New port: syncthing

[subpop (Link Dupont)]

Open source continuous file synchronization application

Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet.

+1 for having syncthing in macports. Just started using syncthing at my Linux devices and would like to say it is a great tool.

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

Ping?

Syncthing is a great tool and I use it daily. Would love to see an official port.

syncthing Portfile update

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

I use this software daily and I found it extremely useful. If there anything I can do to get the package mainlined please let me know.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Sorry for the delay. Some notes/questions:

• link.dupont: Are you still interested in being maintainer? Can we add openmaintainer?
• The revision line should be deleted because 0 is the default value.
• In the notes block, /opt/local/ should be replaced with ${prefix}.

0.14.4

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

Attached updated Portfile.

In the notes block, /opt/local/ should be replaced with ${prefix}.

During install i've got a message

--->  Activating syncthing @0.14.4_0

Syncthing ships with a sample launchd plist that must be configured before use.
Copy ${prefix}/share/syncthing/syncthing.plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and replace USERNAME with your username. Then run: launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/syncthing.plist.

${prefix} is not replaced. Is it expected?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

That is definitely not expected. If that can be figured out, maybe by looking at other ports, I will commit it.

We can make you maintainer if you are interested? link.dupont is not responding.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I'm looking at the bash-completion Portfile, Apparently the notes need to be in quotes rather than in block format.

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

notes takes a normal Tcl string argument. With {} no variable substitution is applied, use "" instead.

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

Quotes work perfectly. Here is an updated Portfile.

Portfile with fixed "notes"

More notes:

• Due to the custom build phase, the universal variant will need to be removed or handled explicitly.
• Are you OK with being maintainer?

[lbschenkel (Leonardo Brondani Schenkel)]

Hi, I submitted a new Portfile in #52324. My bad, I did not notice that there was already a submission open and did not mean to hijack this ticket.

I volunteer to be the maintainer this port, in case there are no other interested. The version I submitted is not very different from the one here, but I believe mine is a bit more compliant with the MacPorts file hierarchy standard. I also plan to add subports later for the other servers (discovery server, relay server, etc.).

In case my Portfile is taken for consideration, I would like some feedback and guidance regarding the decision on how to handle versioning because Syncthing regularly releases new versions which are not backwards-compatible and break the synchronization protocol. More details in #52324.

I think this can be closed due to #52324 having been committed.
