Gentoo currently does not provide  a newer version than 1.0.27-r3.   And
if the information I found at

   https://repology.org/project/sane-backends/versions

is correct, neither does Ubuntu.   Anybody knows about a Gentoo equival-
ent to Rolf Bensch's PPA?  Aparently Ubuntu's PPAs translate to Gentoo's
"overlays",  but I have yet  to find a  Gentoo overlay  providing "sane-
backends".  Anybody knows of one?

Sincerely,
  Rainer
