Package updated.

Since now this package will follow the iscan package version used to distribute the plugin, instead of the internal numbering into the package, as EPSON people won't respect version number history

Should the dependency on iscan removed? At the time of this writing, I can not find an iscan package in community. This comment is explicitly about iscan[community]. Not iscan-for-epson-v500-photo[AUR].

If building fails with Validation of source files with sha256sums… iscan-gt-f720-bundle-2.30.4.x64.deb.tar.gz ... FAILED ==> ERROR use clean build as you maybe replaced the file when it failed building in the past. Epson has another file with the same name and different hash that you possibly downloaded and edited PKGBUILD for it to build.

i can't update anymore the plugin from version 2.30.3.1-2:

Some other changes were required to build except the file version change replace PKGBUILD with

I've edited PKGBUILD for new deb source. The new link is almost identical to the old one, except for the package version, which now is 2.30.4 instead of 1.0.0. I'm learning how to upload the working AUR package. I've tested it with Epson Perfection V30, and it works

the Epson download link no longer works. Current: http://support.epson.net/linux/en/imagescanv3.php
