[Bug 633780] New: sane-backends package lacks mustek_usb2 backend
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633780 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633780#c0 Summary: sane-backends package lacks mustek_usb2 backend Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hnch@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; de) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.61 The sane-backends package lacks /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-mustek_usb2.so.1 and /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-mustek_usb2.so.1.0.21, while config files and man page for this backend are present. This backend is not built because of the message *** mustek_usb2 backend requires pthread library - disabling during the .configure call. --enable-pthread fixes this issue.

From my point of view general reliability for all other models is much more important than one single more supported model.
Therefore I will not use "--enable-pthread", at least not for now. Instead I will remove the mustek_usb2.desc file to avoid that the YaST scanner setup module lists this model. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

sane-backends in Debian has been using pthread since Feb 2009.
I assume there have been no issues because of this (otherwise you would have told us).
Nope, no issues so far.
Now I think about --enable-pthread for the next openSUSE version and if there are bug reports because of this I could switch back to the default.
Threads are actually better from a "least surprise" PoV; big applications are already threaded so it's not an issue for them, small applications aren't threaded so it's usually not a problem here either. fork()ing, on the other hand, can have quite some side-effects. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- see the sane-devel mailing list thread about "pros and cons regarding --enable-pthread for Linux" Therefore for openSUSE 11.4 beta phase I will use "--enable-pthread" and then let's see if we get reports about issues... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
