Fixed in: cups-1.6.3-6.fc19 cups-1.7-0.24.rc1.fc20
when do maintainers realize that the last thing a reporter want to hear if he submits a bug for F18 "fixed in F19 and F20" - damned the reporter is interested in this fix and can hardly use a package from F+1 to test and verify so *the first* build on koji has to be the Fedora version for which the bug is reported
what about F18 hence i do not need CUPS at all except 5 times a year, it runs only because the stupidity fire up all sort of services like cups/avahi after graphical Login via dbus and masking results in spitting /var/log/messages full because failed starts so if there are unused processes on my system they have to be hardened and by the way would it be a godd idea if maintainers read the packaging guidelines and verify their builds *before* release
and where is the F19 package? in the meantime upgraded to Fedora 19 updates-testing enabled as all the time no cups-1.6.3-6.fc19 package cupsd 23452 Partial RELRO Canary found NX enabled PIE enabled cups-1.6.3-4.fc19.x86_64
