Re: Let's get rid of deprecation warnings

[Iñigo Martínez <inigomartinez gmail com>]

Hi,

As a side comment, when porting g-c-c to meson, I also added support for `_PPD_DEPRECATE=""` macro definition, which should be added if CUPS' version is higher than `1.6`. However, this triggered a lot of errors, so although it's present in meson's build files[0], this compiler flag is not applied.

I suppose this should also be checked within this task. I wanted to figure out what is actually happening, but lately I haven't had much time.

Best regards,

I would consider removing deprecations to be a part of basic
maintenance work that should be done at somewhat regularly.
So, seems like a good idea to me.
