Olaf, thanks for info. I will submit change request as patches to the repository.
I believe most changes are straight forward and require only the simplest review. glen -----Original Message----- From: Olaf Meeuwissen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 9:46 PM To: Petrie, Glen Cc: sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org Subject: Re: [sane-devel] SANE Integration with LSB Hi Glen, Petrie, Glen writes: > I am not sure who in the SANE group to send this to; but I am hoping the SANE > group will accepted the proposed changes to enable SANE integration into the > LSB 5.0. > > I have successfully compiled and linked SANE under the LSB and submitted the > SANE modification to the SANE bug tracker. I've quickly looked over the files that are in the attachment to #313854[1]. The configure and build logs are not particularly helpful other than illustrating what warnings exist. The requested changes in SANE.Modification.for.LSB.Integration.txt are in a format that make them very unlikely to be applied. Glen, to improve your chances of these changes to be applied provide them as patches to the latest code in git, one for each issue you want addressed. Many of the backend developers are volunteers. If applying a fix takes more than reviewing a changeset and feeding it to patch (or git am), it is not likely to get applied. In another post you mentioned downloading the daily build but you can save yourself a lot of hassle by just cloning the git repository[2] and work from there. If you're unfamiliar with git, the first two chapters of the Pro Git book[3] are more already than you need to get going.
