Hello @ringius (and @jdrescher, @otsaloma, @MartinK),
Background:
I was surprised to find
mapboxgl-qml
installed on my Jolla 1 phone. While
OSMscout server
,
PoorMaps
,
ModRana
and
Laufhelden
are installed,
PoorMaps GL
and associated libraries were not installed (at least not manually and deliberately).
Looking for the reason, I found that
Laufhelden's RPM Spec-file
pulls in
mapboxgl-qml
unconditionally.
As supposedly
mapboxgl-qml
was already installed for some time and I did not experience any effects, I wonder:
May
mapboxgl-qml
cause any negative effects on Jolla 1 phones, besides the disk space used and having another RPM installed (plus eventual dependencies)?
Can
mapboxgl-qml
be of any use on Jolla 1 phones (i.e. albeit slow, is this technically feasible at all)?
If not, why does it install at all (in an unsupported environment)?
These questions are aiming in two directions:
How should authors of software handle a potential dependency on
mapboxgl-qml
, which varies with the environment (i.e. device / installed libraries)?
Is there any chance of enabling
mapboxgl-qml
to run on Jolla 1 phones (no matter how slow)?
Many thanks to you all for your marvelous work!
