Hi, Currently all description files (backend/*.desc) are parsed by tools/sane-desc.el and included in one HTML page: doc/sane-backends.html (see http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html). Backends not yet included are marked by a version in round brackets.
I would like to split this list to one that includes the backends included in SANE (updated with every release) and one that lists other backends (updated when changes occur). Here are examples of such pages: http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/tmp/sane-backends.html http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/tmp/sane-backends-external.html At http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/tmp/desc.dif there is a patch against current CVS. Apply with cd sane-backends; patch -p1 <desc.dif The patch does the following things: - move internal descriptions from backend/*.desc to doc/descriptions - move external descriptions from backend/*.desc to doc/descriptions-external - modify tools/sane-desc.el(.in) to include the SANE version in the HTML page, add link to external backends page, remove info about "(version)" scheme - add tools/sane-desc-ext.el: similar to sane-desc.el, but ignores version and manpage tags and has no status :new. - update configure, configure.in, tools/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in appropriately. Comments? Bye, Henning
