Howto install source packages in SailfishOS?

Hi.

I'm trying to install the sources of a binary package to my JollaC to no avail....
So far I have tried with:

Code:

pkcon install 'package'

pkcon install-local 'package-file.rpm'

zypper install 'package-file.rpm'

Anybody knows what I am missing?
Sorry if it has been answered before, I'm on a tight schedule.. :)

Regards.

Hi. :D

I'm trying to install "wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.source". I already have "wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.armv7hl" installed, but then:

Code:

[[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su pkcon install wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.source

Password: 

Command failed: This tool could not find any available package: could not find wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.source

I have also tried:

Code:

nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su pkcon install-local /home/nemo/Downloads/wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.src.rpm

or:

PackageKit is blocking zypper. This happens if you have an updater applet or other software management application using PackageKit running.

Tell PackageKit to quit? [yes/no] (no): yes

Loading repository data...

Reading installed packages...

'_tmpRPMcache_:wpa_supplicant=0:2.5+git1-1.14.7' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.

'wpa_supplicant = 0:2.5+git1-1.14.7' is already installed.

Resolving package dependencies...



Nothing to do.

And this is all I've tried.

Re: Howto install source packages in SailfishOS?

ahm you can't do that with pkcon. you need to use zypper

Code:

zypper si wpa_supplicant

it will download source to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
