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!

@txomon, @rpodgorny done. I've discussed this issue with a few people in the IRC. The thing is that hplip and hplip-plugin have to be equal in version number. So now it should be possible to update hplip without hplip-plugin complaining about beeing dependent on the then older version. I'll keep my best to have hplip-plugin updated as fast as possible. Last time it took me less than 6 hours as you can see: hplip -2015-09-19 17:04 hplip-plugin - 2015-09-19 22:39.

i agree with @txomon. the versioned dependency is quite cumbersome and imho non-standard in arch.

txomon commented on 2015-09-21 08:05 (UTC)

@andmars, the problem I see here is that you are trying to set up compatibility through putting a maximum version of hplip. The way to go would be to have hplip<XXXXX dependency removed, and let people update both at the same time, first hplip and then hplip-plugin. Arch is a rolling release, and as long as both packages (hplip and hplip-plugin) are more or less updated at the same time, you should run in no problems.

Can you please add a makedepends on xterm?

@wolfyrion Look the workaround of gps1539. I just did it.

wolfyrion commented on 2015-09-19 20:04 (UTC)

hplip 3.15.9 is out and hplip-plugin 3.15.7-1 is not compatible atm. an update would be much appreciated :) Thanks!

@txomon, @gps1539 Unfortunately this is the method to update hplip and hplip-plugin. You have to uninstall hplip-plugin, upgrade hplip and re-install hplip-plugin. I asked in the forums and IRC for a sollution but the only sollution you might use is this pacman option: --assume-installed <package=version>

@txomon I ran into the same issue. I removed hplip-plugin, updated hplip and reinstalled hplip-plugin.

Please, add armv7 support to PKGBUILD: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1152219

@txomon Right, in order to update hplip-plugin you have to update hplip first to version 3.15.7 (remove hplip-plugin in the process) since they have to be equal. I have no idea how to change it in the PKGBUILD to make it work without these extra steps. A little help would be much appreciatet.
