Search for "release" and/or freeze in the archive. Or check the Changelog in CVS for messages like this: ****** Release of sane-backends 1.0.12. End of code freeze ****** > I wanted to commit into CVS some changes about the hp5400 backend. > Is there a CVS freeze at the moment or may I do it ? You can commit whatever you want :-) By the way, I changed backend/Makefile.in to not link hp5400 to sanei_config2.lo. That shouldn't affect your backend because you don't use that code at all. > And before that, is there a compile farm or some kind of, to verify > at least it compiles ok on various platforms before commiting it ? If you like, you can use the Hewlett Packard test drive at testdrive.hp.com. They have several Linux, *BSD, Tru64, and HP/UX machines. But setting this up to work at least semi-automatically requires quite some work and some non-linux Unix knowledge :-/ So if you don't want to invest some time into learning how crappy^h^h^h^h^h^h differnt from Linux some systems are, compiling with Linux (and maybe a BSD if you have it) is ok. I'm using the testdrive from time to time and will complain if something doesn't work. > PS2: I have been messing around a lot before finding the DEBUG_NOT_STATIC > trick to avoid the missing symbol sane_debug_hp5400_call !!! The debug macros ARE complex if you use more than one compilation unit. Bye, Henning
