Installer for the native OpenRepos.net client for Sailfish OS

Starting from version 0.2.9 Storeman is buit with the help of Sailfish OS OBS and Storeman Installer is used for its installation. To update Storeman prior to 2.9, one need to remove the existing RPM and use the installer or use an appropriate repository for manual update. Further updates will be done automatically. All old RPMs from this repository were archived here.

ATTENTION!

  • Every SFOS release requires a configured OBS repository. Therefore Storeman installation may not be available for some time after a new SFOS release until maintainers configure a new repository. This is especially true for EA releases
  • If you have any troubles with installing, removing or updating packages after the system upgrade try to run "devel-su pkcon refresh" in the terminal app
  • Storeman can still be unstable! Application name does not affiliated to any other software

Installation instructions:

  • Enable "System → Security → Untrusted software → Allow untrusted software" in the device settings
  • Visit this page using the device’s browser, and tap the harbour-storeman-installer-$version.jolla_.noarch.rpm link further down the page or download the RPM with your computer and transfer it to the device somehow
  • Tap the downloaded or transfered RPM in the device's "File downloaded" notification or in the file browser and confirm the installation
  • Optionally disable back the "Allow untrusted software"
  • Find the "Storeman Installer" icon in the device's app grid, tap it and wait for Storeman installation finishes - the "Storeman Installer" icon should be replaced by Storeman itself
  • The installer itself is removed automatically

Current features:

  • List recently updated applications
  • List installed applications

  • Show applications info similar to the official Jolla store client

Wow!!! Now even on my below par mobile data network this is unually fast, I love it, now I am the biggest fan of this app. But isn't there a way to authenticate accounts and add comments from the app??? Even Warehouse has that option missing

osetr's picture

Thanks for your comment! I sorry but it seems that current api does not support posting comments.

DameCENO's picture

In the todo list there is no plan to add the category listing option, isn't that a good feature to have?

osetr's picture

Done!

osetr's picture

Surely. It's a part of "Implement all basic features".

DameCENO's picture

Thanks osetr, you rock!!! keep it up man, was about to request for contributing with a french translation but I see it done already...

osetr's picture

There are new strings for translation with every new release. So you can join our Transifex team and help with further translations)

It's damn fast.

Thanks, looks really good! Still, I'd prefer not using the repository model at all, it's complicated, slow and prone to accidents. Almost everything at OpenRepos is a self-contained app anyway.

Mister_Magister's picture

Awesome man using it is really fast and light not like that tought warehouse. Great job can't wait for updates and crash fixes :)

Repostore :)

Thanks! Nice work :)

TMavica, 247, I cannot reproduce your issue. Do you launching it by command harbour-storeman? What about xdg-open /usr/share/applications/harbour-storeman.desktop?

Openstore is an interesting idea but there is already the Ubuntu store with such a name https://open.uappexplorer.com/ They also have a self-titled client application so there could be a misunderstanding.

Same issue for me. I can lauch it only by the terminal. Looks like the desktop file doesn't work.

It's very nice UI when we success to open it but freeze after installing an app. Maybe missing "search" on the drop menu.

osetr's picture

What about launching with xdg-open /usr/share/applications/harbour-storeman.desktop?

TMavica's picture

invoker: invoking execution : '/usr/bin/harbour-storeman'

nothing response after this, storeman wont launch

osetr's picture

Do you still have this problem?

TMavica's picture

No. It still cant launch with icon

Hartzi's picture

What about.. OR Appman, Open Repos Appman, Open Appman..? After all, open repos is not a store (yet).

247's picture

now it's working but i need to launch it from terminal... by the way what about "openstore" as a name?

TMavica's picture

I can launch it in terminal, but not just click the storeman icon

Hartzi's picture

The UI feels really nice! Already much better than Warehouse :)

Though it seems that install/uninstall an app freezes the UI.

osetr's picture

Thanks for all your replies. I fixed loading of the first page and the typo in the header.

Sources will be published in a short time as they need some preparations.

247's picture

very good idea but does not start on j1...

eekkelund's picture

Is it opensource?

Doesn't work on my Jolla 1.

Hartzi's picture

This is super cool :) Could you please add also the i486 binaries for the tablet.

Typo "Recentry updated" (page header in first image).

Application installs but doesn't run, cover appears with waiting spinner and closes after about 10 seconds. 
(my sfos 2.1.0.11)
