rainemakI'll give that 5mins for for nephros first. If there are other PRs, let's cover those first.08:06
rainemakpvuorela and dcaliste maybe something?08:06
rainemaknb, we do have also https://github.com/sailfishos/issue-tracker now.08:08
pvuoreladamien doesn't seem to be around, but we're having some good stuff at messagingframework front.08:08
rainemaknoticed that08:09
rainemak#info <nephros> I was happy to see the announcement of an improvement of the08:10
rainemak#info <nephros> IMHO important XMLHttpRequest functionality in QtDeclarative.08:10
rainemak#info <nephros> @throwaway69 has found an old PR towards QtDeclarative which08:10
rainemak#info <nephros> would enable binary payloads, which would enable POSTing things08:10
rainemak#info <nephros> form QML that are not text. This is currently impossible to do08:10
rainemak#info <nephros> with many HTTP API Endpoints (for example, this Forum).08:10
rainemak#info <nephros> PR URL: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/14373208:10
rainemak#info <nephros> and older variant against Qt5.6: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/12562508:10
rainemak#info <nephros> Would there be any objections to adopting this change in the08:10
rainemak#info <nephros> SailfishOS version of QtDeclarative?08:10
* nephros is back just in time ;)08:11
rainemakAny opinions?08:11
nephrosThere was the question re: licensing. Can "old", pre-license changes get merged into the Jolla tree at all?08:12
pvuorelai'm not too eager to cherrypick user facing qt changes which are skipped upstream. if there are problems with qtdeclarative requests it shouldn't be too hard to just do it in c++.08:12
rainemaknephros, conceptually they can08:13
pvuorelaalso that's doing some v4 stuff which i wouldn't like to maintain when going forward08:13
rainemakif you have a Silica based app running for Sailfish OS and you're using QML => there ain't really others to use it i.e. having it in upstream or not doesn't play too big of a role08:15
piggz[m]#info piggz, community08:17
piggz[m]Gm08:17
rainemakfurther, based on quick look that fix doesn't really look too bad to maintain08:17
rainemakbut surely it's a bit of maintenance effort08:18
nephrosIt looks like a small change yes. You're right can be worked around in c++ or Python, but it's a bit weird to have to do that in a qml-only app just for uploading.08:19
pvuorelabut is there really much benefit if the whole problem can be easily side-stepped in a way that should work on any qt08:19
nephrosLike the Forum-Viewer app does, go via imgur for images.08:20
ExTechOpMaybe this meeting isn't the place for a philosophical discussion of how far we want to diverge from the upstream. Could this change itself be pushed to upstream?08:20
pvuorelav4 has a risk of regressions too elsewhere and there hasn't been much code review approvals on the PRs.08:21
nephrosUpstream AFAIK has adopted the feature, but a different implementation, in a higher versin.08:22
rainemaknephros, is that application level behavior more or less the same?08:22
ExTechOpWould it make sense to backport the upstream implementation?08:23
rainemaknot directly due to license08:23
nephrosNot sure I understand. Do you mean does the accepted change do the same as this one?08:23
rainemaknephros, yeap... app developer point of view transparent and similar way of using it08:24
rainemakas it's only in the xmlhttprequest payload it really cannot be too much different either08:24
nephrosI guess it does. You give a TypedArray as payload to the xmlhttprequest.08:25
rainemakso shouldn't be a big deal to have it => can be adapted to Sailfish OS as well08:26
rainemaklet's move on08:28
rainemak#topic General discussion (15 mins)08:28
*** sailbot changes topic to "General discussion (15 mins) (Meeting topic: Sailfish OS, open source, collaboration -- 27th February 2025)"08:28
rainemakAny feedback on 5.0.0.61?08:28
nephrosWEll, Congratulations to the team for the 5.0 release!08:28
piggz[m]Yes, thanks for all the work i now need to do to make 5 images for all my ports :D08:29
nephrosBTW I think this is the accepted upstream version: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/19843308:29
ExTechOprainemak No comment, seems to work as well as the earlier release, so no news is good news08:29
daiboiadelet me leave a "kiitos" here, to everyone from jolla. SFOS with mind2 feels great on big screen. <308:29
rainemakExTechOp, we're trying to figure out a way to deliver AppSupport already for Xperia 10 IV and 10 V08:30
rainemakthis week and next week some folks are on vacation but after that I think we could sort it out08:31
ExTechOpLooking forward to seeing some progress on that front, I've had the phone sitting on a shelf already for quite some time :-/08:32
rainemakExTechOp, do you have Sailfish OS in it already?08:32
ExTechOpYes, on Xperia 10 V08:32
rainemakand you're "blocker" has been missing AppSupport?08:32
rainemakyour08:32
ExTechOpBasically yes, there are certain Android apps that I need on my daily phone, like Visma Tiima, Epassi, Danske Mobiilipankki, Mobilepay08:34
rainemakor maybe we should say that you're missing some crucial apps that are only available as apks08:34
rainemakExTechOp, understood08:34
ExTechOpHowever, getting some very basic things like the charging indicator and fingerprint detection working would also be needed on a daily phone.08:35
rainemakExTechOp, agree but with Android apps you could already daily drive it08:37
rainemakcharging indicator is harmful08:37
rainemakthere was that one openrepos app08:38
ExTechOpIndeed I could, though the thing is: I've kinda gotten used to missing echo cancellation on the Xperia 10III (just use headset)08:39
ExTechOpbut missing some very basic functionality like this does not really inspire confidence in the long-term future of SFOS08:39
