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.

Updated to 1.1.45, updated the terms of service, changed the tagline and the icon in the desktop file as suggested.

KaoDome commented on 2011-09-03 12:34 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to propose a modification to a file provided by this package. The desktop file (/usr/share/applications/dropbox.desktop) specifies the icon hard coded to the actual path which prevents correct "theming". If instead of that hardcoded path it read "dropbox.png" it would be possible to use automatically the customized icon if the current icon theme provides it (e.g. the Faenza icon theme provides a replacement for the default Dropbox icon). I think line 6 in that file should be changed to read: Icon=dropbox.png

You should specify "opt/dropbox/dropboxd" (without quotes, no leading slash) in NoUpgrade. Other than that, it is not responsibility of the PKGBUILD itself to ensure that NoUpgrade works. If it is not working, file a bug against pacman (or libalpm, not sure).

Evilandi666 commented on 2011-08-22 13:42 (UTC)

Could you please try to ensure that your pkgbuild does not always overwrite /opt/dropbox/dropboxd when this one is in /etc/pacman.conf -> NoUpgrade = ... It is very annoying, even if you do chmod -w on it, it will be overwritten. Some of us use different/extenden dropboxd scripts.. so that's why it is annoying....

I tried that, my chown got messed up some how. I got it fixed now. Thanks

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-08-20 13:15 (UTC)

@matt_head : all you have to do is edit PKGBUILD and replace "root.root" by "root:root".

mtorromeo commented on 2011-06-29 19:36 (UTC)

It is a quote from the website, it seems it has been removed now, but you can still see it in google results https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=Secure+backup%2C+sync+and+sharing+made+easy&lr=&qscrl=1

Tomato commented on 2011-06-29 19:24 (UTC)

I'd say that "Secure" in the package summary is a bit daft in light of latest revelations...
