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-qt6 broken until it has been rebuilt) or to uninstall syncthingtray-qt6 temporarily before the update. After the update syncthingtray-qt6 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-qt6, qtforkawesome-qt6 and syncthingtray-qt6 in that order.
  • The KDE integrations have been ported to KDE 6. This package builds KDE integrations for KDE 6 by default as KDE 6 is now in the main repositories.
  • 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.

Sorry for disturbing, When I try to update boost-libs, got this message:

:: installing boost-libs (1.87.0-3) breaks dependency 'boost-libs=1.86.0' required by boost :: installing boost-libs (1.87.0-3) breaks dependency 'libboost_filesystem.so=1.86.0-64' required by syncthingtray-qt6

Ok, this changes the whole meaning of course. Then I'm sorry for my reaction but please understand that it makes no sense to imply knowledge about this 3rd party repo here. The person maintaining it probably needs to be addressed elsewhere anyway.

Note that there will always be a delay until 3rd party repos are updated. If you use mine the the delay is usually pretty short as I keep track of what Arch devs are doing and sometimes already build against their staging/testing repos so I only need to move packages when they do.

@Martchus They're talking about this Chaotic AUR

@OzzyHelix But the package has no problem and this should become clear by reading the pinned comment or previous comments by others. If you still think there is "a problem" please point this out in detail any why the solution mentioned on the pinned comment is not applicable.

Since you find this package chaotic¹: I have more use cases in mind with this than "the standard build" and therefore need to make this co-installable with other versions and configurable via certain variables. If others find this unacceptable as well I won't be in the way and disown the package so someone else can maintain it².

@mEDI_S Note that you only have to rebuild syncthingtray-qt6 itself. The other dependencies don't link against boost and therefore also don't need to be rebuilt.

¹ It would also be more constructive to give suggestions to fix real problems instead of just calling someone's work "chaotic".

² I am maintaining this for myself on https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs and only uploading this on the AUR for you. So I don't really care what you do with this on the AUR - except that bad packaging might lead to annoying issues being filed on the upstream bugtracker on GitHub.

I was just trying to inform people that the chaotic AUR's version of this package had a problem

OzzyHelix commented on 2025-02-09 02:48 (UTC)

whoever is maintaining the chaotic aur package for this needs to update their package it is causing dependacies issues

:: installing boost-libs (1.87.0-2) breaks dependency 'libboost_filesystem.so=1.86.0-64' required by syncthingtray-qt6

FreePenguin commented on 2025-02-08 12:12 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for explanation, maybe I should read pinned comments before suggesting something next time.

This work for me to fix the depends

sys upgrade with -d

-d, --nodeps Skips dependency version checks

rebuild all depends

rebuild syncthingtray-qt6

$ upgrade and reinstall

sudo pacman -Suyd

yay -S --answerclean All --rebuildall c++utilities qtutilities-qt6 qtforkawesome-qt6

yay -S --answerclean All --rebuildall syncthingtray-qt6

gl

ps: -d is dangerous and have u to many packages to update is the better way to remove, upgrade and reinstall syncthingtray-qt6

Martchus commented on 2025-02-07 19:25 (UTC)

Like I said, you just have to rebuild this package against the new version of boost.
