Is there an sfdk usable build target of SFOS 5.2(.0.16) to allow building programs for J2

@jolla I used to build programs for the Jolla C2, using a docker container based on sfdk and sb2 .

Yesterday, I thought I’d set up build environment for the new Jolla Phone. Based on the listing on page Index of /sdk/targets/ , and listing given by the command sfdk tools list -a there isn’t a publicly available target for SFOS 5.2.

Can an estimation be given, of how could it possible take to publish the target for SFOS 5.2?

Apologies if I am mixing some terminology in this post.

I had to rework some programs I wrote for 5.0.X for my J2 on 5.2.X and using the 5.1 developer image worked fine for what I needed to accomplish.

There is on https://build.sailfishos.org/

@ellemmennoppi Some programs compiled with the 5.1 image do work nicely on SFOS 5.2., though this depends on the program. Thanks for mentioning that.

@ohnonot Thank you. I tried looking for instructions, at least OBS usage from OpenSUSE videos linked. It seems that OBS cannot see any templates at the moment, and Image Creation service is currently unavailable, according to Image Creator page under Development Services. Is this OBS system purely for building RPMs? Is it possible to build custom tools from Git repositories, which don’t produce an RPM package?

An example: I manually built a client for Proxmark NFC tool, from this repo: GitHub - RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3: Iceman Fork - Proxmark3 · GitHub

Can the OBS be used for such use case, link the given repo and it compiles the client (no RPM references, no spec file and so on)? Sorry for a possibly confusing phrasing. I’m totally new to OBS.

I can’t really help you with that, I’m barely staying afloat on OBS
