Keep main as an upstream mirror while storing the local .stignore behavior, GUI marker, reusable patch files, and Gitea release workflow in one replayable branch commit.
Local Syncthing Patches
Apply the local patches manually after pulling a new upstream Syncthing release:
git apply patches/sync-stignore.patch patches/webui-build-marker.patch
go run build.go -build-out bin/syncthing-stignore build syncthing
The automated release flow uses:
./scripts/update-custom-release.sh
By default the script finds the latest stable upstream tag, creates a local
custom/<version>-<suffix> branch, applies all local patches, removes upstream
GitHub/Gitea workflow files from the release commit, tags
<upstream>-stignore.6, regenerates embedded GUI assets, runs focused tests,
and writes build artifacts to dist/.
Useful options:
CUSTOM_RELEASE_UPSTREAM_TAG=v2.1.0 ./scripts/update-custom-release.sh
CUSTOM_RELEASE_FORCE=1 ./scripts/update-custom-release.sh
CUSTOM_RELEASE_PATCHES="patches/sync-stignore.patch patches/webui-build-marker.patch" ./scripts/update-custom-release.sh
CUSTOM_RELEASE_PUSH=1 CUSTOM_RELEASE_REMOTE=gitea ./scripts/update-custom-release.sh
CUSTOM_RELEASE_PUSH=1 CUSTOM_RELEASE_PUSH_BRANCH=1 CUSTOM_RELEASE_REMOTE=gitea ./scripts/update-custom-release.sh
CUSTOM_RELEASE_CREATE_GITEA_RELEASE=1 CUSTOM_RELEASE_TEA_REPO=felixfoertsch/syncthing ./scripts/update-custom-release.sh
CUSTOM_RELEASE_BUILDS="darwin/amd64/zip darwin/arm64/zip linux/amd64/tar linux/arm64/tar" ./scripts/update-custom-release.sh
The Gitea workflow in .gitea/workflows/custom-release.yml runs the script when
the local patchset changes on felix/release-automation, on a schedule, and on
manual dispatch. The repository's main branch stays a clean upstream mirror.
The workflow detects the latest upstream Syncthing stable tag, exits if the
matching custom tag already exists, pushes only the <upstream>-stignore.6 tag
by default, and publishes the Gitea release assets.
The local custom/<version> branch is only pushed when
CUSTOM_RELEASE_PUSH_BRANCH=1 is set. The workflow builds macOS amd64, macOS
arm64, Linux amd64, and Linux arm64 archives.
The patch makes root-level .stignore sync like regular folder content while
keeping .stfolder and .stversions protected as internal Syncthing paths.
The web UI patch adds It syncs .stignore now! to the GUI footer so the custom
binary is visually distinguishable from upstream builds. The release test fails
if the generated GUI asset bundle does not contain that marker.
