Hello developers,
<BR>
<P>this is an update of the todo list. If you find errors or have additions
<BR>
please email me.
<BR>
<P>The plan is to declare code freeze on 2000-08-02 (wednesday). This means,
<BR>
only code that fixes severe bugs should be included into CVS after this
<BR>
date. Please try especially to not break compiling on non-Linux platforms
<BR>
because I am not sure if I have the time to re-check all platforms before
<BR>
release. If you are in doubt about your check-in, please ask me or another
<BR>
maintainer to double-check before including in CVS.
<BR>
<P><P>TODO for 1.0.3 (as of 2000-07-28)
<BR>
&nbsp;
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;* Bug in sane_control_option()
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There was a possible segfault in this function. The pointer &quot;info&quot; was
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;not checked for NULL in all cases. This was found in the mustek, v4l and
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;canon backends and is now fixed. Please check your backends for this
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;bug.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* Fix sane_close bug
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- artec (maintainer is in the process of fixing this)
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* use DBG(...) instead of fprintf(stderr, ...)
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- avision
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- coolscan
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- dc25
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- hp
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- microtek
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- microtek2
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* Test SANE on different os/platforms, fix possible compilation problems
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Test methods: scanimage -d pnm:0 --filename=file.pnm -T
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;scanimage -d net:localhost:pnm:0 --filename=file.pnm -T
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(not possible if I'm not root on the system)
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;xscanimage / gimp with xscanimage plugin (where available)
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All the above with shared and static libraries.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OK: compiling, installing and testing worked
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NO: one (or more) of these steps didn't work
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;?: can't test (e.g. no scanner at this machine or no root access)
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Platform static shared SCSI Net X gimp
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Linux/x86 OK OK OK OK OK OK
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Solaris/Sparc OK OK ? ? ? ?
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AIX/RS6000 OK NO(1) ? ? ? ?
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Irix (2) OK OK ? OK OK OK
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;untested:
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*BSD
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Digital Unix
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HP/UX
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Linux/Alpha
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Linux/...
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;...
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) I can't get to work the compilation of AIX shared libraries. The
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;first problem is that the filename of every library is
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;libsane.so.version not e.g. libsane-mustek.so.version so the
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;libraries overwrite each other. By temporarily removing Olivers
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;soname addition to ltmain.sh the right libraries are compiled
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and installed. Buuut starting scanimage -L results in a segmentation
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;fault. SOmeone with more experience in this field?
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) I had to disable dc210 for Irix because the jpeg libraries on the
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;two Irix systems I tested produced all kinds of problems
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(compilation and linking).
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* check consistency in *.desc (e.g.: interface &quot;Parport&quot; not &quot;Parallel&quot;)
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;look at the file &quot;template.desc.&quot; for examples.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- artec (see above)
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- hp (maintainer was contacted)
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- umax (maintainer was contacted)
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* &quot;:interface&quot; missing in .desc
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- coolscan
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- microtek
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- microtek2 (interface entry for only one scanner?)
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- st400 (interface entry for only one scanner?)
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* Missing manpage entry in .desc
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- coolscan
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* other manpage related
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- coolscan: man page is not installed, README not updated
<BR>
<P>I will try to fix everything I can by monday if the maintainers won't
<BR>
have done this until the weekend.
<BR>
<P>I consider the following points as not release-critical, but they
<BR>
should be done nevertheless:
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* use sanei_config_read() instead of fgets()
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- artec
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- avision
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- canon
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- coolscan
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- dc25
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- m3096g
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- microtek
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- sp15c
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- st400
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- umax
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;* Documentation for sanei API
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- any ideas for this?
<BR>
<P><P>To change before release:
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;* Change default to --disable-warnings
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;* increase version number
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;* remove freeze markers
<BR>
<P><P>Bye,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Henning
