Rebuilding Packages Related to Bug Report 2946

wkatastrof - about 3 years ago -

Greetings,

I am having a problem with the hplip package and it seems that it needs to be rebuilt to take changes to python into consideration. I believe this ties into bug report 2946.

I haven't done much in the way of rebuilding packages. Is there a good how-to somewhere so that I can contribute to resolving these issues?

Thanks.

most of those programs could simply be rebuilt, with no changes - in such cases, it is one single command - just get the PKGBUILD, upgrade your system, install base-devel, and run makepkg:

$ pacman -Syu
$ pacman -S base-devel
$ makepkg -sri

Thanks; going to do some more reading about creating packages and keys and try this.

you can ignore all of the sections about keys - keys are only
used for signing and publishing packages - you can learn and
practice everything there is to know about packaging, without any
keys
