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:

• 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.

Are you using the Qt Widgets based version or the Plasmoid?

The Qt Widgets based version (provided by this package using Qt 6) will only look like its Qt 5 based equivalent when the same Qt Widgets style is installed and configured. The Breeze style is only available for Qt 5 so far - unless you install the RC version from the kde-unstable repo.

If you are using the Plasmoid then the appearance of the Syncthing Tray Plasmoid will always look in-line with the Plasma shell but of course you need Plasma from the kde-unstable repo to be able to use the Plasmoid contained by this package.

If you're not sure whether you use the Qt Widgets based version or the Plasmoid then read https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray?tab=readme-ov-file#configuring-plasmoid.

Hey Martchus: Thanks for providing already this for Plasma 6! I wonder if it's possible to have a similar style/behaviour as with Plasma 5.x/Qt5. I tried changing the settings, but I can't make it look as a system tray panel as I was doing with syncthingtray with Qt5. Is this what you mean by "KDE integrations for KDE 6" in your pinned comment?

By the way, the current soname of the dav1d library is libdav1d.so.7. That means at least your dav1d version is behind which is not good because partial updates are generally not supported.

Looks like your ffmpeg/dav1d builds are not compatible. That is not related to syncthingtray itself.

Just rebuild against the new version of boost.

Hi,

new version of libboost breaks dependency of this package. Any chance you can make this compatible with libboost 1.83.0-2?

:: Starting full system upgrade...

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

I think yay will support this way of specifying dependencies in the future. At least I saw some statement about it somewhere on GitHub. Note that yay shouldn't be the limiting factor for what pacman/makepkg features to use.

Please fix your packages to work with YAY at the very least. Or consider "fixing" yay instead so that your beloved way of using "depends" works.

What you're doing here just wastes peoples time trying to figure out how to use your great creation (syncthingtray)! Your preferred way to use depends doesn't tell us which package we need to install. Using yay and makepkg it just tells you about missing dependencies that look like libraries. Using this very page i'm commenting on is the ONLY way to see which package i actually need to install.

The result of this is that we - those that want to try this package out - are forced to resolve the dependencies ourselves. This should be a solved problem in linux. Therefore again, don't introduce your own "i know better" dependency hell. Help yay out to resolve this or "follow the crowd" and fix it so it's usable.
