[arch-general] ownCloud vs. nextcloud
Helloes! I wonder what Arch's/Sergej Pupykin's position towards nextcloud is. It seems that ownCloud lost most of its developers to the schism introduced last year. This led to many apps not being (mainly) developed by them anymore and moving into the hands of nextcloud and/or being more actively developed by nextcloud now (bookmarks, news, calendar, etc.) There definitely also has been a problem transitioning from php 7.0.x to 7.1 as the current version of ownCloud now has a "hotfix" applied that just suppresses the error message (which would render owncloud useless, as owncloud < 9.2 suppossedly doesn't work with php 7.1). The bookmark app is currently unusable (unable to add new bookmarks due to an old version of guzzlehttp dependency) and I wonder how much more of that we'll have incoming. Wouldn't it be better to switch to nextcloud in the community repository at this point? Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

Might be wise to include him in the TO field then ;-)

You could make a bug report on our tracker under the community section :) -- Jelle van der Waa

I could, sure (and will, if this seems preferred). But what is this? A feature request? Just wondered, if this discussion would not be something more suited for the mailing. Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

I'd just vote for the package (if it enters community) to remove the set-perms[1] script since it makes no sense, if you run the app with its own user (for ex. uwsgi systemd service, user nextcloud). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/set-nc-perms.sh?h=nextcloud -- damjan
