SFOS ≥ 4.6 (Foreca / MeeCast): How to (re-)enable weather infos in Events View

[olf]

@filip.k

Ok, how can I test?

You already did test nicely by setting the OS release manually to 4.3.0.15 in SailfishOS:Chum GUI app.

It seems to me that MeeCast 1.11.7 works as app.

Yes, that is the reason why I already acted upon your observation: The next MeeCast release at OpenReops will be complied for SailfishOS 4.3.0 (as likely the current releases there are, too).

@olf

But this statement irritates me:

Others doesn’t seem to do anything.

• Which “others”?
• And what did you intend to express with “not doing anything”?
  E.g. what was the behaviour you expected from the “others” (i.e. to do what?)?

Sorry for shity reporting I should write the whole names: MeeCast eventview widget and MeeCast lockscreen widget.

And the exact results:

• I could not install MeeCast eventview widget. Idea was that it’s is needed for the events screen. Top message said:
  “Nothing provides sailfish-version < 4.6.0 needed by the to be installed harbour-meecast-event-1.11.7-1.3.1.jolla.arch64”

That was expected (hence I suggested to test only with MeeCast proper), only the package “harbour-meecast-eventview” installs on SailfishOS ≥ 4.6.0, which at SailfishOS:Chum is only offered for SailfishOS ≥ 4.6.0. As you manually set the SailfishOS:Chum GUI app to use packages for 4.3.0.15, the appropriate package for SailfishOS < 4.6.0 (harbour-meecast-event) is downloaded and tried to install.

• MeeCast lockscreen widget did install but I didn’t notice any difference on the lock or events screen. Idea was that it’s is needed for the lock screen.

IIRC the status of the MeeCast lockscreen widget is “broken on recent SailfishOS releases” and “disabled in MeeCast’s code base”; see also [Suggestion] Update `MeeCast lockscreen` with enhancements by `anig` and (optionally) convert it to a Web Catalog Patch · Issue #63 · Meecast/meecast · GitHub.

I’ll see if I can reproduce Chum bug and report it on github.

Thanks for your patience.

I feel it is me having to thank you for your efforts, which are very helpful.
