#52245: cups-pdf mainly broken on El Capitan OS X 10.11

 Reporter:  leonfauster@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect         |     Status:  new
 Priority:  High           |  Milestone:
Component:  ports          |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:  broken         |       Port:  cups-pdf
---------------------------+--------------------------------
 Context:
 {{{
 $ sw_vers
 ProductName:    Mac OS X
 ProductVersion: 10.11.6
 BuildVersion:   15G1004
 }}}

 SIP (its active by default) (SIP:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Integrity_Protection):
 {{{
 $ csrutil status
 System Integrity Protection status: enabled.
 }}}

 {{{
 $ port version
 Version: 2.3.4
 }}}

 {{{
 port info cups-pdf
 cups-pdf @2.6.1
 }}}



 First issue:

 /opt/local/libexec/cups-pdf_links.sh is not allowed to create a link (SIP
 enforcement)

 Disabling the SIP and executing the script creates link. But this is far
 away from
 usability of this port (disabling the SIP includes booting in recovery
 mode).


 ----


 Main issue:

 Anyway, the rootless/sandbox feature of El Capitan denies Cups seeing this
 "printer".


 Measures done without success (single action and/or in different
 combination):

 1. Correction of permissions
 {{{
 # chown -R root:wheel /opt/local/libexec/cups/
 # chown -R root:wheel /opt/local/share/cups/model
 }}}

 2. Circumvent linkage
 {{{
 # cp /opt/local/libexec/cups/backend/cups-pdf /usr/libexec/cups/backend/
 # cp /opt/local/share/cups/model/CUPS-PDF.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/
 }}}

 3. Relaxing Cups
 {{{
 $ grep Sandbox /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
 Sandboxing relaxed
 }}}

 4. Disabling SIP
 {{{
 # csrutil disable
 }}}
