ptouch-print

Category: local-install (rebuilt only so archlinuxaba/the cluster gets it too; not maintained/adapted/owned by us — see arch/scripts/install_only_packages). First-time addition, no prior checkout on this machine. User explicitly requested x86_64 only for this one – did not extend to i686/pentium4.

CLI tool to print labels on Brother P-Touch printers.

Build notes (2026-08-19)

• Upstream AUR PKGBUILD sources from the maintainer’s own cgit (familie-radermacher.ch), pinned to tag v1.7. That host returns HTTP 451 (Unavailable For Legal Reasons) – verified directly from this host with curl, not a chroot-networking issue.
• No alternate official host found. Switched source=() to pettarin/ptouch-print on GitHub, described by its owner as an hourly-updated mirror of the exact same upstream repo. That mirror carries no tags, so pinned to a specific commit (f7cce686099df3034fc41e427ab14358277234fe) instead of v1.7 – 154 commits ahead of the tag, includes real fixes (e.g. a stack buffer overflow fix in ptouch_sendraster, new printer support).
• pkgver 1.7 -> 1.7.r154.gf7cce68 (reflects the untagged commit pin), pkgrel 1 -> 1.1 (local-install, X.Y scheme – this is a source-origin substitution, not an upstream release).
• If familie-radermacher.ch becomes reachable again, worth reverting to the original tag-pinned source rather than staying on the mirror indefinitely.
