Arch Linux User Repository

Thank you for the updated PKGBUILD. @V10lator. As version 1.7.1 including the patch was released before I had the time to update this packages, I just updated to that version.

Working 1.7:

pkgname=printer-driver-ptouch
pkgver=1.7

arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

    # Compile and remove foomatic database

    rm -r "$pkgdir/usr/share/foomatic/"
}

Currently, the build of v1.7 is broken. The package will remain at v1.6 for the time being

I can install now.

No clue I got an error during build and had to remove the url in the xml (shouldn't be a problem I guess).

@blackout: Ah thanks, fixed. At first I had build it with a different download url and forgot to remove the temporary downloaded artifact after changing the url.

won't build you have to use these lines

@x3a: Thanks for the message. I did not notice that there is a new version.

My patch was from a time where the repo was on bitbucket and the development was slowed down. I bumped the version and submitted my changes as a pull request.

This build fails during the make process while the current state of the projects git repository (7b13070b64f87bb432f84cc7d4826a126d2e8bc2) can be build properly. Why do you patch in functionality for the PT-2430PC during the package building instead of contributing your changes directly to the git repository?

the download of the driver package fails (repo deleted by developer).
