Comment:

 XSane is now actively maintained again at [https://gitlab.com/sane-
 project/frontend/xsane] , and factoring Tim mentioned above in, let's re-
 examine this when XSane becomes version 1.0. I'm going to close this for
 now.

 We might want to make a upstream fixes patch though, there have been some
 very nice improvements (like the removal of the license screen on every
 startup).

Comment (by timtas):

 I had a look at it quickly, and it does not look too good for non-gnome
 users:

 - It builds and installs fine with meson/ninja, it asks about packagekit-
 glib2, but is fine without it.

 - It installs  tons of help pages with the  ending .help, which is some
 xml format, probably once useful in some gnome  reader.

 - It cannot be integrated into gimp

 - When calling it, it asks for a device, while xsane auto-detects my HP
 Printer Scanner on my network.



 So, in short: I cannot scan images with simple-scan, and have a fairly
 regular setup, with a hplip supported HP Printer/Scanner, that works
 perfectly fine with xsane. All I get from xsane is:

 Trace/breakpoint trap

 It's probably only useful for usb-attached devices, which is not really
 what people do.

 So, I'm strongly  advocating against dropping xsane and including simple-
 scan, simply because xscan works and simple-scan does not.

Comment:

 Don't let this clog up 9.0's ticket cycle... I'll investigate for 9.1
 assuming we don't finish tagging early.

Comment (by bdubbs):

 I've been using xsane for quite a while, but not frequently.  For my
 modest needs it still works fine. We need to see what the overhead is for
 simple scan and what its features are like.
