hplip-qt4-3.9.2 discussion

I'm opening this forum to discuss the hplip-qt4 package, v3.9.2.

A user (Army) mentioned on AUR comments that the package was broken, though I built, installed, and used the package myself before updating on AUR.
So, if any of you are seeing problems, please post them here, so we can keep the AUR comments clean.

Re: hplip-qt4-3.9.2 discussion

Problems like this one:

[amarcord@Gaia hplip-qt4]$ makepkg
PKGBUILD: line 22: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
[amarcord@Gaia hplip-qt4]$

It's not a big problem but ...

More serious problem seems to be that hplip-qt4.install doesn't exist.

AHH...an extra parenthesis in the PKGBUILD...added to the MD5SUM  -  AFTER I built the package and installed.

Thanks for catching that!

Please, let me insist about hplip-qt4.install doesn't exist.

*SIGH* This is what happens when you're in a hurry to do things.

After:

# pacman -U hplip-qt4-3.9.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

a "thousand" messages saying "file already exists in the system" are shown if regular hplip was installed before.

Re: hplip-qt4-3.9.2 discussion

The problem before is solved with:

[root@Gaia hplip-qt4]# pacman -Uf hplip-qt4-3.9.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
cargando datos del paquete...
comprobando dependencias...
(1/1) instalando hplip-qt4                          [#####################] 100%

NOTE
----
# You can open the HP Device Manager by entering this command in the console window:
# $ hp-toolbox
# You will need to install 'pyqt3' for running hp-toolbox.
# 'pacman -S pyqt3' should do this for you.

# If you want to use this driver with sane:
#  echo "hpaio" >> /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

[root@Gaia hplip-qt4]#

And the problem is the following line:

# 'pacman -S pyqt3' should do this for you.

Obviously we don't need pyqt3 or qt3 anymore.

Since pyqt>=4.4 is a dependency, I took those two lines out completely.

Added 'hplip' to conflicts...maybe that will help with the "file exists"/need to remove hplip issues

Re: hplip-qt4-3.9.2 discussion

Ok sorry, I thought it would be enough to tell you that there's something wrong without telling the details. When someone complaints about a package, it's always best for the maintainer to "simulate" the other user by downloading the tarball, extracting and running makepkg But now it seems to work, so thanks for this build!

Re: hplip-qt4-3.9.2 discussion

I am having the exact problem (seg fault) with the classic hplip package as well..
It should not be a mere probem of hplip-qt4..
Both of them seem to be broken :s
