 Please tag cups-1.4.1-12.fc12 for f12-final.  Here are the changes:

 {{{
 * Tue Oct 27 2009 Jiri Popelka <jpopelka at redhat.com> 1:1.4.1-12
 - Fix incorrectly applied patch from #STR3285 (bug #531108).
 - Set the PRINTER_IS_SHARED variable for admin.cgi (bug #529634,
 #STR3390).
 - Pass through serial parameters correctly in web interface (bug #529635,
 #STR3391).
 - Fixed German translation (bug #531144, #STR3396).

 * Tue Oct 20 2009 Jiri Popelka <jpopelka at redhat.com> 1:1.4.1-11
 - Fix cups-lpd to create unique temporary data files (bug #529838).
 }}}

 These changes fix:

 1. the 'lprm' command, which was not working at all
 2. another typo in the German translation
 3. several problems with the CUPS web interface
 4. an issue (seen on Red Hat Enterprise Linux) with cups-lpd under high
 load

 They are all small, targeted fixes, each of which has been individually
 tested.  I'm running cups-1.4.1-12.fc12 here, and a Fedora 11 test update
 is in the process of being pushed.

 Without these fixes the 'lprm' command will be useless, the German
 translation for the web interface will contain errors, the web interface
 will not work at all for serial printers and will be confusing to use with
 any shared printer, and servers running cups-lpd may run into problems
 under high load.

 The cups-lpd fix switches from using the CUPS 'own' temporary file name
 generator to using mkstemp().  The failure condition was that no temporary
 file could be created -- so this is not security related.
