Hi everybody,
<BR>
<P>I'm currently maintaining the Plustek parallelport scanner project.
<BR>
We'd like to put the Plustek backend into the sane project.
<BR>
<P>The problem is, that the Plustek driver consists of two parts.
<BR>
- a backend part
<BR>
- a kernel module part
<BR>
<P>As sane is supposed to be portable and to support several
<BR>
platforms, a Linux kernel module shouldn't be part of the
<BR>
distribution.
<BR>
<P>How can this dilemma be solved ?
<BR>
<P>In my opinion there are two possibilities:
<BR>
<P>1. Split up the project and distribute the kernel module separately
<BR>
2. Rewrite the kernelmodule and merge it to the backend-code by
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;using the sane parallelport functions (I'm not sure if this will work)
<BR>
<P>Any other suggestions ?
<BR>
<P>Gerhard
<BR>
<P><PRE>
