This points to the solution :) For those unsure about terminology: we say QtSerialPort is a dependency for pilotnavigator; it could be a runtime dependency (eg if it provides an application or service only used during execution) or it may also be a build-time dependency (eg if some C++ code needs header files). In order for Sailfish to resolve this dependency automatically, QtSerialPort needs to be packaged into an rpm and SailfishOS needs to be told where to get it from. So step 1 is to make and rpm of QtSerialPort, step 2 is to put it somewhere (a repository) where SailfishOS can retrieve it - either when building the pilotnavigator app or when a user installs it. Both of these steps are still being polished - they are both possible right now but they are more complicated than we want them to be. I'll get some instructions pulled together - if you want to start by yourself then look at the spec file for making rpms and find out about the merproject OBS for building/publishing them as a repo (#sailfishos irc channel may be a good start) >> But stepping back a bit: are you actually asking the right question?

Ah, I miss my hang-glider :) _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
