Ok, so you are also saying that the "tap-on-RPM-to-install" mechanism in Sailfish OS could do it too but it's Jolla's choice not to? Is that for security reasons? Since the user has accepted the risks by ticking "untrusted sources", could the behaviour be changed? ________________________________ De : Devel <devel-boun...@lists.sailfishos.org> de la part de Slava Monich <slava.mon...@jolla.com> Envoyé : vendredi 20 octobre 2017 09:46 À : devel@lists.sailfishos.org Objet : Re: [SailfishDevel] Missing /usr/bin/sailfish-qml on the phone
Basically, I was trying to say that if Jolla Store client can do it and command line pkcon can do it (i.e. automatically install dependencies) then Warehouse can do it too. If Warehouse doesn't do it, it's the choice made by the creator of the app. I pulled the sources and haven't found anything there about the dependencies. One thing that I learned today: The PackageKit currently used by Sailfish OS (version 0.8.something + a few patches) has D-Bus method called GetDepends. However the smart upstream guys have renamed it into DependsOn: https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/commit/e590ed91 (backward compatibility? what's that? never heard of it!) meaning that Warehouse should try both methods to make sure that it works with future versions of PackageKit. Right now it doesn't seem to do anything.
