Details

In this script add_daemon uses $daemon_name which has been set to cups. This is slightly incorrect. Although the name of the script itself is cups, the daemon name is cupsd. Therefore ck_daemon does not report the daemon as running (it is looking for cups while /run/daemons contains cupsd). This breaks the kill_everything routine because cupsd is not found -- cups only quits after shutdown sends a HUP and a TERM to all remaining devices.

Solution:
Rename /etc/rc.d/cups to cupsd (which I favorite for consistency) or change add_daemon/rm_daemon/chk_status's argument from $daemon_name to cups.
This task depends upon

One typo in the first line: add_daemon uses $daemon_name which has been set to cupsd. Not cups.

This also affects the output of "rc.d list" which thinks that cups isn't running when it really is.

So line 108 in the PKGBUILD
install -D -m755 ../cups ${pkgdir}/etc/rc.d/cups
should be changed to
install -D -m755 ../cups ${pkgdir}/etc/rc.d/cupsd ?

Andreas: That seems to fix it. People will need to update their DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf accordingly.

Typos make us look really silly.

(2/2) upgrading cups [######################] 100%
daemon srcript has been renamed to /etc/rc.d/cupsd
change your entry in /etc/rc.conf

"srcript" is not a word.
