Hi,
as you may have heared, Fedora is now running on Pinephone and other
devices, that need bleeding edge versions to function.
Status of Fedora Pine as of 15:15 CET
Cams now working, but app needs rework
Mobile INET working
WIFI working
Touch working
SMS working
GPS working
Calls partly, "calls app" does not connect to pulseaudio.
Headphones ( sort of )
Mali400 GPU support working ( MPV rulez )
and with Gnome(38) instead of Phosh.. no window problems! Big Thanks to
nikhiljha <https://github.com/nikhiljha>and his copr repo.
O== my request
In the last 3 days alone several updates ( i.e. bind-libs, gnome-shell
40~alpha ) caused a lot of bugs and needed to be downgraded directly
from koji,
by first finding & downloading them with wget ( because of the slow wifi
and dependency checks, direct http links work ofcourse ), and later
downgraded with
dnf, which is so to speak, a pain in the ass. Of course, the best way to
handle it would be, if the os compenents came from stable repos, so that
these problems do not happen. But as i said, bleeding edge is needed atm.
Is it possible to keep at least the last version of a package around in
rawhide repo, to make dnf downgrade work? That would ease a lot of this
pain.
I know that there is a native koji tool to handle rawhide, but i must
say, that won't work in most cases. Let me explain:
Pine has announced to open stores in the US and Canada, because of the
huge amount of requests for a pinephone. As it looks, this phone, as
cheap as it compontants are, fills a gap of some kind. Therefor we will
have much more user using it, and (i hope i can help with it) will use
Fedora with Gnome-Shell.
Phosh is more like Android, it has it charm, but tbh I, and people I
showned it to, love they way gnome-shell handles stuff.
We "may" get them to downgrade stuff with dnf, but that needs to be as
simple as it could.
best regards,
Marius Schwarz
