All my packages are managed at GitHub where you can also contribute directly: https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs
There also exist a binary repository: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#ownstuff

Important remarks:

  • The packages within the binary repository are built against the latest packages from Arch Linux and hence might not be compatible with Manjaro. This can be the cause when the Plasmoid doesn't work.
  • Like with any other package a rebuild is required when the soname of a dependency like boost changes (see e.g. https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray/issues/98). The package in my binary repository should be rebuilt in a timely manner. I'm also sometimes updating pkgrel of the AUR package when a rebuild is required (only in accordance with Arch Linux of course, not in accordance with Manjaro).
    • The "dirty" way is forcing the installation/update (leaving syncthingtray broken until it has been rebuilt) or to uninstall syncthingtray temporarily before the update. After the update syncthingtray can be rebuilt and reinstalled again.
    • The correct solution is to use makechrootpkg which is also how official developers build their packages (and how packages in my binary repository are built).
  • It is required to build dependencies (that are not provided by Arch Linux itself) before building this package. So you need to build c++utilities, qtutilities, qtforkawesome and syncthingtray in that order.
  • The KDE integrations have been ported to KDE 6 but building them for KDE 5 should still work. This package does not build any KDE integrations by default because KDE 6 is now in the main repositories. To build KDE integrations for KDE 6 you need to install syncthingtray-qt6 instead of this package.
  • Note that the tests of this package might fail despite there's nothing wrong (e. g. because Syncthing is just too slow and the test runs in a timeout). To ignore those false-positives, build the package with makepkg --nocheck or makechrootpkg -- --nocheck. It makes still sense to report failures. But please include the actual error message and not just the last few lines.

For others using any AUR helper (Manjaro, out-of-box for example) with TESTS failing due to $HOME not being defined, try to git-clone the repo, then makepkg -si (after installing c++utilities, qtforkawesome, and qtutilities).

I wrote a script to circumvent all the curiosities for installation :) https://code.ftt.gmbh/janek/dotfiles/src/branch/main/.local/bin/scripts/synctray

Yes I did that. You have to select to CleanBuild it after yay -S syncthingtray.

I cannot update my system the normal way (with yay) because something breaks with syncthingtray.

The quick way (via yay) to do it is to update your system with the -d or --nodeps flag, which ignores the version and lets your system upgrade. Then you're left with a broken syncthingtray. To fix it, reinstall it with yay -S syncthingtray.

You need to rebuild this package against the new version of boost. I've already mentioned this in a previous comment:

The "dirty" way is forcing the installation (I suppose there's some pacman flag) or to uninstall the old version of syncthingtray temporarily. The correct solution is to use makechrootpkg which is also how official developers build their packages (and how packages in my binary repository are built).

EDIT: I have also updated the pinned comment with these instructions.

I cannot update my system the normal way (with yay) because something breaks with syncthingtray. When I run yay, it bails out with:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: installing boost-libs (1.81.0-2) breaks dependency 'libboost_filesystem.so=1.80.0-64' required by syncthingtray

How to proceed?

Martchus commented on 2023-01-23 21:05 (UTC)

No, just rebuild the package against the new version of boost.
