Dear porters, I have ported to OpenBSD as6edriver, that is a linux program to use Artec As6e scanner. the program now works in command line, as root. I haven't tried yet sane backend.
This is my first port, and I am not a security expert. If you are interested in include it in the ports tree I will need someone to help me to check that my patches are ok, because the program reads and writes directly on the lpt port. This is not a long task, just check the bottom lines of the file as6edriver.h *after* having patched it. I took the code used to open ports from the port for openbsd (by Guillaume Filion) of the program lcdproc. the scanner driver uses these ports: port port+1 port+2 port+3 port+4 port+0x402 where "port" is the parallel port (example 0x378) configurable in /etc/as6e.conf to test as6edriver untar in /usr/ports/graphic the file: http://newton.ph.unito.it/~castagni/files/as6edriver-openbsd.tar.gz and make install it Let me know something. Maybe I am the only one on the earth that still use that scanner :D Luca Castagnini
