<EM>&gt; &gt; What about OS/2 support? Is Jeff Freedman really working on this? URL?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I believe Yuri Dario is working on this at the moment. I event tried
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to integrate his patches into the distribution, but did not find time
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to complete this. In addition to using sanei_config_read(), the OS/2
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; port needs wrappers for all calls to fork(), and a simple network fix.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I hope we get it in before 1.0.4.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<P>Ok, if it is a relative simple change we can include it in the sourcecode.
<BR>
We already had a discussion about that about one year ago:
<BR>
The sane distribution we have is one implemented for unix.
<BR>
If it is necessary to do hard changes on this distribution, especally in
<BR>
all backend sourcecodes, it would be better to create a new
<BR>
distribution.
<BR>
<P>But I think it should be possible to change the backends that we can compile
<BR>
all backends for unix, OS/2 and may be (some day) win32, beos, macos,....
<BR>
But all changes in a backend sourcecode have to be done by the
<BR>
author/maintainer of the backend.
<BR>
Is there already a working sanei_ routine for it? I know there is a
<BR>
fork-wrapper,but does it work?
<BR>
<P><P><EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [Oliver Rauch]
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; We also should leave/add the backends that are not included into
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; sane, don`t matter if they are two years old. It is better to start
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; from a 2 year old code than to start from ZERO.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I planed to use the .desc files for this purpose. This way all
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; available backends appear on the web page, and the users will be able
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to find the backend if it exists. I believe every available backend
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; should be listed on the web page, even if they are old and close to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; useless.
</EM><BR>
<P>If we use desc files from backends that are not part of the package
<BR>
we should add a field to the desc files that indicates if a backend is
<BR>
included in the package!!!
<BR>
<P>But if I want to start a project I look what is in the sane-package
<BR>
and take a look at the PROJECTS file. I do not take a look at the
<BR>
hompage. So we should add all projects that are not in the sane-package
<BR>
to the PROJECTS file, not only via desc-files to the homepage.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I was a bit surprised when the musteka4s2.desc file as
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; removed. Was the removal coordinated with the author of the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; musteka4s2 backend?
</EM><BR>
<P>Don`t know, who removed the file?
<BR>
<P>Bye
