Description glennpj 2003-08-16 19:20:08 UTC 
	CUPS writes out a new /etc/printcap file when the scheduler is 
	started.  There is no version string in the new printcap file for 
	mergemaster to compare with so mergemaster always sees the printcap 
	file as needing to be updated.  The attached patch adds an 
	IGNORE_PRINTCAP option to mergemaster.

The canonical way to handled this type of situation is to create 
an MM_PRE_COMPARE_SCRIPT to handle it, and reference that script 
in your ~/.mergemasterrc. The man page describes how to do that.
