Hello,
Some bits from PureOS;
Due to the fact that there is a new SoC / CPU in the Mini and the Librem 14, we need to move to a new kernel for these new devices. The good news is that the Byzantium kernel appears to fit our needs.
Let me add that we (as discussed) started uploading Librem 5 related packages to byzantium.
Do we need to have another version of the "blessed builds" documentation for the new pipelines and build process? I think that documenting the end-to-end process of building a package for the Librem 5 might be useful for third party developers. I'm happy to work on this but will need a bit of guidance.
As of now we avoided uploading patched gtk, g-c-c, g-i-s, webkit, epiphany, ... but that is bound to change in the next couple of days. The rule for byzantium there is:
- must be a regular (non-sloppy) build
- if the software is not adaptive per se it need to figure things out by itself e.g. based on the form factor or the dowstream GTK toggle we have.
This will also lead to some consolidation e.g. on the g-i-s side and the aim is certainly to not break the laptop use case but i just want to bring this up since the automatic testing you mentioned in earlier reports would become even more useful now.
Yes, it seems like now is the time to implement this. Just to be clear, you're looking to test the resulting Librem 5 image? Or just packages in the Byzantium distro? This makes a difference of course in how we run the automated QA.
