1 the binary-only package sys-auth/tfm-fingerprint provides a driver for
2 fingerprint scanners found in many laptops. fortunately there is an
3 open-source equivalent that replaces this and doesnt require the craptastic
4 bioapi framework: sys-auth/thinkfinger

6 i just scrubbed bioapi/tfm-fingerprint on my Dell and replaced it with
7 thinkfinger and its setup was a crap ton nicer.

9 so unless there's a reason to keep this, i'd just as soon punt it.
