0.0.11-1pureos1 can be removed from buzantium and we can switch to the Debian version. There's no downstream changes in there, it was just a rebuilt since the package wasn't in Debian at that time.

a an issue that remains is that we don't have debug packages for regular pureos-amber. This can often be helped by using the ones from Debian but not always when e.g. pureos lacks a bit behind. This makes it unsafe to enable by default.

dbgsym packages for amber-phone-staging do work now via

@mak main issue here is that i can't tell if the correct match string (so i did not use any wildcards) or if there are other devices with the same match that might break.

That is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765936 and documented here documented in /usr/share/doc/libvirt-daemon/README.Debian.gz . It would be best to just set the correct capability in pureos (setcap cap_net_admin+ep /usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper)

@jeremiah.foster great! i'd skip amber-phone since it's just an overlay and we want to merge for byzantium anyways.

Yeah, i've seen that but that assume the user understands what is going on (and involves user intervention for s.th. that could be automatic).

With unbreak i mean it prints the symbols shown on the buttom instead of '#' which left the user pretty stranded when doing math stuff (or wanting to use the pipe symbol in the shell)

just to avoid duplication, i've uploaded these to green and amber a while ago: https://software.pureos.net/search_pkg?term=mfgtools - green is no more though. ci builds are here: https://arm01.puri.sm/job/debs/job/deb-mfgtools-buster-amd64/

on https://repo.pureos.net/pureos-debug/dists/ there's dbgsym packages for amber, amber-phone-staging and amber-proposed-upates so if the versions in amber-phone / amber-updates are the same we can work around things by using these.

that wold be so super cool since it would prevent dragging around deboostrap scripts by hand.

@jeremiah.foster people are stepping on this while trying to bootstrap amber on Debian - would you take a stab of trying to get this into mainline deboostrap so boostrapping pureos becomes simpler everywhere in the future? I'm happy to help here.

I don't know how many people use this feature on Debian but I doubt that many people concerned about privacy, as Librem users are, will want to switch this feature on.

related https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/Apps_Issues/issues/162 - i think it would be a good feature to have if people opt in - it's by no means about convenience but to give us enough data to fix issues. It's also data that might be hard for the user to provide.

I've created a dpkg reppo at

@mak gcr secmem is similar to what gpg's gtksecentry does using

just to add the detail how things will break for users

• use https://github.com/debuerreotype/debuerreotype/pull/63
• then s.th. like (just a quick hack):

Just as a data point: I am a daily startpage user but it has availability and performance problems. I switch to ddg every now and then when startpage does not respond but that is not something we want to put on our users (that's why I opted to merge the ddg patch for the moment).

The same thing came up realted to GNOME Web: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-base/merge_requests/36 - phone and laptops should ship the same list (only exception I could see is a engine with super nice search results that doesn't work on mobile)

hmm...but it also claims it already knows about 0.0.3:

reuploaded.

But source only packages don't have binary fields, do they?

A plain pbuilder (dpkg-buildpackage) build and then using the _source.changes

I've added support to debuerreotype for that https://github.com/debuerreotype/debuerreotype/pull/63 and put current images here: https://hub.docker.com/r/godiug/pureos/tags

webrtc progress: https://blogs.gnome.org/tsaunier/2018/07/31/webkitgtk-and-wpe-gains-webrtc-support-back/

I've reuploaded the same package I uploaded on jan 3rd. source package is librem5-devkit-tools.

Other possibly interesting stuff:

uploaded mfgtools_1.2.91+0git6b465-0pureos+librem5.1_amd64.changes

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.

From the phone perspective we we'd like to pull a rather fixed set of packages from e.g. Debian experimental during the freeze automatically (assuming Debian's GNOME team ends up putting the packages there) but after all it's more of an example of a general pattern: grab packages a, b, c from repository x (ideally including required dependencies not present in the target distribution).

@jeremiah.foster Packaging is here: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/mfgtools/tree/pureos/purple

This is also related to https://tracker.pureos.net/T594

I've put initial packaging here https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/mfgtools/tree/pureos/purple .
RFP for Debian is . I'm happy to maintain this in Debian if someone from the PureOS team joins me.

Just for reference: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-devkit-tools - it will gain a librem5-devkit-host part with the next MR.

@sean.obrien (this might become a bit off topic): the flatpak side needs more work for the 3rd party apps.

We have purple and laboratory in PureOS and the CI repos for phone development.

Please see the GNOME case above, this is really not tied to our CI.

You have me confused now. I thought the whole transitioning between landing -> and green is there to detect these inconsistencies?
Also I'd be syncing for me does not imply syncing binaries. Rebuilding the ones not synced from testing would be a great first step in rebuilding everything.

Uploading to once place is more comfortable than to two ;)

I'm wondering if this is on anyone's horizon yet? If not I would put it on my TODO list since it would be good to have this running so we can test phone stuff on PureOS in gitlab's CI as well (instead of "only" Debian testing).

If we fix the underlying issue all users logged into a GNOME session will be in the KVM group and no additional work is necessay, it works out of the box (as users would expect). Just pull this systemd patch into PureOS:

Ubuntu's scripts (/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts) are also in Debian. Would be great if the same were to be true for pureos since that would tickle to all downstreams and enable many more people to contribute without hazards.

There's also tools like vmdeboostrap that invoke deboostrap / pbuilder directly. It would be much simpler if they could work out of the box.

can we get rid of this hack? There will be more people contributing to pureos in the future (phone team).

@mak then what about

(this relates to the original topic of recompiling packages not about having to rebuild because we carry patches)
