@cas The lack of gesture recognition in GTK you describe looks OP6 (or maybe high scale factors) specific (which then also affects e.g. app closing in phosh). Try a Linux first phone or investigate 😄

And please don't claim that people don't want to fix something while at the same time you lament you don't have enough time either to fix things like camera. Just don't expect people to have your priorities.

(oh, and I think we know of some places that introduce stepping)

@agx i really appreciate all your comments. I absolutely had not considered the potential differences between the L5 and op6 (beyond the scale factor anyway), and of course it makes sense that different people have different priorities. I should have done a better job of expressing that when i wrote this.

The point i want to lament was just the general lack of developers we have working on this stuff, just two contributors in the last Phosh release... I appreciate that it continues to move forward at all

I'm actually happy how fast we're moving. Sure, it got a bit quiet on the shell side the last couple of (monthly) cycles but we made lots of progress in other components (Wayland compositor, ModemManager, Pipewire, mobile-settings, …). We always appreciate more contributors though, there's so much interesting stuff to fix.

One thing we'd benefit a lot from is early testing and review of merge requests. That would make releases even smoother by catching errors before the actual release.

I'm already building a with all MRs that are close to getting merged (source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh-n) that would be a good candidate. Would be simple to build packages for more platforms. Same goes for phoc and other packages. There's something interesting for everyone 😃

@agx bart and luca have been working on nightly builds for plasma mobile packages for testing on postmarketOS, I'd suspect that doing Phosh would be a lot easier because of the smaller scope... I think this is something we'd be interested in setting up for you
