Linux: Seadrive only client available in stretch repo #883

Closed mrjovanovic closed 7 years ago

mrjovanovic commented 7 years ago

Hey folks, so a SeaDrive linux client is the only one available in my stretch bintray repo.

Expected behavior: installs ccnet seafile-gui seafile-deamon and seafile-cli

Actual behavior: 

grep Package /var/lib/apt/lists/dl.bintray.com_seafile-org_deb_dists_stretch_main_binary-amd64_Packages 
Package: libsearpc-dbg
Package: libsearpc-dbg
Package: libsearpc-dev
Package: libsearpc-dev
Package: libsearpc1
Package: libsearpc1
Package: seadrive-daemon
Package: seadrive-daemon-dbg
Package: seadrive-gui
Package: seadrive-gui-dbg

Am I doing something wrong?

I have no idea how to use this. Is this a new client? Is the old one deprecated? If these are the only features available in the future, we'll have to move away from Seafile. We use it as a backup and file syncing solution, and prefer to have all the files available offline at all times. Likewise, without the ability to sync symlinked folders, see sync status, set particular libraries to be synced (all features on the old client) it's quite useless for us, unfortunately.

Yes, the linked one is the drive client, but is has no influence on the "normal" client. The Drive Client can be used in addition to the normal Seafile client, but there is no need to use it and the "normal" Seafile client is supported and developed.

mrjovanovic commented 7 years ago

Thank you for the response. I am so happy to hear that the Seafile client is supported. However, my issue is that the Seafile client packages are not in the stretch bintray repository (see command above). The client cannot be installed or updated.

Afaik it is in the Debian repository. Search using apt-cache.

mrjovanovic commented 7 years ago

In sid, yes. Doesn't appear to be in stretch.

If you're talking about bintray, it isn't there for me. Look for yourself.

shoeper commented 7 years ago

Ok, your right. There currently is no stretch repository.

Thanks for the response! FYI, the *.deb files from the Ubuntu PPA work fine on stretch.

Debian repository for Stretch is not yet available. We'll add it later. But you can already use the client packages from official Debian unstable branch. It's now maintained by Debian developers.

shoeper commented 7 years ago

How do you expect someone to do that? It's really a pain to do something like that.

mrjovanovic commented 7 years ago

@killing Closing the bug doesn't make sense at all. The bug says that the Seafile client is missing from the stretch repo. That is still not resolved. A user that follows installation instructions on the website would encounter an error.

I apologize if this is inappropriate, but it's quite frustrating that this issue isn't being taken seriously. The existing .deb files for 6.0.4 work fine in jessie. It's just about uploading them to bintray. It's only a few minutes of work.

As for using files from sid - that is not something that one is supposed to do.

Actually you can use testing and unstable sources if you set them up properly, without harming your system. See http://www.binarytides.com/enable-testing-repo-debian/ There are many people uses testing sources regularly in Debian. It's simply because the testing sources have newer versions of packages.

Okay, I'll keep this open.

mrjovanovic commented 7 years ago

Thank you for keeping it open! I think it's really about putting the packages on the bintray repo. As I said, existing 6.0.4 ones from the Ubuntu PPA work perfectly. :)

mrjovanovic commented 7 years ago

As per #936, seafile is now available in stretch-backports. Great news!
