<P>Fine. Meanwile I added <A HREF="http://www.quasarbbs.com/yuri/sane2.html">http://www.quasarbbs.com/yuri/sane2.html</A> as a link.

Or is there a newer version?

</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>>
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> I planed to use the .desc files for this purpose. This way all
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> available backends appear on the web page, and the users will be able
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> to find the backend if it exists. I believe every available backend
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> should be listed on the web page, even if they are old and close to
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> useless.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<P>I think we should add .descs and entries to the project file. I sent email
|
|
<BR>
|
|
to all the maintainers of backends I found in www. I will add these if they
|
|
<BR>
|
|
don't object to this.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I also added entries in PROJECTS for the backends with existing .descs which
|
|
<BR>
|
|
are not yet included in SANE.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I sent email to the other addresses in the PROJECTS file to ask if the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
entries are current or can be updated/removed.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P><EM>> Adding the .desc file is the least we can do for authors working on
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> sane backends, and they should only be removed if the backend source
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> is no longer available, or the author wants to take it away. Because
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> of this, I was a bit surprised when the musteka4s2.desc file as
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> removed. Was the removal coordinated with the author of the
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> musteka4s2 backend?
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<P>The mustek_pp backend supports the scanner(s) supported by the musteka4s2
|
|
<BR>
|
|
backend (and some more I think). The original maintainer didn't have time to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
work on his backend so Jochen Eisinger wrote a new backend based on
|
|
<BR>
|
|
musteka4s2. I think he has changed and added a lot. I proposed to name this
|
|
<BR>
|
|
backend mustek_pp instead of musteka4s2 to avoid confusion. The backend
|
|
<BR>
|
|
supports the Mustek parallel port scanners. This series of scanners is
|
|
<BR>
|
|
called A4S2 (possibly ISO A4, series 2) but the ScanExpress SCSI models have
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the same name. If someone really wants to use the older msuteka4s2 backend
|
|
<BR>
|
|
he will find a link to it from the mustek_pp page.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P><EM>> There is also a BeOS port and frontend which should be listed in
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> PROJECTS. I'm not sure about the URL, but I did find it earlier using
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> google.com.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<P>I added this together with the link

|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I will wait for some answers to the emails before comitting a new version.
