Hi, For those of you interested, I've uploaded resmgr 1.0-1 to experimental (must go through NEW, etc.).
I'll upload a version of sane-backends built with resmgr support to experimental when sane-backends 1.0.15 will be released (end of next week, IIRC). I plan to have SANE built with resmgr support for Etch, and I hope other applications will support resmgr too. It can make life a lot easier, and changes to the code are really minimal. Comments, patches and testers welcome. Description (from libresmgr1) : The resource manager library was designed to ease the use of device nodes in desktop setups, where users should be able to access e.g. scanners, CD or DVD burners, etc. . Using a PAM module and a helper daemon, it acts as a proxy between the applications and the actual devices, by-passing permissions problems easily and elegantly. . libresmgr can be integrated with hotplug to add and remove devices on-the-fly.
