Version 5.15.285 is available and highly recommended.

There are known security vulnerabilities fixed in the new version.

Hi, maintainer of the "Upstream URL" here. Could you update this package in the light of recent security vulnerability: https://blog.talosintelligence.com/revault-when-your-soc-turns-against-you/

The current available version is 5.15.285-5.15.010

You can as well getting this package from the upstream URL provided in debian/watch, so you do not need using our repository to fetch the content.

Now installed and working, thank you!

The CV3+ driver binaries have been moved to https://git.launchpad.net/~oem-solutions-engineers/pc-enablement/+git/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom-cv3plus/. I will create a separate package for that if I find the time.

Edit: @Silvanosky did the work already: libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom-cv3plus. Thanks!

@minerscale I just tried it and it works like a charm :). Thank you for your work.

Hi everyone,

Should be fixed. upstream removed the extra driver they added a couple of updates. Presumably just to mess with me specifically.

Let me know if things break again :)

Edited: Spelling corrections. It seems like there has been an upstream change, and some files have been removed.
I commented out the following lines from the PKGBUILD, and it installed without errors. My fingerprint reader is working:

install -Dm 755 usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfprint-2/tod-1/libfprint-2-tod-1-broadcom-cv3plus.so "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libfprint-2/tod-1/"
cp -r var/lib/fprint/fw/cv3plus/* "$pkgdir/var/lib/fprint/.broadcomCv3plusFW"

Getting an error. I'm a noob, but cleaned pacman and paru's package cache. Tried makepkg with same results:

Ok @linkmg thank you so much for the input. I wonder why it's needed clearly I don't understand enough. I've gone and fixed it.

It looks like the .broadcomCv3plusFW folder is needed, without it the fingerprint reader does not work. It also appears in the install files of the Debian/Ubuntu version in the jammy branch.
