move to salsa => mostly complete:
- issues (generic Mobian bug tracker) still on gitlab.com for now
- soon to be disabled, no more single issue tracker but per-project issues (or BTS for Debian packages)
- gitlab-rulez seems to fail on bookworm for some reason
replacement: https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/packaging-tools/-/blob/master/apply-repo-settings.py
- "salsa" script in Debian's "devscripts" packages to try out as a potential replacement
- scheduled CI jobs for kernel rebase restored with group access token and corresponding group bot user, but pipelines are buggy for now and fail, need to be fixed
- linux-arm64-mobian (generic kernel) re-imported, as well as others kernels
- issues (generic Mobian bug tracker) still on gitlab.com for now
u-boot-menu (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1012333)
Status: fragment support merged <= actually no, still discussing it on the aforementioned bug
look for a way to add "vccq mod" boot menu entry for OG PP and automatically detect it while installing the bootloader from the installer image => @Alex to look into it
MR for pinephone-tweaks adding the vccq support package: https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/pinephone-tweaks/-/merge_requests/6
MR for Calamares-settings: https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/calamares-settings-mobian/-/merge_requests/22
MR for mobian recipes: https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/mobian-recipes/-/merge_requests/69
- It was waiting for the new u-boot-menu with fdtoverlays and config fragment support. The new images would need the vccq support package and after testing it should be okay
- Gnome-Software: Open a bug report requesting mobile support for software-properties-gtk (Used in Debian, not Mobian)
- Latest version is from 2020.....and does not have mobile support.
See https://salsa.debian.org/pkgutopia-team/software-properties (upstream seems to be https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties)
- Would be nice for it to be ported for mobile support (GTK4?)
devrtz should poke Tobias about design input => ping devrtz on this topic
- our only patch on gnome-software removes the software properties because it's not adaptive
- puremaps packaging: Has anyone reached out to the KDE packaging team? ITP/RFP?
https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/puremaps-packaging (afaik no ITP/RTP yet - not checked if there are ITP/RFP for the dependencies)
- TODO(federico) open RFP if needed
Status: s2geometry lib packaging nearly done (d/copyright needs completion and check), no other packages done yet by spaetz. => check with the debian-gis team
- other maps/navigators?
Organic Maps has Gtk port: https://organicmaps.app/ Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/app.organicmaps.desktop
- Update tootle (latest tag is 2.0 alpha, we have 1.0 alpha)
- STATUS: dependency issues resolved and uploaded to unstable, 2.0 alpha version stalled (but would go to experimental anyway)
- tootle abandoned by upstream maintainer
Cawbird 2.0 will support Mastodon: https://github.com/CodedOre/NewCaw
- Upload powersupply to Debian?
powersupply-gtk to be moved to ?DebianOnMobile, updated to latest upstream and uploaded
- Universal images and tweakster?
- needs new rust deps in Debian, will update tweakster package once done
- start with a generic sdm845 and/or qcom image + separate "FOSS phones" image?
State of systemd user timers for gnome-clocks (https://pad.uni-hamburg.de/s/VlSduMhxt#)
maybe due to our custom PAM config? https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/mobian-tweaks/-/blob/mobian/phosh/pam/phosh
https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=birdie seems to do that?
- Spaetz: Interesting, should ask them if it works. Afaik, systemd --user needs to be launched differently for this to work.
- Installer issues:
calamares stable ABI <= No progress
- resize problems (not installer-specific)
- All our images are now using systemd-repart/growfs
- Add support for pinephone vccq in the installer
- (see u-boot-menu paragraph above for progress)
- monitoring battery discharge; monitor CPU usage; monitor "real uptime"
- Could be a part of Powersupply (but big change) or GNOME Usage (with separate daemon)
- process management: detecting focused application
https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=development:processmanagement
- xdg-desktop shell
- look at cpulimit and cputool
maybe have a look at https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/blob/main/protocol/phosh-private.xml
- cgroup with cgcreate and cgset (cgclassify can switch a process to a different cgroup) cpu.cfs_period_us and cpu.cfs_quota_us are the properties used to limit cpu time of processes
- Lots of groundwork needed here (big can of worms), probably should be discussed with freedesktop folks?
- Lots of background timers in Debian which should probably moved to other packages
- lower sleep timeout to 1m
- have it in our gsettings override at least, then figure out how to "coerce" upstream into adding such options (maybe based on device chassis type?)
consider installing phosh-mobile-settings by default https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues/-/issues/455
- Calender on lockscreen is awesome and requires phosh-plugins and phosh-mobile-settings (to turn it on)
- Should we bundle both by default (and ideally already enable those plugins by default?). phosh-mobile-settings also provides a nice scale-to-screen GUI, making our CLI hacks obsolete.
- Done, installed by default on new images (Recommends to be added to meta-phosh, as it's nothing Mobian specific)
- Package maintenance: we should clarify what should be maintained by the Mobian-team, and what should go to other packaging teams or under the generic "debian" group
- Some will be in for a while (like gnome-contacts), others no
- We should aim to get everything in Debian itself
- Only maintain ones that we are upstream for, or have to carry patches for.
we should maybe have a clear policy regarding package maintenance in the Mobian-team group (same goes for ?DebianOnMobile-team)
- a-wai to propose a draft and post on dev channel for reviews/comments/...
- [federico] going to test 4G speed and hotspot
- anything from Pine64?
- No news for a while
