https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=297040 --- Comment #1 from Volodymyr Kostyrko <arcade@b1t.name> --- Hello. # Current state of things with app Resilio Sync is abandonware, period. Newer versions distributed have minor fixes and linking updates, but otherwise no new development happens - no new features, no memory bugs fixed, no optimizations. Since version 3.0 Resilio Sync comes fully free. You still have to register, but you obtain full unlock key, for free. Same key applies to last 2.x version in this port with no issues. # Current state of things with a port Just tried again: # make checksum ===> License EULA accepted by the user ===> rslsync-2.8.1.1390 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found => resilio-sync_freebsd_x64.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/rslsync-2.8.1.1390. => Attempting to fetch https://download-cdn.resilio.com/2.8.1.1390/freebsd/x64/0/resilio-sync_freebsd_x64.tar.gz resilio-sync_freebsd_x64.tar.gz 12 MB 2556 kBps 05s ===> Fetching all distfiles required by rslsync-2.8.1.1390 for building => SHA256 Checksum OK for rslsync-2.8.1.1390/resilio-sync_freebsd_x64.tar.gz. # make ARCH=i386 checksum ===> License EULA accepted by the user ===> rslsync-2.8.1.1390 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found => resilio-sync_freebsd_i386.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/rslsync-2.8.1.1390. => Attempting to fetch https://download-cdn.resilio.com/2.8.1.1390/freebsd/i386/0/resilio-sync_freebsd_i386.tar.gz resilio-sync_freebsd_i386.tar.gz 12 MB 2592 kBps 05s ===> Fetching all distfiles required by rslsync-2.8.1.1390 for building => SHA256 Checksum OK for rslsync-2.8.1.1390/resilio-sync_freebsd_i386.tar.gz. Works. # What can be done to upgrade I already tried to switch to linux version, but it also brings in whole Linuxulator. Not fancy at all. Another option is to go with podman/container, I think there's one with current version of resiliosync available, haven't tested it though. # Fetching issues It's not the first time I see reports about files being unfetchable, and with a high probability, those are due to the target country is blocked for legal concerns. Can't help here. # Conclusion There are no newer versions for FreeBSD, but last version is still usable and probably is still used by some people (including me). Adding a deprecation line in a distant future (like 5 years from now) would be a good nudge to search for alternatives, but I don't think removing the working port in coming year or faster will benefit users. Hope this helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
