Description Buchan Milne 2016-08-04 15:57:53 CEST

Description of problem:

Newer versions of synergy (e.g. 1.7.x provided in EPEL for RHEL7) refuse to connect to the 1.5.0 provided in Mageia 5

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
synergy-1.5.0-3.1.mga5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. [mageia5]$ sudo rurpmi synergy && synergys -f
2. [rhel7]$ sudo yum install -y synergy && synergyc mageia5
3. Error message on rhel7 indicating the synergy version is too old on the server

I have built the current cauldron package on my machine to test and workaround this issue, and everything worked fine.

However, older clients (e.g. my other mageia machine) had problems with copy/paste until they were upgraded as well, so this probably shouldn't necessarily be pushed to updates.

Assigning to synergy maintainer, but CC'ing all packagers collectively, because the maintainer is probably still too busy in RL.

Hi Buchan,

Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue!

Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED

If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues.

If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set Version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard.

Thanks,
Marja

(In case this report needs to stay open for a supported release: Reassigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no longer a registered maintainer for this package.)

@ blingme

No reply, so closing as OLD since Mageia 5 is no longer maintained and I assume you're happy with the current Mga6 synergy version.

Resolution: (none) => OLD
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
