When upgrading the sane-backends port, it will overwrite my /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf file, thus making sure that my firmware load command is not there, and thus the scanner fails after upgrading sane-backends. A bit annoying. Fix: make the port check if the installed snapscan.conf is modified before overwriting it perhaps? How-To-Repeat: 1) have sane-backends installed 2) upgrade it (with portupgrade or something else)

Unfortunately, it seems that the feedback message didn't make it to GNATS for some reason.

I have been thinking about this problem for some days now. Honestly, I don't know how to do this. I understand the problem (ie. do not overwrite a configuration file if it has been changed) but I do not know how to do that with ports. I have read the porters handbook lightly, perhaps I need to read it more deeply again. If my understanding is correct, the new snapscan.conf file should be copied as snapscan.conf.sample (if a snapscan.conf file exist already), that part is quite easy. What about the other configuration files? As far as I can tell, sane-backends has a total of 58 configuration files that could possibly be edited by the user. Should a patch handle all of them? Where can I find help from others with this question? -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start.no tilbyr nå raskere bredbånd til lavere pris.
