It may take a little time after a new SailfishOS release is published before the corresponding "DoD" repository is being made available, during which installing Storeman by the Storeman Installer or updating Storeman by itself on a device with the new SailfishOS release already installed does not work, because Storeman cannot be compiled for this new SailfishOS release at the Sailfish-OBS, yet; consequently this is always the case for "closed beta (cBeta)" releases of SailfishOS. In such a situation one has to manually download Storeman built for the last prior SailfishOS "general availability (GA)" release (e.g. from [its releases section at GitHub](https://github.com/storeman-developers/harbour-storeman/releases) or [the SailfishOS-OBS](https://build.merproject.org/project/show/home:olf:harbour-storeman)), then install or update Storeman via `pkcon install-local `, and hope that there is no change in the new SailfishOS release which breaks Storeman; if there is, please report that soon at [Storeman's issue tracker](https://github.com/storeman-developers/harbour-storeman/issues). +* Before software can be build for a new SailfishOS release at the SailfishOS-OBS, Jolla must create a [corresponding "download on demand (DoD)" OBS-repository](https://build.sailfishos.org/project/subprojects/sailfishos).

The minimal run time for Storeman Installer 2 is about 7 seconds, the typical run time is rather 10 seconds (measured from the moment Storeman Installer's installation is triggered, until Storeman is installed and its icon is displayed at the "launcher"). This is already a lot, but rarely the Packagekit daemon stalled (`packagekitd`, for which `pkcon` is just a command line front-end, communicating with the daemon via D-Bus) during heavy testing, which can be observed with the crude `pkmon` utility (`Ctrl-C` gets you out. :smiley:), so the Storeman Installer now tries to detect these "hangs" and to counter them: If that happens, its run time can be up to slightly more than 1 minute. In the worst case a stalled PackageKit daemon (and with it its `pkcon` client process(es)) stalls Storeman Installer, until the PackageKit daemon reaches its idle time out of 300 seconds (5 minutes; this could theoretically happen three times, resulting in a likely unsuccessful run time of more than 15 minutes).
Also note that SailfishOS sometimes fails to show an icon of a freshly installed app on the launcher ("homescreen") until SailfishOS is rebooted (rsp. more precisely: Lipstick is restarted). diff --git a/rpm/harbour-storeman-installer.spec b/rpm/harbour-storeman-installer.spec index f572dff..20b9281 100644 --- a/rpm/harbour-storeman-installer.spec +++ b/rpm/harbour-storeman-installer.spec @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ Name: harbour-storeman-installer # The Git tag format must adhere to / since 2023-05-18. # The tag must adhere to semantic versioning, for details see # https://semver.org/ -Version: 2.2.7 +Version: 2.2.8 # The tag comprises one of {alpha,beta,rc,release} postfixed with a # natural number greater or equal to 1 (e.g. "beta3") and may additionally be # postfixed with a plus character ("+"), the name of the packager and a release @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ Version: 2.2.7 # build at GitHub and OBS, when configured accordingly; mind the sorting # (`adud` < `alpha`).
