[Openicc] CUPS, colord, Oyranos, printer color management

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello to all,
Just some questions from a endusers sight:

g-c-m / colord and Oyranos are two differnt projects and also differnt 
philosophies for handling profile device matching and color management 
policies on system level.

The enduser should know, that he should decide, to use one of this 
solutions, but should not try to use them simultanious on one machine.

If both solutions use their own CUPS patch for handling device / profile 
matching with connection to CUPS, there is no need, that both CUPS 
patchs are coordinated.

Both projects may need a some form of cooperation if we adress the use 
case, that vendors of printers or printing media want to ship profiles 
with embedded metadata for device matching, which could be used both 
inside g-c-m / colord or Oyranos.

If such agreement has been coordinated through the OpenICC list, both 
CUPS patches for both projects could be updated individually, if needed.

Best regards
Jan-Peter
