PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners (lemmy.world)

Overview here

https://forum.syncthing.net/t/does-anyone-know-why-syncthing-fork-is-no-longer-available-on-github/25661/39

The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

I'm still seeing it here?

Interesting - mine is syncthing-fork 1.30.0.4. When I go to the App Info page it says "App installed from F-Droid" and when I tap on that button I get a small pop-up that says "No such app found."

The 2.0 update was made into a new package in fdroid, so that you paid close attention to the upgrade, as it could maybe break things.

Same exact scenario here. Hmm

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Add me to the list with this exact issue.

You guys all missed the Syncthing 2.0 upgrade.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think everyone misses the upgrade except new installs, how users (including power users) can know that they have to uninstall the old app, potentially lose all the settings , then reinstall and reconfigure?
