Maintain a Debian/Ubuntu repository for stable OS editions?

Feature
1

So far, I’ve downloaded syncthing releases directly from GitHub, validated the GPG signatures, etc. and installed manually. While this is nice, I’d really like to be able to simply add a Debian repository and get new releases automatically for my distribution, which is Ubuntu 14.04 trusty.

Are there any plans for making repositories available? Even a PPA would be a huge improvement. I know that WebUpD8 has made packages available, but I’d really prefer installing from a place maintained and signed by the developers. If you guys need any help maintaining or setting up a repository, I’d be happy to help. At minimum, we could setup FPM and churn out some repositories for the stable Debian and Ubuntu releases.

You seem to be looking for this :wink:

That’s awesome! Thanks!

Is there a plan to include Syncthing GTK in that repository? I haven’t installed it yet, will do shortly. I know that WebUpD8 has builds, but I’d like to trust you guys directly :smile:

I think that’s where @kozec uploads his releases. That - or the github releases page.

Meaning that you believe that syncthing-gtk should be provided by the above Debian repository? If so, that’s great!

So syncthing-gtk is developed by @kozec, where as syncthing is developed by @calmh. syncthing-gtk could be provided by apt.syncthing.net, not sure why it’s not.

I think that’s the right place to get syncthing-gtk, yet I am not 100% sure.

There is a github.com/syncthing/syncthing-gtk, right?

Interesting. If it’s not already published there, it should be IMO.

I think only the windows version is published. Others can download, do pip install, and off they go.

Unfortunately the package dependencies weren’t clear. I tried installing from source and couldn’t figure out which packages I needed to install. If those were clearly defined, I’d stay up to date with pip.
