Arch Linux User Repository

I run Insync headless on a home server and CLI and headless support were dropped in v3. I've created a separate aur package called insync1 from the last commit of this package pre-v3. The official word on this package is that it's community supported and it wont receive any updates.

Insync say they might add CLI/headless support in the future. Until then, we can use 1.5.7 until it stops working. I've added a pinned comment on the package to explain its purpose.

Seems to work fine on my fresh Manjaro KDE. However, it turned out that the tray icon wasn't shown, though it was responding to mouse clicks. The tray icon appeared only after the installation of lib32-libappindicator-gtk2. Maybe this package should be included in the dependencies of Insync?

The latest update broke insync on my Manjaro KDE. The insync tray icon is not responding, and files are not being synced. Please help! Thanks.

Thx for the update !

@Kr1ss, yes, still it would be cool if that fix was included in the PKGBUILD from the AUR already…

edit 1:

I made it work after applying the following diff:

@BrianAllred see my comment below for a fix.

Can't install in a clean chroot.

install: cannot stat '../insync@.service': No such file or directory

hi guys, dont you have problems with tray icon under gnome ?

Thanks to the package maintainer! the latest insync is working!

Hey @thenaterhood & @erikdubois, thx a lot for packaging this !

Would you consider to change lines #35f in your PKGBUILD like :

   install -Dm644 insync@.service ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/insync@.service
   install -Dm644 insync.service ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/user/insync.service

i.e. point to insync{,@}.service (inside $srcdir) rather than ../insync{,@}.service.

The latter wouldn't work for a user who has changed their $SRCDEST, (mine is changed to a temp folder for ex.). Since makepkg symlinks all AUR source files to $srcdir/<filename>, omitting the ../ would work for all configurations, default $SRCDEST or not.

EDIT Further on, the service files aren't recognized as sources in the first place because they need to be defined in one source array (as well as one single checksum array) :

source=("http://s.insynchq.com/builds/${pkgname}_${pkgver}-${_dist}_amd64.deb"
        'insync@.service' 'insync.service')
sha256sums=('6112df3b92e658606632e853066fda234aba7d72c1417ea4f87978febe729349'
            'cf276c1dbf1592ea63a21c2d61c75f7ad6ec3b13e87b3aaa331e9c14799f4598'
            '1432141539a6b3c5333631a2ee6696fab9bd2fe8770643bc670d95e4e96203e0')

EDIT 2 FWIW, the current build based on the Debian Buster package works without manually creating symlinks as suggested by @gofree. These libraries are included now, so changing from the Ubuntu package to Buster was a good move !

Cheers and thanks !
