[Slackbuilds-users] [hplip-plugin] updated without my say-so, but someone who used my name and email.

[Arnaud]

Hi,

	there's recently been an update sent for hplip-plugin, using the web
form, with the name and email I use for my slackbuilds (which are not exactly
the ones I use for my pull requests...).

	I didn't send that update.

	That update was not warranted, as it effectively breaks hplip usage of
its plugin, and printers/scanners will stop working.
On a stable slackware-15.0.

The update sent was to match the version of hplip used by -current.
The main SBo repository is not for -current.
Ponce maintains a secondary repository for -current, with updates there:
https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds.git

	hplip-plugins needs to be the exact same version as hplip for it to work.
I have tested it again before sending that email : a printer or scanner
requiring the plugin (I have one at home) will not be installable using a wrong
plugin, and will stop working if the plugin is updated (And work again without
further ado when the plugin is reverted).
	Hence this slackbuild shouldn't see any update between releases, except
if there is a security update for hplip on -stable branch.


	Also, after some careful thought, I find that I dislike profoundly that
someone used my name and email for an unwarranted update.


	That is not the way to do things, and even as I know I've been slow
lately, even being very (very) long to answer some emails, I have not received
any email, request, or whatever, from the person who did that.
I would have pointed him on the right direction.
And I really hope the person responsible didn't push other unwarranted updates
through the web form, which could be a way for a malevolent person to insert a
security breach, completely anonymously.

	- A.
