Running a local GForge, I noticed the same and checked it out. In my
case it turned out to be a cron job that zaps whatever CVSROOT/config
is there and replaces it with a hardcoded one. The script in question
is deb-specific/cvs_dump_update.pl and the job runs every 30 minutes.
I'm not sure Alioth uses an out-of-the-box GForge, but you may want to
contact the Alioth maintainer(s) or file a bug report. I've attached
a diff of my local kludge.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [sane-devel] HP 7450c problem
Message-ID: <20050722050441.ga10...@ahlfors.math.tifr.res.in>
Hello,
recently I purchased an HP 7450c scanner with ADF and XPA (for
negatives and transparencies). Here is the information of my PC:
Operating system: Linux
Kernel version: 2.6.11.2
Distribution: Debian testing (codename etch)
Connection: USB, libusb version 0.1
Sane backends version: 1.0.15
Sane backend: avision
Sane frontends version: 1.0.13
Xsane version: 0.97
The problem is that neither the ADF nor the XPA work. The ADF (option
chosen in xsane) does not load the documents, while the XPA
(transparency option in xsane) does not start the light of the XPA
attachment, so no negative/slide scanning can be done.
I have tested the scanner with the HP software and everything works,
regular scanning, the light of the XPA and the ADF loads all pages.
Any suggestions?
Regards, Pablo Ares.
