Is it? The Debian package pages seem to show only various cuts of a 1.0.25 version in the testing and unstable distributions at this time. As far as I can tell, there hasn't yet been an effort to pick up 1.0.27 for Debian. Unless Debian has done something horrid with version numbers (picking up 1.0.27 and still calling it 1.0.25-something-or-other) I don't think that it's there yet. Unfortunately, this may leave Curtis with only two choices: go back to Ubuntu, or struggle through the blood, sweat, toil, and tears of learning how to actually build the sane-backends code from source.

So do we all, at first. "Experience gained is directly proportional to equipment destroyed" (or "smoke released" or "glassware broken" or "days in the clinic getting the fumes washed out of our lungs" or like that). :-) All I can offer is what's up on the developer-information pages at the sane-project.org web site. That's where I started when I needed to fix a few broken things in the Avision back-end last year. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
