We should expand the blacklist. We can either explicitly add some of the most common things that are missing (grotty, troff, dircolors, seq, renice, dpkg-*, /usr/lib/aptitude/methods/http and /lib/ld-2.9.so come to mind), or we can be slightly more clever and whitelist whole swaths of things. For example, we really don't care about anything in /bin.

I'd argue we want to we want to ignore anything that ships as part of coreutils, bsdutils, groff-base and probably a few other core packages (i.e. things we could not possibly remove from Athena).

We should also ignore evolution-data-server-* and evolution-alarm-notify.

third/moira/include/Makefile.in does not define $prefix, and $includedir is defined as ${prefix}/include, so moira.h gets installed as /include/moira/moira.h, and thus is not included in the package.

Adding a

prefix=@prefix@

line fixes the problem.

With the transition of the cluster printers to CUPS, lprm and lpq now only works if you talk to the actual CUPS server and not printers.mit.edu. This is a major change in behavior and actively conflicts with documentation and printed instructions in clusters.

Our wrapper script should look up queues in Hesiod and add the appropriate -h flag.

lpq/lprm should possibly also default to --cups mode based on the printer name and not just argument parsing.

This will have the side effect of making lpq output much nicer:
