Yes, once you installed and started the program, you should be able to find the settings somewhere. But again, these are per-user settings. If you don't disable the auto update feature you get a popup every 20 minutes or so saying there's an update (yes, even though the program from the website is up to date, I don't know why it wants to update anyway).

Hi,

I just created a package for OneSwarm [1] and uploaded it to the AUR [2]. The package works fine except that it has an auto-update feature, which of course doesn't work since the user does not have write access to /opt/OneSwarm. What is the correct way of dealing with this? Should I make /opt/OneSwarm writable by the users group?

Thanks,

Mathias

Is there a way to disable this feature?

If any other distros have this packaged, they probably have a patch to disable this.  I'd check them out.

Agreed, patching it out seems the way to go if the software is that stupid
