I know you guys don't build the RPM distributions of SANE, but perhaps<br>
you could influence whomever is building them to:<br>
<p>
PACKAGE THE D*** FRONT ENDS!<br>
<p>
Being a fairly new RedHat user with a UMAX scanner I was anxious to<br>
get working, I downloaded the RPM of SANE 1.00. Much to my chagrin it<br>
(and now also the new 1.01 build) does not include the scanimage,<br>
xscanimage, saned, and xcam front ends.<br>
<p>
This is ridiculous since you can't do a darn thing with SANE without<br>
having a front end.<br>
<p>
To make a long story short, I downloaded the SANE sources and compiled<br>
everything myself. It all works fine, now, but building SANE was a<br>
challenge because I hadn't installed all of the necessary libraries<br>
for compilation. Having to do this defeats the primary reason for<br>
even offering an RPM distribution of SANE.<br>
<p>
Otherwise, thanks for a great piece of work.<br>
<p>
