Upstream download file is not versioned: Same filename if version is updated.

PKGBUILD gets the actual version by parsing a front webpage, and sets $pkgver and download filename accordingly.

sha256sum checksums are in place.

If upstream version is updated, checksum verification will fail; in that case, checksums need to be updated.

!!!Important!!!
If your printer supports eSCL or WSD install https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sane-airscan/
(Without it, sane might detect your printer, but scanning will be very buggy and half broken.)
.
Otherwise use this package.

I do not plan to maintain this any further.

Since I got an out of date notification, I do a simple try to update it once.

Then I disown.

Anyone who wants/ uses this software feel free to pick it up.

Regards!

It fails because of hash verification. skip integ dont work, because it dont find the deb file.

I'm sorry for missing the notification in 2023.
There was no notification email.

Thank you for the information.
This package is now updated and I will orphan it since I don't need it anymore to print and scan with my kyocera.

Please do not install /etc/udev/rules.d/40-scanner-permissions.rules since it creates overly permissive access permissions for all USB devices! It is not kyocera scanner specific.

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

According to namcap, freeimage and openssl-1.1 are dependencies, but openssl-1.0 and libtiff4 not anymore:

kyocera-sane E: Dependency freeimage detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libfreeimage.so.3'] needed in files ['usr/lib/sane/libsane-kyocera_gdi_a3.so.1.0.24'])
kyocera-sane E: Dependency openssl-1.1 detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1', 'usr/lib/libssl.so.1.1'] needed in files ['usr/lib/libkmadrwapi.so', 'usr/lib/libkmcmnapi2.so', 'usr/lib/sane/libsane-kyocera_wc3.so.1.0.24'])

Also, libjpeg and libtiff5 are needed dependencies!

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

data.tar.gz must be changed to data.tar.xz.

wget is not used, please remove it from makedepends.

unzip -o SANE_Driver_zip.download.zip is not needed. The zip source file will be extracted automatically via bsdtar after download. Then, unzip can also be removed from makdepends.
