I did not submit anything for pixma_bjnp.c - at least I am not aware of any such submission. What I recently submitted was https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=410366&aid=313858&gr oup_id=30186 with a tentative fix for a complier warning in kodakaio.c "control reaches end of non-void function" i.e. when there is an exit path in a non-void function without returning a value. This issue is considered severe by the openSUSE build system which serches the complier output for warnings which are considered to be actually errors. For another example see https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1017496 "No return in non-void function in scan/sane/hpaio.c" which additionally shows another issue that is considered severe: Pointer and integer mixed up => not 64-bit safe. In such cases the openSUSE build system aborts the build and then I am forced to somehow fix it regardless that usually I do not have the expert knowledge hwo each individual scanner driver works (e.g. what value to return when a non-void function exits without returning a value). Therefore I file a bug report at the "SANE bug tracker" according to http://www.sane-project.org/bugs.html to get the author/maintainer of the particular scanner driver involved so that he can either use my tentative fix as is or provide a real fix based on his expert knowledge. For the external SANE backend "hpaio" I file a bug report at the HPLIP bug tracker, see "Report a Bug" at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/support.html Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH -- Maxfeldstrasse 5 -- 90409 Nuernberg -- Germany HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendoerffer
