Subject: Adding Dropbox and updating rclone on wiki?
From: "Dennis Chen" <dchen@dennisc.net>
To: <~alpine/users@lists.alpinelinux.org>

Apologies in advance if this isn't the right place to discuss the wiki.
I've noticed a couple of things on the Alpine wiki:

- https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Rclone is out of date, it claims
  that rclone is not in Alpine's package repositories, but this is
  false. Since the primary value in this wiki page was ostensibly the
  install process, I think it could be removed.

I bring up Dropbox next because rclone makes it easy to sync with
Dropbox.

- In https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Tutorials_and_Howtos, under the
  section "Desktop Environment", several alternatives for Dropbox are
  listed but not Dropbox itself.

  Additionally, it might be helpful to create a wiki page about Dropbox
  that mentions rclone. The official Dropbox client a) isn't in the
  repos, b) is a major PITA to build from source, and c) also is a PITA
  to set up with Flatpak. (I gave up on b) and c) when I learned of
  rclone.)
