As a general rule, is opensuse the "best" place to get upstream source from? Is there any reason to choose opensuse vs any other distro that uses rpm?

When I compiled whois I got the source from opensuse; would it have been better to get the spec file from there & adapt it to suit Sailfish, but get the source directly from github?

Not a thing I did before, but if to scratch the surface:

A distro version is a few versions behind: 5.2.7 in Debian, 5.2.10 official, 5.2.0 in OpenSUSE. I would say it does not matter where to take it from, as long as there is not too many dependencies (if there is, have to check whether other packages on the target OS need updating and which way would be less painful).

Well, OpenSuse uses OBS, so you can use cross-instance-copy to easily pull packages directly from the OpenSuse OBS to the Mer OBS and build them with the Sailfish OS target.

On the other hand the OpenSuse packaging generally doesn't seem to be that good, so I have not been using this recently, instead pulling packages from Fedora with fedpkg and importing them manually to Mer OBS.

Compiling/packaging upstream source directly is also an option, but I would recommend, if possible, to use released/tagged versions, not just latest commit from the master/development branch. You should also note the version/tag/hash so that you know what happend since the time you did the build, if there are some new features, fixes or security fixes, etc.

Re: Extra softwares in Sailfish using CLI, repositories, etc

I sucesfully installed dosfstools and htop but when I try:

pkcon install tk

after some messages I obtain:
Fatal error: nothing provides libX11.so.6 needed by tk-8.5.12-2.2.1.armv7h1

I want to install it to try to make work the GUI of the python scripts I talk about here: https://together.jolla.com/question/...nd-the-camera/

Any help? :confused:

sfos using wayland, not x11

Re: Extra softwares in Sailfish using CLI, repositories, etc

I know but that package is from the mer-tools repository indicated in this thread, and Mer uses Wayland too, so it's strange.
