henkpiggz[m]: hey, when would be a good time to pick your brain about the gs290? (:11:42
piggz[m]henk: ask anytime, and ill respond when i can :)11:43
henkpiggz[m]: oh ok. first thing probably should be: what versions can I upgrade to? just latest sailfish i.e something like 5.1.0.11 (taken from https://forum.sailfishos.org/tags/c/announcements/17/release-notes) or should I stick to the versions listed on https://build.sailfishos.org/project/subprojects/nemo:testing:hw:volla:yggdrasil?11:46
piggz[m]henk: Only use the versions for which repositories exist in the link above11:57
henkpiggz[m]: https://bpa.st/K4FQ shows `zypper pa --unneeded` and `zypper packages --orphaned`. these look … untidy. and some things confuse me, especially the 'orphaned' packages. can I just delete all of them? but isn’t ofono-binder-plugin-ext-mtk the one I need for the chip in my phone and the one we have been talking about needing to implement binder calls for gs290 to11:59
henksupport volte? why is that one orphaned? seems weird …11:59
henkpiggz[m]: ack, thnks11:59
henkpiggz[m]: could you add redirects from the old blog to your new paths? I think your blog post about installing the gs290 was linked from some places and it would be great if those links weren’t all dead now, I guess.12:02
piggz[m]henk: does volte work for you? i guess not with that driver, but i started looking at how to add volte support, but no code written yet12:03
piggz[m]I cant redirect specific entries, but maybe i can redirect everything to the new homepage12:05
henkpiggz[m]: no, it doesn’t. and I’d love to help implementing it, if I can help in any way. I don’t know anything worth mentioning about volte, binder, mtk, ofono, or basically anything related, though /-: (and I got the impression that my questions about that to mal and you were being ignored 3 days ago, which would have been one of my next questions, as well)12:05
piggz[m]no, i noted them, and asked mal for a bit of info on how to go about things .. 3 days ago i was also travelling for the entire day12:06
piggz[m]i got hold of the ims file and decompiled it to take a look12:06
henkoh, cool!12:07
henkregarding working volte: this very much relies on the ofono-binder-plugin-ext-mtk, right? I’m very irritated as to why this is listed as '--orphaned' on my system. am I missing some repo, maybe?12:08
henkpiggz[m]: and another "big" topic is that I would like to try to get the camera working properly, not just for photos, but for videos. since you are the maintainer of the gs290 port _and_ "advanced camera", it seems like you could be of great help with that (: (but this is so much lower priority for me than VoLTE, that I’m hesitant to even mention it)12:12
piggz[m]henk: the blog redirect is done12:25
henkpiggz[m]: nice (:12:28
henkpiggz[m]: the thing is: I have mentioned those things before and gotten no reply. now again: no reply and also no comment whether you will get back to me. so I don’t really know what to do: just ask again in case you somehow missed it, wait for a response, for how long before pinging again, and so on. I don’t want to be annoying but I also don’t want to waste time waiting17:20
henkwhen just repeating myself would actually have helped and not annoyed anyone. any advice what I should do? what is your communication style in this case?17:20
piggz[m]ok, thats my fault, just busy with real life ... camera ill think about, but will just be on the list, i have limited capcacity17:22
henkpiggz[m]: understandable. real life is nice to have! and that’s exactly why I’m asking: to understand your context and know how to handle this (: camera: yes, and I don’t expect you to fully dive into this. maybe you can give me some pointers what to look into and I can go and do some research and try to find helpful (debug) output which I can then bounce off you again?17:24
