/usr/lib/systemd/system/insync@.service needs to be changed. A couple of hours ago I realized Insync was not running and probably had not been running for a few days. I could start it manually from the command line with "insync start", but "systemctl start insync@colin" just waited 60 seconds and came back to the prompt without doing anything. I edited "/usr/lib/systemd/system/insync@.service" and noticed "ExecStart=/usr/bin/insync" which if I ran "/usr/bin/insync" from the command line, it would just give me a list of options and not actually run it. So I added "start" to the end of that line. But, now it runs a second instance every 60 seconds and puts up an alert that it's already running so the second instance will quit now. I'm thinking the problem may be with the reload step: "ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID". If that's the problem, what should it say instead? Why is this set to constantly reload anyway? Insync doesn't seem to need to be reloaded to do it's thing.

@xzy3186 Much nicer. Aura now installs without a fuss. And to your earlier point - Yaourt would install Insync - with ALL the dependencies enforced, regardless of the running DE. That meant I would get Cinammon, etc., even though I use Nautilus. This is so much cleaner. Thank you very much. +1 to you.

@KimTjik: Please enjoy :)

I big hug for this change. Finally I saw a reason to buy the so called stable version. Thanks (goes upstream as well)!

Similarly to the packaging upstream, now the core package of insync and the corresponding file-manager integration have been separated. Please install the insync-plugin for your favorite file-manager manually.

That PKGBUILD is just horrible, mostly due to the desktop detection. As those are separate packages upstream the best option would be to have separate packages for Arch as well.

@rbellamy I agree to the idea of having separate packages for the DEs. Yet as far as I remember (now using Aura), Yaourt was able to build Insync properly.

rbellamy commented on 2013-07-23 13:33 (UTC)

I respectfully suggest that the Arch Linux AUR package needs work. The PKGBUILD requires an execution environment to parse the dependencies - this means there isn't a AUR package manager out there that can successfully install Insync on Arch. The user is therefore required to shell out and execute makepkg manually. By no means is this insurmountable. However it does mean that the PKGBUILD isn't built to support automation. Nor is it following PKGBUILD best practices, which dictate that dependencies should be discernible via static inspection. Other tools like Insync, notably dropbox, have met the challenge of supporting multiple desktop and window managers by having separate packages.

@pschmitt, Thanks for the information. Insync for Linux is now out of beta! Please have fun :-)
