[Openicc] [Fwd: icm profiles in debian]

[edmund ronald]

Richard,

 I really wonder at this point whether some version of sRGB with a good
license should not be baked into the print system, because if sRGB varies
from distribution to distribution the printing of untagged files becomes
completely random.


 Take your time, discuss this problem and its solution carefully, because
the consequences of "profile du jour", ie. sRGB varying from distribution
to distribution, really stink.
