Hi,
thanks for the reply.
It's good to know that this is the right channel and that you are
listening. :)
Unfortunately, I discovered two more libs some other apps I may try to
port would rely on:
- libsndfile
libsndfile, is now allowed in Harbour. Rpmvalidator allowing it is part
of SDK 1502:

- qt5-qtconnectivity-qtbluetooth
Those are the package names and not the actual library names but I hope
that's sufficient.
Both seem also to be available already for SailfishOS.
libsndfile is even already installed on my Jolla by default.
I don't want to sound demanding but I am really motivated to push apps
to Harbour and those are the libs I would need to link against.
Best regards,
Ruediger
PS: In some cases statically linking or shipping a lib with an app might
solve the issue.
However, it feels kind of wrong to do this when a lib is available anyhow.
And there may be other cases in which you end up in a long dependency
chain such that these workarounds are not practical.
Furthermore, to me as a developer, adding such workarounds is an
additional overhead and takes time I'd prefer to invest somewhere else,
like actually improving an app or writing/porting a new one.
Please do not mistake me, I don't want to sound rude but just want to
explain my situation.
PPS: As people start to develop more apps now (hopefully ;)), I assume
that even more people will come up with requests for libs to link against.
Would it make sense to have a more centralized place to discuss this or
to collect requests?
I mean to have a place for devs as well as for you to quickly see which
libs had already been requested and to possible vote for libs.
E.g., would it make sense to use together.jolla.com for this and maybe
add a tag like #harbour-lib-request or something?

If not, please redirect me in the appropriate direction.
for once a nice request and not just ranting :-) this is the right
channel. We heard you and will look into it, but I can't promise any
time frame when will finally decide whenever we will allow it or not.
