What a strange comment. Gutenprint-5.0.0 (the first stable release) was
released on 30th July 2006, and built in rawhide three days later.
Release candidates had been in rawhide for a few weeks already at that
point.
I'll let the history stand on its own merits, Tim. I had to build gutenprint
from the tarballs in order to be able to print at all in FC2, and again in
FC6, in order to get working, usable on a day in day out basis support for an
epson C-82 printer that was bought new in 2002. My printer was in fact the
test bed printer for gutenprint-5.02 borderless operations. Back then we
tangled, on this list I believe, because fedora was still shipping gimp-
print-4.2.6, which was by then (early FC6 days) 4, maybe 5 years out of date.

To any truly impartial person, it would be obvious that I am always right.
