  Description     :  SANE WebScan frontend that supports Apple's AirScan
protocol

 SANE WebScan frontend that supports Apple's AirScan protocol. Scanners are
detected automatically, and published through mDNS. Acquired images may be
transferred in JPEG, PNG, and PDF/raster format.

AirSane's intended purpose is to be used with AirScan/eSCL clients such as
Apple's Image Capture, but a simple web interface is provided as well.

Images are encoded on-the-fly during acquisition, keeping memory/storage
demands low. Thus, AirSane will run fine on a Raspberry Pi or similar device.

How does this compare with https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan/ /
src:sane-airscan? Client vs Server?

Best,

Yes it is the server. I plan to package it in order to offer secure
scanning over network instead of insecure firmware

I found this bug when I was about to file a WNPP bug myself. I just
installed AirSane from source on my Ubuntu system and was delighted by how
well it worked, and how easy it was.

Hi Bastien,
Do you have any update on your plan to package airsane?
Best regards,
