Users with a Librem 5 devkit need to use scripts created by the Librem 5 team to flash the devkit with a new image. Udev rules are also needed.
It would be ideal for PureOS to have all of the tools needed to make flashing the devkit easier for users so please include this tool built by the Librem 5 team.
The most recent version of librem5-devkit-host can be found here:
https://ci.puri.sm/pool/librem5/libr/librem5-devkit-tools/librem5-devkit-host_0.0.3~98.gbpc8fa65_all.deb
The corresponding source package (librem5-devkit-tools) was uploaded but the librem5-devkit-host package did not make it into the archive. @mak did some investigations on why that happened but I don't think there was a clear outcome.
I can't check the current status since
http://software.pureos.net/search_pkg?term=librem5-devkit-host
gives me a 500 error.
I'm happy to reupload.
@guido The package doesn't exist in our repositories anywhere, and I could fine no trace of it ever being uploaded. What's its source package name? Can you maybe just upload the package again?
I've reuploaded the same package I uploaded on jan 3rd. source package is librem5-devkit-tools.
librem5-devkit-tools_0.0.2_source.changes: misses mandatory field Binary
How was this source package built exactly? The Binary field needs to be present in .changes file in order to be processed.
Very strange... Do you happen to have the package built with dpkg << 1.19.3?
You need at least that version to generate a valid package.
$ dpkg --version Debian 'dpkg' package management program version 1.19.6 (amd64). This is free software; see the GNU General Public License version 2 or later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty.
Ok, weird - maybe just build it again and see what happens (the dpkg version in the chroot env also needs to be high enough).
You can also maybe circumvent the issue by doing a binary upload, but it would actually be useful to know what went wrong here.
But source only packages don't have binary fields, do they?

@guido You're absolutely right, sorry - I was confusing the .dsc and .changes files somehow (the former already has all the necessary information).
Apparently the architecture in your previous changes file was not (only) set to source, and therefore a non-source upload was suumed, which does required the Binary field.
Anyway, to make some progress on this, can you please attempt another upload? I am curious at what dak has to say to that, and if it gets rejected again, I can debug the issue further looking directly into dak to determine why it things the package is unsuitable.
Well....
Version check failed: Your upload included the source package librem5-devkit-tools, version 0.0.2, however landing already has version 0.0.2. Uploads to landing must have a higher version than present in landing.
Looks like this version is already in (I see it in all suites):
librem5-devkit-tools | 0.0.2 | green | source librem5-devkit-tools | 0.0.2 | landing | source librem5-devkit-tools | 0.0.2 | purple | source
hmm...but it also claims it already knows about 0.0.3:
librem5-devkit-tools_0.0.3_source.changes is already known. === Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our concerns. ur concerns.
