Description Brian Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-30 10:08:05 UTC
attached is a patch to add Hewlett Packard ScanJet 3300c3400c/4300c and Agfa 
SnapScan Touch support to sane backends. I only have a 3300c to test with, and it 
works like a charm with xsane after this patch. This is based off of work done by the 
guys at the hp3300 project (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend). I 
don't know how exactly the ebuild should be done, maybe an internal use flag or 
something similar. I just added an epatch line to the ebuild and then reemerged 
sane-backends.  The patch is pretty large, so it might not be okay for it to go into the 
$FILESDIR. I figured you (the genius Gentoo developers) could figure out the best 
course of action. I think this could be a very valuable addition to Gentoo, as I have yet 
to find any distribution that supports this scanner out of the box, which is a shame 
since it was a very cost effective scanner. If you think this is a waste of time at least 
tell me, so I know not to waste my time on it.

there is no patch attached.

Oops, don't know how I missed that. It's okay though, I've got an updated patch that goes 
against the most recent sane source. I'll make sure I attach it this time ;)

mkeadle seems to be gone
Comment 5 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-14 03:29:55 UTC
How likely will this patch be included in the next sane release?
Comment 6 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-14 08:10:04 UTC
Not likely. The project has been out there for a while, and it's still not
included. I don't know what the history is with it not being included, I
just know it hasn't been. Fwiw, I'm still using the patch on a totally seperate
computer, and everything is fine.
Comment 7 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-17 05:50:08 UTC
Had a look at the project homepage - seems the developers consider their
stuff alpha.

How did you produce this patch? Run the "patch-sane.sh" from "testtool" and
diff with normal sane afterwards?
Comment 8 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-17 08:20:58 UTC
Yes, that's exactly how I generated the patch. As far as the status of the
project, they probably never bothered to update that since they started the
project, but whatever... It's not a big deal, I'm perfectly capable of patching
this myself for every sane-backends upgrade.

After reading this: http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#NIASH
I think we should respect the author's wish.
