Please ensure your working directory is in the repository, because we use a custom download agent to download sources, this download agent is a curl wrapper with UA set to firefox's. We call curl directly, using config file to provide User Agent with space.

As for why not set UA in command directly, please check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nonfree_applications_package_guidelines#Custom_DLAGENTS for more info.

I tested paru and it seems can work without any change. But I am not sure if other AUR helpers also can work.

Edit: Found a problem, if you use custom $SRCDEST for makepkg, you need to copy ua.curlrc to $SRCDEST manually, or there will be a failure when downloading sources.

Hey, I've adopted this package and applied some of the suggestions:

  • Add missing dependencies, notably libusb-compat and sane (cred @ZhandHua).
  • Depend on exact version of hplip (cred @jsn42).

In addition, the PGP-signature of the artifact is now checked, which means you need to fetch upstream's key:

gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4ABA2F66DBD5A95894910E0673D770CDA59047B9

Unfortunately, I have no HP printer at home so my testing ability is limited to running hp-diagnose_plugin. If someone has better opportunity to test and is interested in maintaining, let me know and I'll handover the package or add you as a co-maintainer. Cheers!

@pyropeter: Thanks for your hard work. Appreciate it!

uploaded 3.12.6-2 * now works with spaces in $startdir @GR3: yes, that's a bug. I thought I had quoted every variable substitution, but apparently, I was wrong. It's fixed now.

@pyropeter: Nope. Its parent directory contained a space which I removed after reading your comment (was "june 2012" and changed it to "june2012") and it went through flawlessly. Bit awkward, isn't it?

pyropeter commented on 2012-06-23 17:56 (UTC)

@GR3: Does your $pkgdir contain an exclamation mark ("!")?

Hello everyone! I updated hplip package to 3.12.6 but when issuing the makepkg command, this is the output i get: sed: -e expression #1, char 35: unterminated `s' command ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting... At first glance, I see no difference with older PKGBUILDs Any ideas? Thanks!

pyropeter commented on 2012-06-23 12:24 (UTC)

uploaded version 3.12.6. @karhu: that file belongs to the hplip package. you should create a bug report at bugs.archlinux.org.

With the version 3.12.4 we got an error with the HP printers. File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip" not available: No such file or directory To fix it the option foomatic-rip-hplip-install must be yes. The best way is to change in the PKGBUILD --disable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install \ with --enable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install \

uploaded 3.12.4

pyropeter commented on 2012-02-11 12:47 (UTC)

uploaded 3.12.2 thanks for reporting.
