brother-dcp9055cdn-bin fails to install about brother-overlay HOT 13 CLOSED

Thanks for your report!
Yes it looks like a sandbox violation. I will investigate why the ebuild is not working.

Btw, you need to use FEATURES="-usersandbox -sandbox" to deactivate the sandboxing completely, but the ebuild will still error out.

thanks for the hint, with -usersandbox I get less errors. I think now the remaining problem is that the source of the symlink is not correct:

* The specific snippet of code:
 *       ( ln -s "${D}/usr/lib64/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperdcp9055cdn" "${D}/usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperdcp9055cdn" ) || die

I had to use /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcp9055cdn/lpd/filterdcp9055cdn. I don't remember, wether this folder was created by the ebuild or by me unpacking the rpm.

I pushed a new ebuild. Disabling the sandboxes should no longer be necessary.

Maybe you can leave some feedback if it's working or not as I don't have access to this model.

from brother-overlay.

No feedback after a week. Closing.

Been away for a few days. Thanks a lot, the issue seems to be resolved.
I emerged the -r1 version succesfully. I had the move or delete the existing /usr/local/Brother folder, but the it it was all good. test rpint succeeded. thanks a lot for the prompt support. Also it did not install a new printer when emerging the ebuild.

I think I was a little too quick. I checked on a second machine: it is still necessary to make the symlink in usr/libexec/cups/filter:
ln -s /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcp9055cdn/lpd/filterdcp9055cdn brlpdwrapperdcp9055cdn

from brother-overlay.

I'm not sure that I understood the error correctly, but I changed the filter in the ebuild.
Again, I would appreciate your feedback as I cannot test it.

I hope my approach is not too quick and dirty, but it works for me like this if I change the src_install in the ebuild:

src_install() {
    MODEL="dcp9055cdn"
    mkdir -p "${D}"usr/libexec/cups/filter || die
    mkdir -p "${D}"usr/share/cups/model/Brother || die
    cp -r usr "${D}" || die
    ( ln -s "${D}"usr/local/Brother/Printer/${MODEL}/lpd/filterdcp9055cdn "${D}"usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperdcp9055cdn ) || die

    ( ln -s "${D}"usr/local/Brother/Printer/${MODEL}/cupswrapper/${MODEL}.ppd "${D}"usr/share/cups/model/Brother/brother_${MODEL}_printer_en.ppd ) || die
}

To test I first deleted the directory /usr/local/Brother and the file /usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperdcp9055cdn

After emerging the modified ebuild. The printer still worked. It is not clear to me what the sed part is for in the original ebuild. If I'm lucky I manage to commit the modified ebuild...

from brother-overlay.

there was a typo in the sed command. created pull request #38
