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!

uploaded version 3.11.1-1 @kakalaky: thanks for flaging out-of-date.

uploaded version 3.10.9-3: * dbus-python and pygobject are only make-dependencys @Rudanar: I am happy to hear that.

Rudanar commented on 2011-01-21 07:44 (UTC)

@pyropeter Thanks! You were right, I had dependency problems, now the install goes fine!

uploaded version 3.10.9-2: * added dependency for dbus-python and pygobject * added patch for meaningful pkit-import-error message @Rudanar: I don't know if I guessed your problem correctly, but I think you missed the dbus-python and pygobject packages. It would be nice if you could try building again with the new PKGBUILD and report if it works or the problem persists.

Rudanar commented on 2011-01-20 20:45 (UTC)

With a clean install of hplip-plugin, the build end with: "error: Unable to load pkit...is HPLIP installed?" (but the clean install installed hplip itself).
