     27 The printmgr(1M) uses a cache of the foomatic PPD files. This
     28 cache is built here, rather than on install, for performance
     29 reasons. 
     30 
     31 Two files are created by the cache target:
     32 	
     33 	1. ppdunsupported : this is the list of PPD files
     34 	that are not supported by Sun. The reason for the
     35 	lack of support is that Solaris does not deliver
     36 	the printer drivers required by the PPD files.
     37 	These files are delivered, but are not part of the
     38 	printmgr database and will not show up in the printmgr
     39 	menus. The "ppdunsupported" file is not delivered to 
     40 	the customer.
     41 
     42 	2. SUNWfoomatic.cache : this is the cache file used
     43 	by the printmgr. It uses the above file, ppdunsupported,
     44 	to create the PPD cache. This file is installed and 
     45 	delivered to the customer. 
     46 
     47 HOWTO build:
     48 	0. Pull down a new version of foomatic-filters-ppd. 
     49 
     50 	1. Check licenses on all the PPD files. Any files with
     51 	copyrights that do not have a valid license are put in 
     52 	the "nolicense" file and not delivered.  The Makefile 
     53 	adds it to the unsupported list.  Be sure that the 
     54 	files in "nolicencse" are not in the prototype_com file in 
     55 	pkgdefs/SUNWfppd.
     56 
     57 	2. Modify the Makefile.sfw and other files with
     58 	the new version (VER).
     59 
     60 	3. make -f Makefile.sfw install
     61 
     62 	4. Check in SUNWfoomatic.cache
     63 
     64 note: the file ppdsupported is created for convenience only.
     65 Currently, it is not used.
