如何为Brother新的打印机驱动打包AUR
TODO
引言
一般来说,Brother的打印机驱动分成了 cupswraper 和 lpr 两个独立的驱动。Arch-Wiki已经给出了怎么打包这样的驱动的教程,但是有一些新机器的驱动,比如 DCP-B7500D 和 HL-L2350DW , 是混合在一起的新版驱动包。在这里咱记录下如何打包。
准备
写 PKGBUILD
一般来说这些驱动的版本都是 4.0.0
咱根据 Roman Schmocker的 brother-hll2350dw package 做了自己的 PKGBUILD,请针对自己的实际情况进行修改 :

修改对应的md5值
要让用户安装的时候得到提示,你可以写一个 xxx.intall 文件 (在我的这个例子是 brother-dcpb7500d.install):
1
2
3

5
6
7

| post_install() {
post_upgrade;
}
post_upgrade() {
echo "Restart CUPS service to load the new files"
echo "You can now register your new printer using the web interface at:"
echo " http://localhost:631/"
}

测试安装与上传
写完 PKGBUILD 之后, 做个测试:
在安装后重启 cups.service,然后去打印机设置里看看有没有类似的东西:

如果出现了类似的选项,就可以 上传到AUR repo
Tips提示:
在打印机设置中你可能会看到想这样的报错:
1
| Failed to search for a recommended driver: 'The name org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing was not provided by any .service files'
|
遇到这种情况下需要安装 system-config-printer :
1
| sudo pacman -S system-config-printer

致谢
对 Roman Schmocker 致以最诚挚的感谢。 没有您的帮助咱甚至连咱的 AUR 包都搞不定,更别说这篇博文了.
