--- Comment #26 from Johannes Meixner ---
I provide sane-backends version git20150108 RPMs an unstable
development source only for testing, without any guarantee or
warranty, and without any support in my openSUSE build service
home project "home:jsmeix".
The sane-backends-git20150108 sources contain in the ChangeLog file:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2014-12-16 m. allan noah <kitno455 at gmail dot com>
* sanei/sanei_usb.c: add calls to sanei_usb_set_altinterface in
sanei_usb_close and sanei_usb_clear_halt- hopefully work around
USB3/xhci problems in Linux.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please carefully read
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:jsmeix
You can get the packages in the "home:jsmeix" project
for example for openSUSE 13.2 via this direct URL
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/openSUSE_13.2/
When you like to upgrade an installed sane-backends 1.0.23 or 1.0.24
to sane-backends development version git20150108 you need to install
version git20150108 with plain rpm using "--force" e.g. like
# rpm -Uhv --force sane-backends-git20150108-2.1.x86_64.rpm
because for rpm the version number git2015010 is lower than
the installed version number 1.0.23 or 1.0.24.
For my scanner that uses the plustek driver sane-backends development
version git20150108 still works for me. This only means that
sane-backends development version git20150108 is not totally broken
but it does not mean that sane-backends development version git20150108
can also be used for your particular scanner at your particular computer.
Caution:
When you try it out and your scanner makes bad-sounding noises
the usual reason is that the scanner's internal moving parts
"do bad things" which means the scanner hardware could get damaged.
Perhaps you are a venturous openSUSE user who likes to try out
if sane-backends development version git20150108 works for you?
If you like to try it out, please report whether or not it works for you.
Many thanks in advance for testing it and for your feedback!
