Patchmanager 3.0
Patchmanager 3 public beta
Make sure to unapply patches before upgrade from Patchmanager 2. Installation will fail if any patch is applied.
If you have installed prepatch, please remove it before patchmanager3 installation.
Changes between version 2 and version 3:
- Not changing original files. Patches applied to fakeroot located at /tmp/patchmanager
- OS update friendly. Patchmanager3 automatically detects when user start downloading an update and unapplying all patches
- Patches can be reordered to be applied in correct order. Just drag to left and drop at required position
- Collect information about possible conflicting patches. Visit patch info page.
- Automatic check for updates for online catalog patches. Notificaiton will popup if new version of patch will be released
- Patchmanager settngs are located inside Settings application as entry
Patchmanager daemon acts like proxy, filtering open calls and decide if application should open original file or fake one.
Target application translations
Add to your patch new import:
import org.SfietKonstantin.patchmanager 2.0
Add property to the root object:
property bool pmTranslationLoaded: PatchManagerTranslator ? PatchManagerTranslator.installTranslator("name-of-your-patch") : false
Change most visible text to:
pmTranslationLoaded ? qsTr("Normal text if all is okay") : "Please update patchmanager!"
Useful environment variables:
NO_PM_PRELOAD=1 disables preload plugin from filtering calls
PM_PRELOAD_DEBUG=1 enables additional stderr output for preload plugin
Keep in mind this is beta version and should contain a lot of bugs. However it was tested for a while.
Please report all bugs to: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92935
You can collect patchmanager logs by running: devel-su journalctl -al _COMM=jolla-settings + _EXE=/usr/sbin/patchmanager + _EXE=/usr/bin/patchmanager-dialog > patchmanager.log

Big thanks jakibaki for Prepatch. This was very good idea to create such way for applying patches. You can review my plugin here: https://github.com/sailfishos-patches/patchmanager/blob/patchmanager3/sr...

Is there a way to skip the os version check? 'Return old button style' v.0.0.1, for example, is compatible with 2.x - 3.0.3.10. So, I believe, it is compatible with 3.1.0.11 also. But, I can't install it due to the version check.

Any help... I was using with 6 or 7 patches on Xperia X Compact, and everything fine, until one reboot, when I got 'no patches available' message in patchmanager. All patches were still installed, but not showing up in patchmanager. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling patches and patchmanager, and still the same. Systemctl showed service failed to start due to fatal signal. Journalctl put out this:

Interesting thing now is that, even though all patches are applied, and everything working, still, whenever I open a terminal, the first thing that happens is it outputs 'ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libpreloadpatchmanag
er.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded
(cannot open shared object file): ignored.' about a hundred times, and also one time here and there after certain commands.

Thanks - output was about 3 million lines, so I started looking into options to filter, (from... To..., etc.), and send to file, etc., then I thought it might be easier to just look into wiping/repairing files, etc., so I eventually got functionality back. Working again now... I'll see if it happens again. Would be nice to know what caused it.

Hi, where can I find the "patch" that is required by ausmt (which is required by patchmanager)? Cannot make patches work for me otherwise.

I am not too experienced in tweaking Jolla, so I cannot say how to find "patch" on that page. Is it embedded into one of the ausmt packages? I still cannot find "patch"? Ausmt-1.3.0 is the one I am having now. At least trying to install that produced an error "patch is needed by ausmt-...".

use Storeman to install from Openrepos. And always refresh repositories before doing anything.

https://coderus.openrepos.net/pm2 => 502 bad gateway
EDIT1 - fixed now. Some patches still displayed in red (means not compatible with current OS release I guess). 'catalogue web' in Patchmanager 2.0 unresponsive. Just wait?
EDIT2 - 'Catalogue Web' now working, some patches still appear in red.
EDIT3 - 502 error again :-(

An update is obviously badly needed at this point. Has the project been abandoned?

The restart services function not working is a bit annoying but other then that I haven't expericened any other problems with it.

Hi. If I install Patchmanager 2.0 on Xperia X(2.1.1.26) all Sailfish-default icons are missing. But Patchmanager itself is working fine.
If someone else runs into this, you can get it back by reinstall the theme icons..
"pkcon install sailfish-content-graphics-default-z1.75-base"

The newest compatibility version available when uploading or editing a patch is 2.1.1.24, but the latest version of SFOS is 2.1.1.26 so the patch manager doesn't let me install a patch that I know will work.
