Obviously he meant build it and make it available for others

23

At first i thought it has to be built by device but no it doesn’t

https://build.sailfishos.org/project/show/home:mister

add repo Index of /obs/home:/mister/latest_aarch64

or other arch if you want

install mlite and the mlsdb plugin

You can also use the fork at GitHub - nephros/geoclue-providers-mlsdb
Branch bp-beacondb

my version does not require mlite, and includes a package for the config file.

https://build.sailfishos.org/project/show/home:nephros:sailfishos:backports:5.0

NOTE: packages from that OBS source set a vendor in the rpms, so they become a bit harder to install and update. This is on purpose.
You are on your own making sure this does not break your next update.

Does this work on sfos 4.5?

26

Don’t know, but it should be easy to cherry-pick on top of the relevant tag.

What’s the version of the 4.5 package?

Name : geoclue-provider-mlsdb
Version : 0.1.7-1.5.1.jolla

28

Ah, the same as 4.4. In that case you can use branch bp-beacondb-4.4.

And yes, that works.

All packages at State of Repository 5.0_aarch64 for home:nephros:sailfishos:backports:5.0 / geoclue-providers-mlsdb - SailfishOS Open Build Service need to be installed?

31

No, just

  • geoclue-provider-mlsdb-beacondb
  • geoclue-provider-mlsdb-beacondb-config

Again, make sure you remember to downgrade to official versions before any OS updates. (-config must be removed as there is no official version)

32

What’s the best way to do that? Is disabling all third party repos and

devel-su
pkcon refresh
version --dup

a way to go?

33

Why am I not seeing ...-config package at Index of /obs/home:/nephros:/sailfishos:/backports:/5.0/5.0_aarch64/aarch64 what am I missing?

34

Look in noarch subdir, parallel to aarch64 :wink:

Answering my own question:

zypper in -f --repo jolla geoclue-provider-mlsdb

should be the way.

36

Lets be honest it will change to jolla one on update so you shouldn’t worry about it. Jolla is not separate vendor

Forgive me for beeing a little bit confused there. Is the BeaconDB possible to install and test? If so, how?

38

I guess :wink:

Probaby preceded by zypper remove geoclue-provider-mlsdb-config

39

No, you don’t have to, you are asked what to do with the config package, when you force install the original geoclue version. :stuck_out_tongue:

And what if I installed all available packages should I remove them too?
