Hi,
This is the TODO list from CVS. I consider at least the
config_line[len -1] and the exported symbol issues as
release-critical, that means, they must be fixed before release.
If the maintainers won't fix the config_line thing, I will do it
sometime during the next week.
Bye,
Henning
TODO (2001-05-26)
******** todo ********
backends
--------
* Configuration problems:
- add options "--exec-prefix=...." and "--prefix=..." compareable
to gtk-config
- add warning when prefix dir is not listed in /etc/ld.so.conf on
linux systems may be there is a general way to test this if the
destination library directory is in the search path of the
linker. [The correct fix is to use -R (on Solaris) and -rpath
(on the rest?) to include the dynamic link path in the binaries
/ libraries. pere 2001-02-09]
* Add new backends (?)

* Update backends
- Combine all the Fujitsu backends into one single backend
* Use DBG(...) instead of fprintf(stderr, ...) or printf
- microtek
* Check net/saned
- sometimes saned+net freezes right after a scan
- don't just ignore the byte-order for the image data (needed to
support depths > 8 bits/channel)
- Add keep-alive mechanism to avoid timeouts
* qcam:
- implement auto mode for brightness and black-level (don't
just advertise it!) Actually, implement an auto "backend" instead
that can be plugged in front of any backend with brightness/contrast
etc controls
- figure out how/if to support bulb mode
- convert to use sanei_pio functions instead of direct port
access.
- Check file handling in /tmp.
* dc210 and jpeg stuff: move sanei_* functions to sanei/ (if they are
necessary).
* nec:
- Remove references to sharp backend (grep for "JX").
- Check for HAVE_SYS_SHM_H before including sys/shm.h and
disable shared memory support if necessary.
* v4l: Problems (crash) with more than one video card. It looks like
the two different cards are identified as the same card.
* Fix backends where sane_exit() do not release memory allocated by
sane_get_devices().

* as6e: attach: memory (dev + dev-sane.name) isn't freed if diver isn't
found.
* avision: line 1393: word isn't freed sometimes (maybe if cp == line?)
* add a contact address for each backend (in backend.desc).
* lines like "if (config_line[len - 1] == '\n')" can cause segfaults and
should be removed (removing "\n" is already done in sanei_config_read).
This ist just a fast grep. Check all backends!

doc
--- * Add sane-usb manpage* Documentation for sanei API - any ideas for this?
* sane.tex: Define the return values for sane_init?
* Add links to sane(7) in all maual pages frontends --------- * dll: Rewrite to use libtool ltdl library
* Add a check in the frontends if the backend delivers more data than it announced by sane_get_parameters to avoid segfaults with bad backends?
[the remaining entries have been moved to the sane-frontends package]
sanei -----
misc ---- * Remove compiler warnings (>300 warnings even in disable-warnings mode, >700 with --enable-warnings))
* Test SANE on different os/platforms, fix possible compilation problems Test methods: scanimage -d pnm:0 --filename=file.pnm -T scanimage -d net:localhost:pnm:0 --filename=file.pnm -T (start saned by inetd or saned -d before testing) xscanimage / gimp with xscanimage plugin (where available) All the above with shared and static libraries.
* move .desc files for backends that are not included in SANE to different directory (e.g. backends and external-backends)?
* Use #include "../include/sane/..." instead of #include <sane...>
* Use #include "../include/lalloca.h" instead of #include <lalloca.h>
* Check include/sane/config.h.in for unnecessary macros.
* Add configure option to enable only the net backend for users without local scanners. Install only sane-dll/sane-net (or even only sane-net). Maybe something like --network-client-only or --disable-local-devices.
* Add USB support for sane-find-scanner.
* check memory leaks (checked with purify and mtrace (from glibc)): - sanei_scsi.c: line 1262 - most backends: sanei_get_devices?
* Check AIX/gcc shared lib loading problem: When starting scanimage, only dll is loaded. Backend libraries can't be loaded: [dll] load: dlopen() failed (Symbol resolution failed for /tmp/sane-bin/lib/sane/libsane-umax.so.1 because: Symbol __eprintf (number 55) is not exported from dependent module scanimage. This happens in all libraries.
* Add installation procedure for translations of SANE backend's options.
