Not on our side. But maybe something changed in the apps

On the Readme https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpak/main, it is mentioned that it is possible to install Mirage as a matrix client on SailfishOS via flatpak. However, I did nowhere find the flatpak package for arm. I performed a search on flathub as well as one on the project site where I could only find a flatpak version for the x86 architecture. Does anybody know where I can download the arm version?

You have to compile it yourself, as it is now. Which is a pain, as ARM32 QEMU on AMD64 has some issues and, in practice, you need to setup 32-bix x86 virtual machine and compile ARM32 flatpak there.

I wrote the script to package it, but it is not pushed to Flathub. Flathub build servers are running on ARM and would be able compile all without issues. However, for publishing at Flathub, some extras are probably needed. I don't plan to work on it, but you are welcome to contribute.

Hi guys, wondering if it's possible to force Angelfish to open links from other apps (Depecher, Mail etc.) in new tabs of an existing instance instead of starting a new one? Angelfish takes a few seconds to start even on a XA2.

We haven't implemented it yet for Angelfish. Feel free to file the issue at https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile...lfish/-/issues

Thanks! Then, I'll try to compile it on my Raspberry Pi 3. I've already compiled another app there for flatpak support which worked quite well. Concerning my contribution for publishing on Flathub. At the moment, I'm quite busy but when this is going to change, I might have a look.

I am trying to get angelfish the standard browser.

This is quite simple:

edit open-url.desktop and add an %U to the exec line:

This already works quite good but for every call the browser is started in a new instance. Is there a way/option to transfer the url to a running instance?

@cy8aer: two posts before yours. it would need dbus service, I presume. haven't implemented it yet, should do it at some moment. feel free to open the issue

PS: Looks like it is something we all miss

speaking of Matrix, @cy8aer, is Bluepill still being developed?

cy8aer | # 360 | 2020-07-03, 20:49 | Report

It is. Actual development state: The python nio based engine works quite well now, including e2e, key verification and many events like typing, read events, and indefinitely scoll up...

For the architecture: the python engine nearly runs stand alone. Because it uses asyncio there are interfaces for the (or any!) gui to call methods and an open signalling system which fires events (in our case this is pyotherside). I am able to run the python engine just in an interactive python shell and on my laptop it is running for weeks now. There is a bucket based cache backend for running it offline. And it looks quite stable (I did not have any "hangings" like in the PoC). It may "sleep" for about 30 seconds but then gets every event which was fired when offline.

Now I need to glue it to the gui. Actual login/logout works, I am just implementing the room list dashboard. The whole thing is really complicated, I need to reimplement a mocking client for the gui but this can be developed on a virtual machine.

What I can say by now: When it is ready it is ways faster than the draft/PoC version that can be found on gitlab.

But please give me some more time... there are many things to do, like e.g. deleting events on the event view when we did read them...

You want to see the running python engine?
