modRana is finally in Harbour!
So after being available for Sailfish OS for ~1.5 years only from OpenRepos modRana is now also available from the default Sailfish OS store AKA Harbour!

FAQ

Q: Are the OpenRepos and Harbour packages the same ?
A: In most aspects yes. The Harbour version of modRana can't use some APIs not yet allowed in Harbour, so some features don't work:

• keep screen on
• prevent suspend when recording a track
• volume key zooming

These features work just fine with the OpenRepos version and will also work with in Harbour modRana once the needed APIs are allowed. So take this into account when deciding which modRana package to install.

Q: I have installed modRana from OpenRepos and I can't install modRana from the Jolla store client. What should I do ?
A: Just uninstall the modRana package (using the store client or Warehouse) and install the package from Harbour - your local settings & map data won't be affected.

(As for why this is needed - the OpenRepos package has vendor set to "meego" (the default in the Mer OBS), but the Harbour package does not have a vendor set (to be Harbour compliant). This causes issues as even though the packaging tools see the possible package updates, they won't actually update them due to different vendors. This confusion should be hopefully fixed for good soon once I push a modRana package without vendor also to OpenRepos - even though OpenRepos package users will probably have to manually install it to get normal updates working again.)

Q: What will now happen to the OpenRepos package when modRana is also available from the Jolla Store/Harbour ?
A: I will keep updating the OpenRepos modRana package just like before. Then afterwards if no major issues have been found the package will also be submitted to Harbour. So basically an idea similar to how the opt-in updates work for Sailfish OS:

• if you want the newest modRana with largest amount of features - install modRana from OpenRepos
• if you want something more stable and tested + update notifications - install modRana from the Jolla Store/Harbour
