[SailfishDevel] Missing /usr/bin/sailfish-qml on the phone

[Sylvain B.]

Ok, so you are also saying that the "tap-on-RPM-to-install" mechanism in Sailfish OS could do it too but it's Jolla's choice not to?
Is that for security reasons? Since the user has accepted the risks by ticking "untrusted sources", could the behaviour be changed?

Basically, I was trying to say that if Jolla Store client can do it and
command line pkcon can do it (i.e. automatically install dependencies)
then Warehouse can do it too. If Warehouse doesn't do it, it's the
choice made by the creator of the app. I pulled the sources and haven't
found anything there about the dependencies.

One thing that I learned today: The PackageKit currently used by
Sailfish OS (version 0.8.something + a few patches)  has D-Bus method
called GetDepends. However the smart upstream guys have renamed it into
DependsOn:

https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/commit/e590ed91

(backward compatibility? what's that? never heard of it!) meaning that
Warehouse should try both methods to make sure that it works with future
versions of PackageKit. Right now it doesn't seem to do anything.

Cheers,
