[Feature request] Build Transmission GTK4 with systray support

    • Closed Issue created by Harish Rajagopal @rharish

    Description:

    The transmission-gtk package doesn't include systray support. According to this issue on the Transmission repo: https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/5670, the GTK4 version can be built with systray support using ayatana. Could you make that change?

    Additional info:

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open Transmission.
    2. Open the preferences' menu: Edit > Preferences.
    3. Click on the Desktop tab.
    4. Observe that there is no option to enable minimizing to an icon in the systray.
    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

      Can you please review the 4.0.6-3 packages in [extra-testing] and confirm this is fixed (and nothing else broke!)? Thanks.

      I downloaded the built package from the testing repo, and installed it directly (using pacman -U). However, I still can't see the option to enable the systray in the Transmission settings. Is it because of my installation method? I'm running it on Wayland (Hyprland), if that might also be the culprit.

      I asked upstream (https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/6385#issuecomment-2568011656) whether it's an issue with how we're compiling it (since your commit simply adds libayatana-indicator as a dep & makedep), or whether it's not possible in the first place.

      Please can this new dependency be dropped for the transmission-qt package? It doesn't need it for systray support, and causes gtk3 to be brought in as a dependency.

      namcap suggests the dependency is not needed:

transmission-qt W: Dependency included, but may not be needed ('libayatana-indicator')

      And sure enough, the transmission-qt binary does not link against libayatana-indicator3.so
