[sane-devel] Schedule for release of sane-backends 1.0.23

2012-07-18 Thread m. allan noah

You will have to adjust the device permissions, using something like udev, or hal. Unfortunately, the mechanism seems to change frequently with linux distros, so I cannot be more specific. You can look in the sane-backends package that came with the distro, and see what sort of files it installs.
