This repository includes the sources for all my SailfishOS patches. They can be installed either from the Patchmanager Web Catalog or from Openrepos.
Discussions and feedback are invited in the dedicated thread on the SailfishOS forum. If you like my work, you can buy me a coffee through Liberapay.
The easiest way to use the patches is through Storeman (Openrepos) or the Patchmanager. You can also download RPM packages manually and install them using File Browser or the terminal. The File Browser app can be installed from Jolla's official store.
You need sailfish-patch for development.
To build a patch, first prepare the working directory by running
sailfish-patch -u
in the respective patch directory. All original source packages will be downloaded and prepared for development.
Note: if a patch relies on proprietary packages from Jolla, you must first configure a working SSH connection so the sources can be downloaded via your SailfishOS device.
You can then build the patch by running
sailfish-patch -b
and publish it directly to your device (via SSH) by running
sailfish-patch -p
These options can be combined:
sailfish-patch -u -b -p
will prepare, update, build, and install the patch in one run.
Some patches require you to restart certain services on the phone before the changes will be visible. Most patches provide the necessary commands and the sailfish-patch tool will offer to run them for you. Alternatively, you can also restart services through Patchmanager (see the pulley menu on the settings page) or the settings app (system settings → utilities → restart homescreen).
Note: the sailfish-patch tool
will automatically restart the maliit server for keyboard patches. The manual
command is: systemctl --user restart maliit-server
Each patch defines its content license in the CONFIG file, and each directory
contains a copy of the license text in the COPYING file. Most, if not all,
patches are released under the terms of GPL-3.0-or-later.
