It looks like telepathy OTR/OMEMO support is a bit weird: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/telep...ble/issues/279

And those help to see if something stays consuming resources in the back. And that applet has also the sceenshot as well as screen recording which could be usefull if someone wants to show something.

On SailfishOS, Shmoose decided not to integrate with Telepathy either. But it will need to keep compatibility with the ancient SailfishOS software stack, which we'd rather avoid on Leste.

I think the best option right now would be to make use of Dino. It'll need some work, such as adding some tray icon support, etc., but it's closest to what we need on Leste. I'll take a look if it builds at all.


/edit: the mesa dev packages are broken on Leste:

Code:

$ sudo apt install debhelper cmake valac libgee-0.8-dev libsqlite3-dev libgtk-3-dev libgpgme-dev libsoup2.4-dev libgcrypt20-dev libqrencode-de

pulls libegl1-mesa-dev as a dependency:

Code:

/edit2: this is probably an issue with Devuan, on Debian libegl1-mesa-dev, doesn't ship libEGL.so.


Anyway, if this broken dependency is just ignored, dino builds fine and even runs.

Unfortunately, gtk3 apps don't really integrate with hildon-desktop and the status bar overlaps with the important UI parts.


I used the official Debian packages from here: http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...ino/Debian_10/

I have been 1 1/2 year quite active here and yet don't understand at all what you ask for. Yet it may be clear to everyone else who reads it. It is quite funny how in on something I can be (or seem I'm in).and yet I am actually all the time being so out of things what people are talking about.

"Add packages to a wiki" can mean many things for me and I don't know the right meaning in this case.

Fun to see someone else try something adventurous!

I think most projects use telepathy with ofono for telephony, so it's probably a sane choice for that. I can't really comment on gabble.

The EGL issue you're seeing might be related to how we have packaged PowerVR on the Nokia N900.

is it possible to use/install proprietary/closed-source apps from the original N900 OS on Leste? Possibly to ensure functionality that currently is not available on Leste?
Not "officially" I guess, but by manually adding the (which?) sources to apt?
And if yes, would these apps be installable & fully compatible with Maemo Leste?
And what about the huge catalogue of opensource apps that exists for the Maemo/MeeGo platform? Openrepos etc.?
