I can't say the same about your organization though. >Description: sane: was broken since 3.1, broken in 3.2, still broken in -current! 1. It was not built with a working GIMP on the build system, hence there is no "GIMP plugin" compiled in. The "you can symlink xsanimage to GIMP plugin directory" note is crap. 2, It was built with the wrong glib, xscanimage absolutely finds no SCSI scanner, whereas "camcontrol" clearly shows they are there. The ports/Makefile has it right: it needs gtk/glib-1.2.2, why was the package built with -1.2.3? xsane is the same way. >How-To-Repeat: Pull the package off CD or from packages ftp, install and see. "sane" my foot, INSANE is more like it. >Fix: If you cannot test the packages you build, don't bother putting them out on release. Require whoever builds a package must sign off "tested" before sending these "useless" packages out the door, and put that person's name in the +COMMENTS! This most basic QC concept that workers around the world know quite well, you guys sure aren't showing any. I had to spend 2 days pulling in glib/gtk etc. plus GIMP sources to build them, so sane can be build properly: all because I had to back glib/gtk down. Before 2.2.8, I never had this sort of problem; since 2.2.8, I've had to learn to read Spanish html docs, install packages that turn out useless, and rebuild ibraries. This irresponsible behavior must stop. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
