Thank you, Olaf and sane-backend developers for the 1.0.31 release. I especially appreciate that this release includes a ./configure script in the source .tar.gz archive and, for my purposes, that Michael Niewohner's avision fix made it in.
Now that 1.0.31 is out, I am wondering what the preferred way is for submitting minor contributions. I was thinking that perhaps I should submit a pull request from github to the master branch, but I am thinking that I should wait until 1.0.31 is merged into master, assuming that that is the plan. Trying this myself, I see that git can merge 1.0.31 into master without requesting human intervention, and the resulting tree builds and works with my Xerox DocuMate 152 (avision driver), which is not the case with the master branch currently. I am also thinking that, not having much experience with sane development, I will first post my proposed changes here for comment, even if they might seem a bit trivial. I expect I will start with that, but would welcome any instructions to do otherwise if there is some more preferred way to go about this. Thanks in advance for any advice on this. Adam
