I do not know about USB3/xhci, don't have a scanner available to test.

your system should not "explode" when you upgrade with packages from the "graphics" project

No, of course not. :-)

At least from my point of view the graphics repository is not a real "third-party" repository.

And I agree with you. The reason why I said “unstable” and “third-party” is because these are the words that end users see in the openSUSE wiki and on software.opensuse.org when they install this package. The user has to click on a grey text that says “Show unstable packages” and then gets a warning message: “Please be aware that the following packages are from unofficial repositories. That means they are not reviewed by openSUSE and may contain unstable or experimental software.” I understand your reasons for not just packaging it. The current situation is not a show-stopper, but I reported it because it plays into people's (mis)perception that using Linux is a very bad idea unless you're on decrepit obsolete hardware. I got a bit frustrated when I saw that 1.0.25 has been available from upstream for more than a year. However, I did not know about the USB3/xhci issue, and your explanation makes sense. I hope it gets fixed eventually. On the wiki page (HCL:Scanners) I just changed the wording from “third-party” to “openSUSE Graphics Project” and added some noob-friendly instructions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
