Hi all
In preparation for the upcoming Sailfish OS 2.0 release we have been
looking into providing a prerelease version of the SDK. Unfortunately we
can not provide an officially supported version just yet, but in the
spirit of hacking we can provide you a way to upgrade your current SDK
into the next version.
Note that there are several limitations in this approach and it is only
recommended for those people who want to test that their apps compile
with the next version of the SDK. Specifically the limitations include
(but are not limited to):
- there is no guarantee of any kind, if these instructions break your
install, you get to keep both pieces :)
- the emulator can not be updated, so testing your apps might not work,
though they can be deployed to devices that have 1.1.9 prerelease installed
- apps built against the 1.1.9 SDK might not be accepted to harbor, even
if they work on your device
- whenever the real 1.1.9 SDK comes out, it will overwrite any changes made
If you are fine with these limitations and want to test your app against
the next Sailfish OS version, read on.
First of all you should create a snapshot of your MerSDK build machine
using the control tool that comes with VirtualBox. If you wish to return
to the regular SDK (or your build machine gets broken for any reason)
just restore the snapshot.
Start the MerSDK and log in to it with SSH using the following command:
ssh -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk
mersdk@localhost
Once you are logged in, issue the following commands:
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486 -m sdk-install -R ssu release 1.1.9.28
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486 -m sdk-install -R zypper ref -f
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486 -m sdk-install -R zypper dup
sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R ssu release 1.1.9.28
sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R zypper ref -f
sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R zypper dup
sudo ssu release 1.1.9.28
sudo zypper ref -f
sudo zypper dup
Once this is done, reboot the MerSDK vbox machine.
