John -- Oliver makes a good point, but I come to a different conclusion<br>
than he does :-) Instead of investing your time in building patches to the<br>
source side, and instead of building "dozens of sane binaries" (which, I<br>
realize, was not at all your original suggestion), consider building a<br>
thoughtful RPM -- perhaps one that prompts the user for which backend(s)<br>
they'd like to install.<br>
<p>
Or, perhaps something more like a "SANE Core" RPM, and individual "SANE<br>
backend" RPMs for the different backends. I'd, of course, include the dll,<br>
net, and pnm backends in the "Core" automatically.<br>
<p>
It would be straightforward to build such RPMs straight from a "make rpm".<br>
<p>
Yes, yes, I realize that not everyone is using SANE on Linux systems, or<br>
even non-Linux systems with RPM ports. But, let's be honest, Linux is the<br>
Windows of Unix :-) (which is to say that it's probably the most pervasive<br>
Unix, at least among end-users, which makes it worth supporting). And Red<br>
Hat is the Windows of Linux :-) Okay, end of analogy.<br>
