|

| 42 | <para><application>SANE</application> is short for Scanner Access Now Easy.
|
|---|
| 43 | Scanner access; however, is far from easy, since every vendor has their own
|
|---|
| 44 | protocols. The only known protocol that should bring some unity into this
|
|---|
| 45 | chaos is the TWAIN interface, but this is too imprecise to allow a stable
|
|---|
| 46 | scanning framework. Therefore, <application>SANE</application> comes with
|
|---|
| 47 | its own protocol, and the vendor drivers can't be used.</para>
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | <para><application>SANE</application> is split into back ends and front
|
|---|
| 50 | ends. The back ends are drivers for the supported scanners and cameras. The
|
|---|
| 51 | front ends are user interfaces to access the backends.</para>
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | &lfs74_checked;
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | <!-- The upstream web site has the md5sums for the tarballs:
|
|---|
| 56 | http://www.sane-project.org/sane-md5sums.txt.
|
|---|
| 57 | But they do not provide the tarballs, so, the following paragraph
|
|---|
| 58 | seems not applicable, starting with sane-backends-1.0.24.tar.gz.
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | This note is not applicable. First, there is no issue downloading the
|
|---|
| 61 | ftp://ftp2.sane-project.org/pub/sane/sane-backends-1.0.23.tar.gz
|
|---|
| 62 | tarball with wget. Next, the combined tarball exists on the SANE FTP
|
|---|
| 63 | site, but the MD5sum is wrong. We can simply point the download to
|
|---|
| 64 | the SANE FTP site and create our own MD5sum (as we do on many packages).
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | <note><para>The upstream web site uses a self signed security
|
|---|
| 67 | certificate. If using <command>wget</command>, the option -no-check-certificate
|
|---|
| 68 | needs to be added.</para>
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | <para>The md5sum of the backend file does not match unless the three parts
|
|---|
| 71 | of the divided tarball on the upstream server,
|
|---|
| 72 | sane-backends-1.0.23.tar.gz.[1-3], are combined. A combined tarball with
|
|---|
| 73 | the correct md5sum is located at <ulink
