All- I have just pushed commit 1207ce5a40664c04b934bd0a6babbc1575361356 to sane-backends git repo.
This is a simplistic attempt to make our existing workaround for Linux USB problems into a user choice. The default for this setting is now off, unlike sane-backends 1.0.25, where the workaround was always enabled. By setting the new environment variable SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1, the existing workaround will be enabled. This does represent a change in behavior, but seems to be the proper default given increasing numbers of user reports of problems with recent Linux kernels. If you are currently having issues with sane-backends after a kernel or OS upgrade, please test this latest commit, and report your findings. If you are not having problems, we would still like to hear if this code works for you with the workaround not enabled. This will likely become the default for the next release, please help us verify its correctness. This patch should apply cleanly to 1.0.25, if distros want to try exposing this to their users. allan -- "well, I stand up next to a mountain- and I chop it down with the edge of my hand" -- sane-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to [email protected]
