Hi ettavolt. I'm not sure if that was directed towards me but "/opt/brother" does not exist. I had installed brscan4 using yay and I'm not sure if another tool is advised instead.

EDIT: I had this error: brscan4: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so exists in filesystem brscan4: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1 exists in filesystem brscan4: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1.0.7 exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

so I deleted these three files and were able to install brsane4 just fine and run brsaneconfig4. Thanks!

I noticed that after installing this package that I don't get a binary starting with "brs", namely brsaneconfig4. I was wondering what package I'll need to install for that.

updated to 0.4.6_1

@marcin: changed that back, thanks. Learned: never rely on anything :(

Was getting this error:

curl: (51) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'www.brother.com' ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://www.brother.com/agreement/English_sane/agree.html

I downloaded the brscan4:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/brscan4.git

and then manually edited PKGBUILD to have http instead of https for two brother links there.

And then manually build and install the packakage

makepkg -si

@lordbalmung: Done. Thank you for the hint. Did not change the pkgver though because it does not change the package itself.

lordbalmung commented on 2018-07-25 23:38 (UTC)

Can you please modify the source to https instead of http? brother seems to release the rpm in https as well.

@Harey: it still blocks executing binary files. To be clear: noexec flag isn't defense against malicious PKGBUILD. It's a coincidence that it can break building in circumstances as described below. What I'm advocating here is to prevent that accidental breakage.

Harvey commented on 2018-07-13 14:20 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity: what is the sense in this if a malicious PKGBUILD can circumvent it with a - agreed - trivial change?
