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
  • List, add/remove, enable/disable repositories
  • Show applications info similar to the official Jolla store client
  • Install/remove applications
  • All lists are scrollable, data is loaded in the background
  • Search for applications
  • Authorize to OpenRepos.net using Sailfish Secrets for secure storing of credentials
  • Comment, reply to comments, edit and delete own comments for apps
  • Use button panel to add HTML tags when typing comments (hint: select text and then click a button to wrap it with a tag)
  • Tap on the "Reply to" label on the comments list to navigate to the original comment
  • List categories and apps by categories
  • Hide any categories of applications
  • Show categories on the applications page - tap a category label to show all related applications
  • Initial support for apps bookmarks (offline only)
  • Initial support for backups (offline only)
  • Rate applications
  • Find and manage local RPM files

I can try, what is the harbour-storeman --option for debugging mode?

[Edit] No crash this time.

I'm afraid it's quite harder. You need to use SDK. Or enable core dumping and send me a dump. But I don't know much about it myself. There is a how-to in the osmscout-sailfish repository on GitHub.

It still crashes after posting for me, but the message is successfully sent, which is the most important.

It's really annoying, but I can't spot the place where Storeman crashes because I can't reproduce the bug in debugging mode.

Greetings all!
Am I the only one who has his instance crashing after posting a comment?
P.S. It crashed even now, while posting this one. Let's see if editing does it too...
P.S.2 Nope - editing works just fine

@Osetr
Bug report:
If there are several application updates available and you manually update one app using the pulley menu inside its application page, then this will install ALL available app updates instead of just the intended one.

Setup:

  • Jolla Version 3.20
  • Sony Xperia XA2 Plus

I just installed Sailfish and the first thing I did was trying to figure out how to get Qwant & Duckduckgo as my search engines on my browser and ended up here.

Is this supposed to be in the Jolla store?

I can't find it.

Install storeman to have an app that makes installing from openrepos easier (will automatically install dependencies if an app requires them, so you don't have to manually dl/install each rpm) and then for ddg and qwant you probably want this: https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/search-engines-sailfish-browser

No option to update OSM Scout Server from 1.14.2 to latest 1.15.5. Is this a bug or is it some kind of protection from Storeman as latest version should not work on older SFOS versions (I'm on 3.0.1.11)?

"Protection":

  1. Do read at the right place: https://openrepos.net/content/rinigus/osm-scout-server
    NB! For SFOS <=3.0.2.x users - do not upgrade here to versions >=1.14.3. Use OBS instead: http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/rinigus:/maps/sailfish_3.0.2.8_armv...
  2. Do not upgrade beyond OSM Scout Server 1.14.5 on SailfishOS < 3.0.2 and keep your map files: https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-server/issues/318

Did you try to run `pkcon get-updates`?

Just tried: [nemo@Sailfish ~]$ pkcon get-updates
Getting updates
Starting
Querying
Refreshing software list
Finished
There are no updates available at this time.

... which is correct, as there is nothing to update to from OpenRepos with OSM Scout Server 1.14.2 installed on SailfishOS < 3.0.2.

Please do research and read first, before asking (and thereby stealing others' time).

Still suffering from the issue where when many updates are available, choosing to update one separate application updates all of them...

Yes.

All SailfishOS releases for ARM comprise only ARMv7 binaries to date.
Hence SailfishOS on ARMv8 CPUs also uses solely ARMv7 application binaries.

Hey @osetr,
I am unable to log into my Openrepos account using my email because I am unable to write/paste dots/periods.

hi! i did install storeman. then i decided to erase it (mostly cause its a recomanded thing to do before a sailfish update...). But now that the app is erased, i can still find traces of it in the file browser (Such as ssu_openepos-oestr_release... or other files seemingly connected to the zypp file). the file browser refuses to allow me to erase these files even if the app is already erased, writing 'permission denied'.without being a developper and opening the terminal, how could i simply clean my phone from those left over files?thanks a lot.

You don't need to delete Storeman before upgrade. Just disable the openrepos repositories. To clean your phone you need to delete all the third-party repositories.

Original post.
Some answers:

  • There is no need to disable OpenRepos' repositories before upgrading SailfishOS since SailfishOS 1.0.4.
  • There is also need to be worried about the "leftovers". Some are intentional (e.g. configuration data, so you do not have to reconfigure it, when deciding to reinstall it), some are "natural" (e.g. a repository entry is not deleted unless you command so, either in Storeman or per SSU). As some thousand Storeman users obviously experienced no issues with that (including me), it is extremely unlikely that you might.
  • There may be "leftovers" after uninstalling, which are oversights. If you think you found one, please name it explicitly with a description how exactly you installed and uninstalled the software. With this information you may open an issue at GitHub (see web-links in Storeman's description above).
