Completely removing xsane/xsane-gimp from comps was totally uncalled for, I've added xsane again as optional and xsane-gimp conditional on gimp.

It's really not that hard.
Good point Nils, apologies for that.
Accepted and sorry for harsh words :-).
I'm a bit pressed here trying to sort out the image and unify the kickstart and comps. xsane was one of the random exclusions.
We could just make this change for F14 or not make it at all yet; any other opinions?
Mind, I'm not against relegating xsane to not being the default, it is just to complicated for casual users.
As I said, I've made xsane an optional package and xsane-gimp a conditional based on gimp in comps. This way people that want to have the stand-alone xsane can choose to do so in the installer and people that choose gimp get the plugin automatically. For me that's sufficient, I don't think we need to wait until F-14 for that.
I'd ask of you to put something in the release notes, though, so people don't get surprised if they don't get xsane per default anymore when selecting the Graphics group.
Thanks, Nils
