are still usable without the foomatic scripts. I'm happy to make the change as requested, but I'm not sure it's necessary.

pbrobinson commented 3 years ago

Would be useful to verify and ensure the details are outlined in the commit

Okay. I looked into this a bit more. All the drivers that I thought I was getting via foomatic-db-ppds were actually coming from Gutenprint.
