Comment 5 for bug 138280

Hi,

The packages at my repo are dated from 0.5.1 while i released 0.5.2 (including flegita-gimp) only as tarball. Since work is going on for 0.5.3, i won't update packages. Remember Gnome Scan is very unstable. You should use only SVN version of this software as well as Gegl. Babl is stable enough, you could use a tarball.

I'm sorry if this does not looks "user friendly", but that's a property of FOSS : release early-release often. However, releasing does not mean packaging. At this stage, packaging is often a waste of time. I take the time to package only important release (e.g. "stable" release like 0.4.1 or the first 0.5.X release : 0.5.1; this ease packager job since i rewrote all the packaging too). At this stage, a release is a reasonabily "buildable and runnable" version waiting for wider testing, rather for distribution and testing (0.6 will be such a release, closer to 1.0).

I'm very pleased to get feedbacks (even from launchpad which is not the BTS of gnome-scan), but remember Gnome Scan is at a very early stage !

Regarding this bug, could you please post the debugging output from the new gnome-scan ? 0.5.1 might be enough, i encourage you to test SVN (i fixed a couple of bug in SVN regarding some paper-size options).

Kind regards,
Étienne.
