I'm the maintainer of both Deskflow and Synergy. Deskflow and Synergy are different projects currently in development, but the Fedora Deskflow package claims to replace the Synergy package. This causes a lot of confusion and disruption, e.g.: https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/issues/8993 I strongly recommend that the Deskflow package should not replace Synergy packages, as Deskflow cannot and will never read Synergy configs. Deskflow is designed to be protocol-compatible with Synergy, but that's all. The idea is that you can use Synergy on one machine and Deskflow on another. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Synergy 2. Update Fedora Actual Results: Synergy is removed and Deskflow is installed Expected Results: Synergy remains and Deskflow is not installed Additional Information: The confusion may be caused here because Deskflow became the upstream of Synergy last year (much like how Fedora is upstream of Red Hat). Synergy: https://github.com/symless/synergy Deskflow: https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow Other useful resources: https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/wiki/Relationship-with-Synergy https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/wiki/History
It was intended to replace Fedora's dead synergy package, which *was* replaced by deskflow. I'm not sure what we can do here because we do need that replacement to happen ordinarily.
