Brokenman said that you need to build over xfce. I was working from kde5 but now use xfce.

Posted: **15 Oct 2016, 10:02**

francois, need to test my module from xfce.

Posted: **15 Oct 2016, 10:22**

@brokenman

1)
You can remove the following:
GConf-3.2.6-x86_64-3
gtk+3-3.18.9-x86_64-1

These packages are in all desktops by default.

2)
libxfce4ui-4.12.1-x86_64-2
libxfce4util-4.12.1-x86_64-2
qt3-3.3.8b-x86_64-5_slonly (seems very old)
Why are these packages present?

1.0 I have removed 1), these were on ahau's 3.1 version and 2) libx*, you are right they are not necessary.
But qt3-3.3.8b-x86_64-5_slonly is the package provided by usm and available in in pkgs.org for slackware 13.2.

Once removed and without my genuine gimp-solibs from gimp only libraries the module goes down to 90,3 MB.

2.0 I am lookig for the procedure to strip the package to get it even less heavier. I found some threads on the question. It is the first time I really get into the strip business:
rava's method (mainly removing language stuff and removing licence, for personal stuff)
viewtopic.php?f=53&t=2373
fanthom method for lxqt (good ideas in there)
Creating my own Porteus !
tomas method for creating a module
http://old.slax.org/documentation_creat ... _rules.php

I realize that I have always built my personal modules the lazy way.

@blaze:

Your module works for my brother printer. However, simple-scan will not locate my printer scanner. and will not scan.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/opt/brother/scanner/brscan4# brsaneconfig4 -q | grep scanner
  0 scanner             "MFC-7860DW"        I:10.0.0.7

Comparison of missing packages in our modules.

In mine 07-printing-3.2 compared to yours there is additional packages :
dbus-python-1.2.4-x86_64-1
gd-2.2.1-x86_64-1
libgphoto2-2.5.10-x86_64-1
libieee1284-0.2.11-x86_64-3

pycairo-1.10.0-x86_64-1
pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-2
python-2.7.11-x86_64-2

qt3-3.3.8b-x86_64-5_slonly (this seems to be unecessary in my module, is it because of pyqt?)

In yours 07-printing-x86_64 compared to mine there is additional packages :
exo-0.10.7-x86_64-1
ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11-noarch-1 (I am not sure this is really needed for upgraded cups, we will have to search)
qpdf-6.0.0-x86_64-1 (quite sure it is not needed with cups 2.1.4, which works completely with pdf,*** has to be checked out)

sane-1.0.25-x86_64-2 (*** this might be why scanner does not work, I will have to verify)

You have more recent packages than mine (so it seems better to pick up from pkgs.org than usm):
foomatic-filters-4.0.17-x86_64-1
hplip-3.16.8-x86_64-1dj
PyQt5-5.7-x86_64-1alien
simple-scan-3.20.0-x86_64-1jsc

It's requires expert opinion

This is what I did in the previous post. I used the two lists that you gave and then compared the them (your package and mine) and gave the result of the differences.

What I will do is use your module set of packages and then add and remove my extra packages until I get to scan with my brother printer. And provide the result. We will keep what will be left and testers will tell us if anything is missing. I will do that tonite.

Cheers!

This should be in the gimp-solibs of ahau. I will have to check that.

It might take until this thursday. At work there is a very busy schedule.

Today I tested Canon i-SENSYS MF3228 and HP Photo Scanner ScanJet G2710 with 07-printing-x86_64-18.10.2016.xzm

Both devices does not have drivers for Linux.

Canon i-SENSYS MF3228 - printer don't work (no driver)
Canon i-SENSYS MF3228 - scanning works perfect
HP Photo Scanner ScanJet G2710 - very slowly scans, plus did this incorrectly - example here

BTW, Internet via proxy server on the last version of Porteus works fine.

@blaze:

1.0 Your printer package works fine. I finally retested it on a fresh xfce install. Really do not know what was wrong.

2.0 Canon I-SENSYS MF3228: Canon states that there will be no linux driver for that printer.

Better to throw these devices into trash and buy a new printers and scanners with support Linux.
