gPodder 4 for Sailfish OS

This repository contains the platform-specific customizations and packaging for running gPodder 4 on Sailfish OS. Python 3.3.3 and PyOtherSide is already included in the device repositories starting with Sailfish OS 1.0.3.8.

Getting Started with Development

Development on Device/ in Emulator

There is the possibility to directly clone the repository to the device/ emulator and work there:

1. Connect via SSH to your SailfishOS device e.g. connect to emulator: ssh -p 2223 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/SailfishOS_Emulator/nemo nemo@localhost
2. Install the needed packages: pkcon install git pyotherside-qml-plugin-python3-qt5
3. Clone this repo: git clone --recursive https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder-sailfish.git
4. Set up development symlinks:

   cd gpodder-sailfish
   bash dev_symlinks.sh
   

5. Launch main qml file: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmlscene qml/harbour-org.gpodder.sailfish.qml

Building RPM Package

The RPM package can be build in the SailfishOS Build Engine VM

1. Start the Sailfish OS Build Engine VM
2. Connect to it via SSH: ssh -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk mersdk@localhost
3. Move to your source code directory. You can usually access your home directory via the ~/share/ directory from inside the build engine
4. In case you created development symlinks (see above): remove them using bash dev_symlinks --unlink
5. Build the package using mb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl build (change target architecture to your needs)
6. The built package can be found in the RPMS directory.
