Description

@thegreatyellow67

I would like to migrate from LMDE7 to VOID in my main daily PC, because I like the concept of VOID speed, stability and rolling release (while in LMDE it's becoming more difficult to manage the system due to massive changes every two years, although it still proves to be a rather reliable system being Debian based), but I can't use my EPSON WF-2010W printer. I've tried to install epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 included in this void-packages repo, but with no luck (doesn't support my printer). For WF-2010W printer .deb and .rpm files are available on the official EPSON site:

https://download-center.epson.com/softwares/?device_id=WF-2010+Series&region=IT&os=RPM&language=en

These are the links for RPM files (both drivers and utility):

These are the links for DEB files (both drivers and utility):

This driver support:
Epson inkjet printer driver (WF-2010, WF-2510, WF-2520, WF-2521, WF-2528, WF-2530, WF-2531, WF-2532, WF-2538, WF-2540, WF-2541, WF-2548)

I've tried by myself to create a template, but at a certain point, when a run:

./xbps-src pkg -f epson-inkjet-printer-201211w-1.0.1-1

I have an error:

=> ERROR: epson-inkjet-printer-201211w-1.0.1-1-1.0.1_1: PKGDESTDIR is empty and metapackage != yes
=> ERROR: epson-inkjet-printer-201211w-1.0.1-1-1.0.1_1: cannot continue with installation!

This is my template:

do_install() {
    :
}
do_build() {
    :

I tried, but due to my lack of knowledge in void package development, I'll stop here!
Can anyone help me fix this template and make this driver available to the entire Void community?
Should be also added a template for utility package.
Thanks in advance.
