Arch Linux User Repository

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!

@pieplu, it's called epoch: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#epoch

➜  ~ pacman -Qi hplip
Name            : hplip
Version         : 1:3.20.9-1

As you can see hplip package has this epoch number specified before version string.

@andmars thanks a lot for the update :)

I tryed too, and if we add "1:" before the package version, pacman found the dependencie, like that:

depends=("hplip=1:$pkgver")

I'm not a packager/expert, I really don't understant what is this "1:" before many package version, but it's looks like it's mandatory when = is used

Sorry for the late update this time!

@pieplu: removing ">" from the PKGBUILD runs (at least in my case) into:

==> Making package: hplip-plugin 3.20.9-1 (Thu 22 Oct 2020 07:21:04 AM CEST)

==> Checking runtime dependencies...

==> Installing missing dependencies...

error: target not found: hplip=3.20.9

==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

==> Missing dependencies:

-> hplip=3.20.9

==> Checking buildtime dependencies...

==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

@andmars I have a question / suggestion

Change depends=("hplip>=$pkgver") to depends=("hplip=$pkgver") (= in place of >= )

Because, every time this package is out of date (like actually), hplip is on a newer version, and every time, print fail (because mismatch between hplip version and hplip-plugin version)

The proposal change will be helpfull to prevent that?

Undeclared variable srcdir, that's what I think it's happening.

Downlaoded and ran: https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.20.6-plugin.run

Just check for the particular version for you

Any idea of how to solve this?

the pgp.mit.edu server is down/has a timeout most of the time, so i always have to run the command sed -i "s/'pgp.mit.edu'/'keyserver.ubuntu.com'/" /usr/share/hplip/base/validation.py in order to be able to receive the proper HPLIP Digital Certificate..

Could you add pentium4 to the PKGBUILD? See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=PKGBUILD&diff=633913&oldid=633868

Recently I installed hplip for HP color laserjet pro mfp m283fdn device. Printing was fine, but scanner did not work: scanner device was found but connection could not be established.

It did work however after I installed hplip-plugin.

==> Does it makes sense to add hplip-plugin as dependency to hplip package?
