Hello!

Efraim Flashner <efraim <at> flashner.co.il> skribis:

I’d suggest simply something along the lines of what I tried earlier:

              ;; Starting from version 3.18.9, hplip comes with binary
              ;; blobs under prnt/hpcups and prnt/plugins.  Remove them.
              (for-each delete-file (find-files "." "\\.so$"))

> (substitute* "Makefile.am"$
>   (("dist_printplugins_DATA") "# dist_printplugins_DATA"))

Rather “Makefile.in”, to avoid depending on Automake.

With this patch we should be able to keep 3.18.9, so it looks better
than reverting.

Could you send a patch for this?  (If not Tobias said he can work on it
soon. :-)).

Thanks!

Ludo’.
