It's a variety of reasons.
One is the license. I'm not sure if it allows repackaging but I don't care much to find out.
Another one is the fact that it's a binary blob that was meant to be placed in the user's home dir (and self-updated) and the fact that this pkgbuild puts it in /opt is sort of hackish.
That said if another TU wants to move it to [community] I have no objections but I won't.

@josephgbr: It was kind of a rhetorical question, since I suspected that to be the issue but I really don't know it for sure.

@darkvenger: was this a rhetoric question or you were asking him? I wasn't able to tell.
But, related to licensing issues, skype has limitations as well, but Skype gave permited Arch Linux to distribute [1]. It is always possible, unless the owner of the software say no. Anyway, I don't if that's the case.

@mininessie: maybe due to licensing issues??
rafaelff commented on 2013-04-28 13:54 (UTC)
@mininessie: no much reason gave so far, but Torromeo is doing a great job here anyway.

how in the world has this not been pushed to the official repos
luolimao commented on 2013-04-16 02:24 (UTC)
Well, it worked for me with curl (I don't even have wget installed). Maybe it's the value of DLAGENTS in makepkg.conf that's questionable?

@burntcookie90 - Weirdly enough, if you're using curl to download, it doesn't do it, but wget manages to. Try changing the downloader. It should help.

Looks good to me.

Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."
Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:
You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of
gpg -k
. You should find something like this:yan12125 commented on 2018-08-01 11:41 (UTC) (edited on 2020-01-24 15:13 (UTC) by yan12125)
If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.
