Hello!
Since I'm testing cooker, I sometimes try to upgrade the software.
It's the case of xsane, for example: I've just made a working 0.74 for
previous package was 0.72, my scanner didn't work with it and I tried to
upgrade, so now the (S)RPM is build, I was wondering: can I give it to
developer somewhere? It could be useful to save someone's work, I suppose. I
did it:
1. downloaded 0.74.tar.gz
2. converted to .tar.bz2
3. rpm -Uvh 0.72.src.rpm and moved 0.74.tar.bz2 in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES
4. Modified "xsane.spec" (changelog & version)
5. rpm -ba xsane.spec
6 ...installed and tested
I don't know if it's right, or if I can learn somewhere how to contribute,
but I really would like to help! ;o)
