Hi Chris, all, this "you can simply update the code" turns out to be not so simple. Down the rabbit hole I hit on openobex. I am basically doing some analyses and PoC, so here are my findings 1. buteo-syncml and buteo-sync-plugins use openobex library 2. openobex library provided is openobex-0.1.4-1.2.1.jolla.armv7hl 3. on mer openobex is 1.7 4. in sailfish git reference is set to mer 5. 1.7 uses cmake and thus building does not work 6. in 1.7 significant change was done, so that all relaying code needs to be migrated/upgraded. On my desktop PC I still use 1.5.2 which seems to be stable and working with older applications 7. in sailfish git in rpm/openobex.yaml "Requires" is set to bluez-libs-devel, which breaks other dependencies. Why is it set to require bluez-libs-devel? IMO it should be removed put it all together this obex stuff that I desperately need for advancing on syncml is totally creepy. The way I go now is use openobex 1.5.2 which builds properly with sailfish. Please, let me know what you think and how this can be corrected for the future. To me it looks like the whole stack is left unmaintained and I am not sure how the following components are going to be brought to a working state without a proper support. I mean even if community can do the work, how big are the chances that all the changes in following packages get merged into mainstream??? - buteo-syncfw - buteo-syncml - buteo-sync-plugins - openobex Thank you in advance and kind regards PS: It is a pleasure to use the SDK - works smoothly :) _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
