[sane-devel] As instructed by /etc/udev/rules.d/libsane.rules

[Alesh Slovak]

OK, so this thread has sort of exploded.

So the idea so far, is that we want to install the udev/HAL rules generation 
tool (with some possible modifications) along with all the .desc files.

We also need to provide some standard location for third parties to place their 
.desc files, because the rules will need to be regenerated if say, SANE is 
upgraded. Perhaps a sub-directory under /usr/share/sane?

While this does not address the root of the problem as Johannes indicates, it 
should fix one aspect of it and hopefully reduce the number of permissions 
related questions SANE and distros get from users while allowing epkowa and 
other third parties to safely and reliably support any distribution that 
actually implements these changes.

Happy scanning,
