  3. Native ProtonMail bridge integrated into SFOS (10 min -- asked by EA3ICN) (sledges, 08:06:37)
    1. <EA3ICN> It would be great to be able to access ProtonMail directly from SFOS. As an OS that frequently mentions privacy, it makes more sense to have access to ProtonMail or Tutanota than to only have Gmail and other less private services. (sledges, 08:06:47)
    2. <Jolla> Support for secure, privacy-respecting messaging, email services like ProtonMail and Tutanota would indeed be welcome additions to Sailfish OS. (sledges, 08:07:07)
    3. <Jolla> We can easily add pre-installed configs for to ease setting up of IMAP/POP email services, but sounds like both Tutanota and ProtonMail require some custom software to run. (sledges, 08:07:27)
    4. <Jolla> In Tutanota case their OSS email client would need to be ported to Sailfish OS, and for ProtonMail their OSS ProtonMail Bridge (though limited to their paid customers). (sledges, 08:07:36)

  4. Uploading 4.2 aarch64 rpms blocks older releases? (10 min -- asked by poetaster) (sledges, 08:21:49)
    1. <poetaster> In discussion at (sledges, 08:21:55)
    2. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/apps-that-havent-been-ported-to-aarch64-store/7331/32?u=poetaster (sledges, 08:21:59)
    3. <poetaster> @slava mentioned that uploading 4.2 aarch64 causes older target's (3.4 arm 32 bit) to become unavailable as 4.2 becomes a requirement for all? (sledges, 08:22:06)
    4. <poetaster> He put it this way: "Jolla Store client stops showing it on 2.x and 3.x. devices if I drop in aarch64 rpm. Because the whole thing starts to "require" 4.x" (sledges, 08:22:16)
    5. <Jolla> Unfortunately Harbour lacks a way to set supported version per RPM. Overall we of course wish that people would run Sailfish OS 4.x with the latest supported functionality, bug and security (CVE) fixes. (sledges, 08:22:33)
    6. a workaround to the main topic would be to compile arm 32 bit with a 3.4 target and the aarch64 with a 4.2 target: (sledges, 08:33:36)
