Sailfish OS Community Calendar (ICS format)

Even if you do not participate, topics tend to generate discussion. I want to see discussion happening. Thus, I’m proposing that we’d use 10mins as minimum topic duration. Maximum 6 topics a week. We’ll continue with the extended 90 mins meeting duration.

Jolla to check action points from the previous meeting. We agreed today that we’ll start to follow up action points on each meeting.

Topic proposals for the meeting:

  • Add your name/nick using the template below to suggest a topic.
  • Indicate how much time you’ll need so we can time-box the meeting accordingly.
  • Please be as thorough as you can with your question/topic.
  • If you can’t make the meeting please ask and name a substitute.

It is expected that you show up and present your topic, or name a substitute and make sure they attend in your absence. These IRC meetings are for real time participation and live discussions, otherwise you can post the topic on here and get responses that way.

We need you to be present to clarify details in the topic, and to ensure the discussion is leading to the answers you are looking for! If you do not participate or your question/topic isn’t clear enough it will be postponed. Also: always ask for more time than you anticipate your topic needs!

Please have your topics ready at least 3 days before the meeting so we can prepare good answers. Topics announced afterwards will be postponed to the next meeting.

Template for topic proposal: (post your topic proposals as comments to this forum topic).

  • Name/IRC nick: @jmerono (Julio)

  • Topic: AppSupport on other community ports (particularly on the Xperia 1 and 5 IV)

  • Some details about the topic: Following what was mentioned in the previous community meeting regarding the Xperia 10 IV and V, I wondered if there were any plans to extend that to other well-supported ports (like on @rinigus‘s Nagara ports). If so, I understand the team may be busy with the JP2026 among other things, but may we have an estimate of when we will have it?

  • Approx. time needed: 5 mins

  • Substitute (optional): I will try to be online for the meeting, but I’m not sure

  • Name/IRC nick: rubdos / Ruben De Smet
  • Topic: OBS dependencies in tooling/chroot
  • Some details about the topic: To build Whisperfish, we often require a version of Rust and LLVM that leads the version provided by Jolla. I build and host these packages on my home server, such that our CI system can build them, and the resulting RPMs end up on OpenRepos. I’d like to offer Whisperfish on Chum, however. This means we’d need to compile Rust/LLVM on Chum, such that I can build-depend on them. However, Rust builds through an sb2 shim, which means that the actual rustc and cargo dependencies need to be available in the tooling and even in the chroot. See our Dockerfile for exact prereqs. As far as I understand, this is not currently possible to specify in OBS. More context at Show home:rubdos:whisperfish / Rust - SailfishOS Open Build Service and Show home:rubdos:whisperfish / llvm - SailfishOS Open Build Service. Would it be possible to get some help to get this going? I’m not entirely sure whether I can hack this in myself, or whether I need Jolla’s or the community’s help on this.
  • Approx. time needed: 10 min
  • Substitute (optional): (@direc85, if he’s available, but a kind ping from anyone would be helpful as a reminder)
