Sailfish Community News, 18th January - Community Event

I see. So base system updates.

IIRC there are one or two key components blocking upgrades of a few crucial libraries, which then cascades through the whole OS.

AFAIK there is some reported work on OpenSSL 3 series, but that is all I know; as for systemd, it heavily relies on newer kernels, so Jolla would have to either:

  • Drop support for the Xperia X (they refused to upgrade it to 4.4 or 4.9, even if the code is available)
  • Patch the living daylight out of systemd

For the compositor, I am not sure what you mean there or are looking forward to. Qt upgrade for newer QtWayland is never going to happen.

Hmm, this could be the proprietary plugin more than anything. Maybe a feature request would help?

You can write your own compositor without a toolkit as far as i understand and then there are libraries that help with that (wlroots). Bigger task than using a toolkit but i don’t see another way forward since QT is not going to be updated anytime soon.

I’m sorry you’re unwell and won’t be able to make it @Nokius; I was looking forward to seeing you there.

I’ll pass on the details about the nuts. I’m not sure how strict the restaurant will be able to be with this, so Carston should double check when he arrives.

Confirm! I eat everything and anything! Except maybe rubber tyres, but I’ve never tried them fried yet.
