Have someone else do the dirty work? Seriously, I am willing to look
at converting all the Makefile.in files that are used now to automake
Makefile.am files. Although I am no automake guru (yet?), I do have
quite a bit of experience with it.
The main issue with automake is that it is an all or nothing choice:
either you use it everywhere in your project or you don't. That means
that it probably will take some time before I'm done with the whole
conversion.
What would be the best way to go about this? Doing this in the
experimental module of the CVS repository or create a branch (right
after the release of 1.0.15)? I do have an account at alioth
(olaf-guest) if that is convenient.
As I will be doing this in my free time (not as part of my work), it
would be convenient for me to be subscribed to sane-devel (and
sane-commit?) at home as well. I have tried to do this (several times
already) but have not been successful because of a problem with
alioth' mail setup (see #300612).
Henning, could you please subscribe olaf@member.fsf.org to sane-devel
and sane-commit?

I just received a patch for iscan from myself ;-) that updates this
file. Better put, it completely rewrites the thing. I know about
the timing issue but since I would like to get it included in the
new release as well ...
Anyway, I've attached the new epkowa.desc. It is based on the latest
iscan release (iscan-1.11.0) which came out October 29, 2004. The new
release adds support for:
- PM-A700
- PM-A870
- PX-A550
- Stylus CX3500
- Stylus CX3600
- Stylus Photo RX420
- Stylus Photo RX430
That's all,
