Description Austin English 2020-07-13 10:40:28 UTC

The documentation upstream suggests autostarting by copying the .desktop file to ~/.config/autostart [1], but it isn't installed.

Running 'ebuild syncthing-1.3.4-r1.ebuild install shows that there are two desktop files in the workdir available:
austin@laptop /var/portage/repos/gentoo/net-p2p/syncthing $ find /var/tmp/portage/net-p2p/syncthing-1.3.4-r1/ -iname \*.desktop
/var/tmp/portage/net-p2p/syncthing-1.3.4-r1/work/syncthing-1.3.4/etc/linux-desktop/syncthing-start.desktop
/var/tmp/portage/net-p2p/syncthing-1.3.4-r1/work/syncthing-1.3.4/etc/linux-desktop/syncthing-ui.desktop

The situation is the same in 1.5.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge net-p2p/syncthing
qlist net-p2p/syncthing | grep desktop
Actual Results:  
No files found

Expected Results:  
Desktop files installed/found.

I wouldn't say they actually suggest using autostart, they just mention it as an option - but good call nevertheless, many Gentoo users do not run systemd. I'll address that in 1.7.1.
