Hi, Yesterday when I had a look at our bug tracker for any issues in my code I found https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&group_id=30 186&aid=315004&atid=410366 This is an issue for scanbd integration that requires more flexibility for configuration of dll-loading: when scanbd is used users need to use the net backend only, but scanbd/saned need to be fed with the "normal" list of backends. I made a patch to dll.c where - It used the dll.conf with the name pointed out by env. var SANE_CONFIG_FILE if defined, if not - it tries to load a dll2.conf if it exists. This is meant to be a file dropped in thre sane config dir by scanbd. If that does not exist - it follows the existing code path. I added a #include statement in the config file so dll2.conf can include dll.conf if so required. I am in the process of testing and cleaningup. but my question is: should I commit this change so close to the freeze date? Documentation is still to be done, but I would still have 2 weeks for that. Alan, what do you think? cheers, Louis -- 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
