Arch Linux User Repository

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:

• Switch to the Qt 6 based version. There is probably no good reason to still use the Qt 5 based version under GNU/Linux.
• 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.

@NovaViper I cannot help you with anything specific to EndeavourOS but please be aware that you need to build dependencies of this package before building this package itself (except of course dependencies that are already provided by official repositories).

When I try to install this package on EndeavourOS, I get this error

Could not find all required packages:
  libc++utilities.so (Wanted by: syncthingtray)
  libqtforkawesome.so (Wanted by: syncthingtray)
  libqtutilities.so (Wanted by: syncthingtray)

How do I fix this error?

You need to rebuild c++utilities first.

You're not the first user to run into this problem. I'm really wondering why you would assume it makes sense to (re)build syncthingtray before its dependency c++utilities. If you're using an AUR helper you should likely move to using a better one or report a bug. However, I suggest to simply run makepkg/makechrootpkg manually and read various Wiki pages to understand how package building works. If you're lazy, I also provide a binary repository (see pinned comment).

I'm getting an error upgrading:

@mattalxndr Remove syncthingtray from your autostart, or disable the plasmoid from the list of entries in the tray settings.

For some reason, whenever I install this, I get both the plasmoid and the syncthingtray icons in the tray. How do I avoid having two icons in the tray that do virtually the same thing (other than hiding one of them in the overflow menu).

@VyacheslavS Impossible to tell what's going wrong without logs. Checkout the pinned comment for how to ignore test failures. (Although it might be worthwhile looking into them.)

To who flagged the package: Please rebuild packages in the right order. Nothing is outdated here. Please refrain from flagging a package if you run into a problem.

@Martchus - I understand now, thank you. I uninstalled the "syncthingtray-git" repo and went back to "syncthingtray" and it worked fine. As you said, just luck that the act of rebuilding from repo switch fixes it, not the alt repo itself.
