I really, really, really wish at least one of these thee things happened:

1. Patchmanager allowed me to reinstall the same version of a patch without having to uninstall it first;
2. People stopped updating the same patch with a new OS version dependency without updating the patch version number;
3. People switched from making a patch dependent on the OS version to making it depend on the version of the actual component being patched.

well, i can disable editing files for existing versions in catalog

handling separate component versions in patch is somewhat complicated

Hi there, yesterday I finally updated my Xperia X from 2.x to the latest Sailfish Version. Since I had unapplied all patches for that I figured I could update to PM3 as well, despite the still-present "beta".

Is it possible without uninstalling? I got an error from storeman: "File './armv7hl/bluetooth-rfkill-event-hciattach-1.0.6-10.1.1.jolla.armv7hl.rpm' not found...

Why would I need such a file for a Patch Manager? And why is it not in store-repository?

I think you might need to:

A feature request: a menu option in PM to do just that.

Amboss | # 2666 | 2019-04-09, 05:21 | Report

Thx, that did the trick. Didn't think of it and sorry to have asked the same question again.

Still I think this is strange behaviour as I just updated in the morning. One would think, the OS would know the most recent repository.

Nope, this feature request goes to Jolla!

Yeah it would be nice/better if Jolla implemented it, but it would probably be easier getting the Storeman dev to add it.

pm nothing to do with your repo cache. possible you mean storeman, not pm?

pichlo | # 2670 | 2019-04-09, 19:20 | Report

Storeman would be a better place, agreed.

I was wondering why Amboss had a problem with PM that was solved by pkcon refresh but it turns out I just did not read his post properly. Sorry.
