Description Per Nelvig 2020-11-24 09:42:43 CET

Description of problem:

Until Mageia 6 there existed packages for syncthing änd syncthing gtk.
In Mageia 7, and seemingly Cauldron, support for syncthing is missing. By coincidence or deliberately?

Found a working version with webui at http://www.mageia-gr.org/rpm/7/x86_64/.

Why not include this in original mga 7 and Cauldron repos?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Subject: Re: [dev] [discuss] Syncthing

 You can provide it in a COPR if you really want, but as has previously been
 discussed (over and over again) there are several reasons we can't provide
 this in the distribution, and it's unnecessary as there is an AppImage
 available.

Closing as wont fix.

I agree.

You can also search this bugzilla, or the forum.

Syncthing is running nicely for me. Appimage.

If the one you link to works, nice :)
