Updated to 3.16.3.0.
Removed the patch that previously substituted /bin/systemctl with /usr/bin/systemctl. Everyone should be on the new filesystem layout now where /bin/ symlinks to /usr/bin/.

As for http://localhost:59234, the package installs a launcher in /usr/share/applications/symform.desktop that starts a browser with the appropriate url.
I added it's action to be automatically executed in the post install script as per your suggestion ;)

Also, instructing people somehow to after installation visit http://localhost:59234 to configure the node would be nice. I had to go to the postinst script to figure it out :-)

I suspect that on other distros it just pops up a web browser automatically or something.

It seems that the md5sum has updated since you posted it. Otherwise it still appears to work.

This is my first public AUR package, so please inform of problems if any.
Symform seems to self-update, so disable /opt/symform/scripts/SymformUpdater.sh if you'd like to prevent that.
Also, symformsync sometimes tends to spike up CPU usage. I use "sudo cpulimit -l 20 -p `pidof symformsync`" for that :)

It also runs services as root (though lowers privileges when possible). I suppose a AppArmor profile would be good to have.
