[media-kit] Autogen scanning software `media-gfx/xsane` #93

Open cuantar opened 3 months ago

cuantar commented 3 months ago

The ebuild for xsane needs maintenance. We should autogen this package and can get the source from Github here: https://github.com/nphilipp/xsane

geaaru commented 3 months ago

A working workaround is to use media-gfx/simple-scan. The Gnome application alternative of xsane.

It seems this the upstream right website: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane

xsane installed for me, but I don't have a scanner device to test atm. @cuantar are you still having a problem with it?

I compared our xsane-0.999-r4 to gentoo's -r6 ebuild and the only additional fix they have is for clang16 


xsane-0.999 (c) 1998-2013 Oliver Rauch

This package is modified from the original version.
Please contact your vendor or report problems at
http://bugs.gentoo.org

  E-mail: Oliver.Rauch@xsane.org
  package xsane-0.999
  compiled with GTK-2.24.32
  without GIMP support
  XSane output formats: jpeg, pdf(compr.), png, pnm, ps(compr.), tiff, txt```

Ideally we would compile with gtk-3 but I'm not sure upstream is there yet.  There is a branch here someone could dig into

Nope, problem is gone! It installed when I tested now. Maybe this was related to the portage mirror variable that we changed in our portage fork. Thanks for reminding me. I think we still should autogen this package; but the original reason for my report is solved.
