Description jochen 2004-05-12 09:00:56 UTC 
in the latest ebuild you've added --enable-parport-directio, this option is only ment for systems that do not support libieee1284. even worse, it disables libieee1284 support for some backends. with directio only user root can scan. please remove this flag for architectures that support libieee1284

Since spock suggested setting this action, I would like him to comment on this. What's the suggested solution? Another local USE flag?

Masked -r3 for now.

Spock? Are you reading this?

Yup, sorry for answering so late, but I was away for a few days (and I forgot to send an info-msg to -core). I've double-checked this and it turned out that after all, with some tweaking I was able to make my scanner work with only the libieee1284 compiled. So as for the --directio option, I'd vote on either removing it completely, or making a local USE flag for it. Sorry about the fuss with it.

Ok, removed the ebuild with this problem.
