Hello Markus, thank you sooo much for taking the time to do that. It is very much appreciated. I already tried and tested Syncany from the experimental repo and it seems to work like a charm: https://github.com/syncany/syncany/issues/261#issuecomment-157799167
I agree 100% with your judgement with regards to the stability. While we have made tremendous progress, I think we are not mature enough for an LTS :D Yes it is correct to install global plugins in the same directory where the other JARs reside. And yes, Syncany can detect the difference between "User" and "Global" plugins: - Plugins installed with "sy plugin install <id>" are "User" plugins (e.g. installed in /home/pheckel/.config/syncany/plugins/lib/syncany-plugin-ftp-0.4.0-alpha.jar). - Plugins installed via "apt-get install syncany-plugin-<id>" are "Global" plugins (e.g. installed in /usr/share/syncany/lib/syncany-plugin-ftp-0.4.0-alpha.jar). $ sy plugin list Id | Name | Local Version | Type | Remote Version | Updatable | Provided By --------+--------------------+--------------------------------------------+--------+----------------+-----------+------------- azure | Azure Blob Storage | | | 0.4.6-alpha | | Third Party dropbox | Dropbox | | | 0.4.5-alpha | | Syncany Team flickr | Flickr | 0.4.1-alpha | User | 0.4.1-alpha | | Syncany Team ftp | FTP | 0.4.0-alpha | Global | 0.4.0-alpha | | Syncany Team gui | GUI | | | 0.4.7-alpha | | Syncany Team local | Local | 0.4.7-alpha | Global | | | Syncany Team raid0 | RAID0 | | | 0.4.0-alpha | | Syncany Team s3 | Amazon S3 | | | 0.4.6-alpha | | Syncany Team samba | Samba | 0.4.1-alpha | User | 0.4.1-alpha | | Syncany Team sftp | SFTP | 0.4.5-alpha+SNAPSHOT.1503141808.gitb0911cd | User | 0.4.5-alpha | | Syncany Team swift | OpenStack Swift | | | 0.4.0-alpha | | Syncany Team webdav | WebDAV | 0.4.0-alpha | User | 0.4.0-alpha | | Syncany Team Our build process already creates .deb files and adds everything to a repo. Obviously it doesn't fit the Debian standards (yet), but it'll be a good starting point maybe. Check out: - http://get.syncany.org/apt/release/pool/main/s/ - https://travis-ci.org/syncany/syncany-plugin-ftp - http://syncany.readthedocs.org/en/latest/plugins.html Please let me know if we can make the original repo more Debian-standard compatible so your work will be easier.
