Description Joel 2013-12-18 17:38:07 UTC
synergy in fedora is currently at 1.4.10 which is far behind the latest release:

Synergy 1.4.15 was released in October.
http://synergy-foss.org/blog/synergy-1-4-15-released/

This release fixes many bugs and has working encryption support unlike 1.4.10.

Also, it looks like a bunch of the abrt bugs are not for the fedora package but instead for upstream's.

Comment 1 Ken Dreyer 2014-01-22 20:11:03 UTC
Moving this to Rawhide and marking as an RFE so it doesn't get auto-closed.

Comment 2 John Villalovos 2014-01-24 06:44:59 UTC
What will it take to get this done?  It would be great to get the built in encryption feature.

Comment 3 Josh Stone 2014-02-22 23:42:35 UTC
There's 1.4.16 now, which specifically mentions fixing a Fedora issue.

Comment 4 Christopher Meng 2014-07-02 11:18:59 UTC
1.5 is ready.

I think we need to start nonresponsive maintainer process.

Comment 5 Johan Swensson 2014-07-25 22:34:12 UTC
I have been emailing with Christian and offered to co-maintain Synergy with him but he's on vacation at the moment.
In the mean time I have been working on Synergy 1.5 and this has taken a little time to sort out as upstream bundles the crypto library cryptopp but rest assured, things are happening. :)

There is a copr available for testing: http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/opuk/synergy/

Comment 6 Orion Poplawski 2014-12-05 18:18:18 UTC
Looks like 1.5 has hit rawhide: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=567130

Meantime, 1.6.2 is out: https://github.com/synergy/synergy/releases

Comment 7 Johan Swensson 2014-12-20 21:58:36 UTC
1.6.2 is now available in rawhide.

Comment 8 Dan Mossor [danofsatx] 2015-01-07 15:09:33 UTC
Can we get 1.6.2 available in F21? 1.4.16 is broken, the server will not accept 1.5 or newer clients.

Comment 9 Dan Mossor [danofsatx] 2015-02-13 15:47:05 UTC
Synergy is still at synergy-1.4.10-6.fc21.x86_64.rpm in F20 and F21. F22 and Rawhide are at synergy-1.6.2-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm. 

This needs packaged and released to bring it up to date.

Comment 12 Russell Harrison 2015-02-19 23:29:24 UTC
Can we get this updated on F20 as well.  I grabbed the F21 SRPM from koji and built it in mock without issue for F20.

I'm keeping my desktop (the synergys machine) at F20 until some other bugs are resolved.    I've been using it for several days now and it seems to have cleared up several of annoyances I've run into in the past.
