* Package name : scanbd Version : 1.2.1 Upstream Author : Wilhelm Meier <wilhelm.me...@fh-kl.de> * URL : http://sf.net/projects/scanbd * License : GPL v2 or later Description : scanner button daemon acting on events such as button presses, etc. "scanbd is a scanner button daemon. It polls the scanner buttons looking for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner events as paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows also scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed, etc., various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via action scripts. The function knob values are passed to the action-scripts as well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This can be useful for foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered via dbus from foreign applications. On platforms which support signaling of dynamic device insertion / removal (libudev, dbus, hal) scanbd supports this as well. scanbd can use all sane-backends or some special backends from the (old) scanbuttond project." I'm at a very early stage of evaluating scanbd for my needs. I may end up not using the software, but I still wanted to make it known out there that I'm interested and working on it. I'm cc'ing Jakub who has an open ITP for scanbuttond which seems to be stalled upstream for about two years now and apparently superseded by scanbd. I welcome collaboration by Jakub and anyone else interested. I'll probably publish some WIP work at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/scanbd.git soonish. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
