Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."

gpg --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:

gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of gpg -k. You should find something like this:

pub   rsa2048 2010-02-11 [SC]
      1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E
uid           [ unknown] Dropbox Automatic Signing Key <linux@dropbox.com>

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

@joelpet, I also see the cloudfront URL. I would certainly feel better about this package if the sources were updated to the official ones. For now I think I'll retract my vote.

joelpet commented on 2016-01-28 03:23 (UTC)

I share @ron89's concern that the source is downloaded from a (seemingly) arbitrary Dropbox user's content. I assume the URL was originally taken from https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200210355-Desktop-Client-Builds where official (?) Desktop Client Builds are posted and then just kept the same for each new release. However, when I visit https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203932093-Stable-Build-3-12-6 now, the download URL is instead https://d1ilhw0800yew8.cloudfront.net/client/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.12.6.tar.gz. That file's SHA1 sum (9836b0b37f6d0d7527f4449d3109f2bbaf32d48c) matches the one at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.12.6.tar.gz, and none of the URLs seem to redirect to the other. Am I alone in seeing the cloudfront.net URL on the Desktop Client Builds page? If not, how about updating PKGBUILD to reflect this change of URL? Thank you for making this package available.

Where do you get 3.12.6 version? I can't see anything like that here: https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/ But more importantly, my log is full of `[ALERT]: You're using an old version of Dropbox. Please update to the latest version to continue using Dropbox.` messages, even after updating this package.

QuimaxW commented on 2015-12-17 21:01 (UTC)

3.12.5 is now current. On my system, it's been nagging me to enter a system (root?) password with no explanation. Apparently, it was trying to update itself. PKGBUILD stays the same, just updated the version to 3.12.5 (and the related checksum lines if you wish to not ignore those) and it compiled just fine.

FadeMind commented on 2015-12-06 14:26 (UTC)

3.12.4 released. https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/204468976-Stable-Build-3-12-4

For all having trouble with sync'ing folders, verify your file system mount parameters. In my case, my Dropbox folder was on an XFS partition with the noatime option. Changing to relatime solved my synchronization problems. I've read that if you are on ext3/ext4 you should use the user_xattrs option. I hope this helps someone.

Sorry about that. Fixed.

Spike29 commented on 2015-11-13 14:15 (UTC)

Hello, it seems like you forgot to update .SRCINFO (PKGBUILD version is 3.10.11, .SRCINFO one is 3.10.8) :)

janilson commented on 2015-11-09 13:12 (UTC)

@KeNaCo, I didn't mean to flame. But I understand your point of view. Thanks anyway, since you did want to help us. @rafasc, thanks for tip
