Hello all, I had to compile and install the epson iscan software (LGPL) for ubuntu since the debs provided by the manufacturer are specific for debian. Like a good dev I made the ubuntu debs available in my repository (main problem, scripts assume sh is bash, all fixed) I also compiled a deb for the plugins which are non-free but licensed with a distribution allowed clause:
https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+ppa-packages This should allow a selection of scanners not currently working by default, to work. I included a hal fdi for putting all the supported scanners in the right security group so you don't have to be root. So my question is, would this be a good thing to add into ubuntu main and multiverse? I'm not a packager or MOTU so the packages are not ideal, but I've had a couple of reports from happy ubuntu users who found my PPA with google searches, some of them were fustrated that they couldn't get their Epson scanner working. Any advice would be very useful.
