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.

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. [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PERMISSION?h=packages/skype

@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.

rafaelff commented on 2013-04-15 19:14 (UTC)

Looks good to me.

The package source does not download.
