Description Veit Nachtmann 2008-06-04 20:21:43 UTC
Not sure where to post this, I feel it should be added to portage.
There are some scanners not supported by the latest stable versions, so this grabs latest snapshot from their CVS (I did it for the Canon PIXMA MP610, and for teh lulz, of corez ^^)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
put both files into ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/media-gfx/sane-backends
execute: ebuild sane-backends-9999.ebuild digest
emerge =sane-backends-9999

Comment 3 Veit Nachtmann 2008-06-04 20:25:26 UTC
forgot to mention: copy the /usr/portage/media-gfx/sane-backends/files directory to your overlay, some files from there are needed...
Comment 4 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-05 10:10:45 UTC
Sorry, but I don't want to add any live ebuild or even CVS snapshots unless something is horribly broken in the released version since I don't have the time to support it. Perhaps http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise/ is a better place for this? Thanks for patching the brother driver patch, this could be a good starting point for the next release.
Comment 5 Luca Santarelli 2008-06-05 17:31:32 UTC
I don't know if this information can be of any use, but I just put both ebuild and diff file (plus the udev-rule-5 patch from the current portage tree) in my local overlay and now my Canon MP520 works fine (up to 2400 DPI resolution).
With the portage stable version (1.0.18-r6) the scanner is detected by sane-find-scanner, but scanimage -L doesn't work.
Comment 6 rogge 2009-01-30 14:31:34 UTC
Since the last CVS-Snapshot you must comment out the "udev-rule-5.patch"-line in
the ebuild file (Line 99).
Otherwise you got an patch-error.
