From 300beb0a15fff5349e5cc98fdedab3e233ddd707 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas D Steeves Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 16:13:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Make Debian (and derivatives) section more accurate * Include the conventional copy & paste installation instructions that most Ubuntu (and derivatives) users expect. * Request that users test their operating system's app store, because a potential Appstream bug would be highly visible and would negatively affect initial user impressions. Such a hypothetical bug should ideally be found and fixed before Ubuntu 22.10's freeze, and certainly before Debian 12's. * Mention the backports repository, because otherwise users will manually install packages for sid/unstable/testing/bookworm/12 onto stable/bullseye/11. These packages will be nonfunctional, will malfunction, or will break the other package's dependencies. * Remove link to Developer Information Tracker, because it may also mislead users into creating FrankenDebian, and because it is not supposed to be a user-facing page. --- README.md | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 33d908e..c201910 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -242,9 +242,10 @@ See the release section on GitHub. * `syncthingplasmoid`: applet/plasmoid for Plasma desktop * `syncthingfileitemaction`: Dolphin/KIO integration * `syncthingctl`: command-line interface -* Debian - * the packages syncthingtray and syncthingtray-kde-plasma are available in official repositories - * see their [tracker](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/syncthingtray) for available versions and other details +* Debian 12 "bookworm" and its derivatives (Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Neon, etc.) + * `sudo apt install syncthingtray-kde-plasma` if using KDE Plasma; + otherwise, `sudo apt install syncthingtray`.
