Description Anton Bolshakov 2007-03-30 23:49:43 UTC
Several major problems have been fixed in this version.
Here is the list:

Major changes (0.2.2 to 0.3):
=============================

* support for any device which is working with the binary driver
* avoid fingerprint device from heating up
* new debugging option '--enable-usb-debug' (see INSTALL)
* PAM debug support (see INSTALL)
* compatibility to biometric identification records of the
  binary driver

For details please have a look at the complete ChangeLog:

* http://thinkfinger.svn.sf.net/viewvc/*checkout*/thinkfinger/ChangeLog?revision=108

I suggest to add 'debug' use flag for the "--enable-usb-debug" option


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 John Schember 2007-04-02 02:43:00 UTC
One thing to note with this the 0.3 release is it requires uinput to be either compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module. The ebuild should check/reflect it.

It's located in
Device Drivers
  Input Device Support
    Miscellaneous Devices
      User level driver support

ebuild for 0.3

I'm attaching an ebuild for 0.3 that has a debug flag and that checks for the module in pkg_postinst if pam is enabled.
Comment 3 Anton Bolshakov 2007-04-06 01:15:07 UTC
Olivier,

it's a bit unusual to see that check in the pkg_postinst section.
I'm not sure what says gentoo's policy about it.
Won't it be more logical to move it into setup section?..

Thanks

I found that it would be helpful to quote where the setting is located as shown above rather than asking for which setting inside the .config is required when displaying the notice inside the ebuild.
