foomatic-db-engine: init at unstable-2022-05-03
`foomatic-db-engine` contains several perl scripts to parse
and process XML files from the Foomatic database packages.
It can be used to extract ppd files,
which will be accomplished in a follow-up commit.
The package also contains scripts
to handle print queues and jobs.
It can -- optionally -- talk to the local cups server,
to network printers and to SMB print servers.
The build recipe contains switches to enable these features;
however, they are not needed when generating ppd files.
There is a daily snapshot of a source archive available at
https://www.openprinting.org/download/foomatic/ .
However, these files rotate daily and
cannot be used as a stable download source.
So we rely on OpenPrinting's Github repository
instead and pinpoint a fresh commit.
