[sane-devel] SANE Backends 1.0.32 released!

Sun Feb 14 18:16:58 GMT 2021

Hi Olaf,

thank you for the info and for the great job. Will this be packaged for
Ubuntu in a PPA or has it already been? My apt doesn't pull it for some
reason. Maybe I have the wrong PPA, what it the correct one?

Regards,

Andrea
