[sane-devel] [sane-announce] XSane source code now hosted at GitLab.com

[Kelly Price]

And this is where I'm glad I run a source-compiled distro (Gentoo).

I have the last latest release source (xsane-0.999) and some patches
developed by the Gentoo staff/volunteers.  That may help out with
cleaning things up.  Here's the links from a mirror:

http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/distfiles/xsane-0.999.tar.gz
http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/distfiles/xsane-0.998-patches-2.tar.xz
http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/distfiles/xsane-256x256.png

You'll probably want to look at the patch set, which may help out with
your cleaning.
