Whoops, sorry for confusion and thank you for the maintenance!

dvbscan is still present. scan was renamed dvb-scan.

Before the package update there were two different binaries in the package: scan and dvbscan:

# pacman -Qo /usr/bin/{scan,dvbscan}
/usr/bin/scan is owned by linuxtv-dvb-apps 1505-3
/usr/bin/dvbscan is owned by linuxtv-dvb-apps 1505-3

Now there's only dvb-scan. Was that an error before or is it an error now?

@drws Conflict with sane-scan-pdf is enough to consider renaming the file. I'll update after a successful test build.

One of the conflicts is with sane-scan-pdf. It's true the linked project is younger and shouldn't take the pre-taken name. I did open an issue with the author.

Nonetheless, the problem is that /usr/bin/scan is very generic. It's as generic as it gets. I had conflicts before due to the name and I for one would never first think of DVB scanning when encountering such a generic name. Paper scanning is much more obvious.

Considering the already-present dvbzap workaround, the fact that there are other binaries in this package prefixed with dvb* and that both names are used in the original repo, dvbscan would be a solution. Since this package also already installs both dvbscan and scan, the latter can only be renamed into dvbscan2 or similar.

Also thank you for clarifying the hg/mercurial situation.

@drws hg is provided by mercurial which is already in makedepends. What commands are you using to make this package?

What filename conflict? According to pacman -F, no other package uses scan.

drws commented on 2023-07-27 09:09 (UTC)

There's an additional command needed in the PKGBUILD to avoid filename conflicts:

mv ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/{scan,dvbscan2}

I get a strange error during build (which then completes successfully):

==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Cloning dvb-apps hg repo...
/usr/share/makepkg/source/hg.sh: line 50: hg: command not found

xiota commented on 2023-05-12 16:24 (UTC)

Updated the checksum so this will at least build. Help to fix other issues (arm) are welcome.

kanehekili commented on 2023-02-17 00:35 (UTC)

Still doesn't work on arm. Same failure as 2 years ago. The path /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 is not found (even though it exists)
