There's a drop in folder that can be used to make this package work out of the box.

echo brother4 > /etc/sane.d/dll.d/brother4.conf

Any reason why not to include it in the package?

Makes sense. I didn't understand this error was from Git, fixed now :)

Looks like yay downloads sources to the folder with PKGBUILD. That's why when agree.html became a versioned file, Git refused to check it out over already present unversioned copy. Victoria, Julien, can we see a listing of your directories with brscan4 PKGBUILD? I bet we'll see rpms there too.

Harvey commented on 2020-03-27 12:22 (UTC)

So why don't you just overwrite the file agree.html? BTW, yay is not an official tool. I tested with makepkg which is the arch way and this worked for me.

I have the same issue when updating the package:

@vstuart: I don't get the sense of your message, sorry ;) I tested pure 'makepkg -cfsi' and it works without quirks. Could you please tell us a little more?

      agree.html

Start update (e.g., yay -Syu), and at appropriate prompt (brscan4 update) choose to view the differences (diff), to get your path to agree.html:

  ...
  ==> Diffs to show?
  ==> [N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]tInstalled or (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4)
  ==> A
  ...
  diff --git /home/victoria/.cache/yay/brscan4/agree.html /home/victoria/.cache/yay/brscan4/agree.html
  ...

Then, in a terminal:

mv /home/victoria/.cache/yay/brscan4/agree.html /home/victoria/.cache/yay/brscan4/agree.html.old

Update /install should now proceed. :-)

It works ! Many Thanks

Brother seems to have deleted the license file from their website. For the time being I have pushed a new version of the package that contains the license file.

Hello Harey and all

Brscan4 (0.4.8_1-1) build fails as http://www.brother.com/agreement/English_sane/agree.html can't be downloaded (error 404). Is there a way to bypass this?

Thanks in advance
