This is the first I’ve heard of a Phosh website. (Or maybe I just forgot about it.)

Kind of a cruel announcement when PureOS on the Librem 5 is stuck many versions behind :slight_smile:

Kind of agreed, but I have confidence it will be coming.

Meanwhile, I recall another forum user got 0.36 set up on Byzantium a while back:

I wouldn’t exactly recommend trying this without blessings from some Purism devs or at least an update from this user to see how it’s working out for them or if they ran into any problems.
I’m not sure what would happen now if this script were run.

Either way, the addition of folders in the App Menu is huge and I am really excited for this version.

First thing I did: sudo apt update … nothing …

I thought Purism was back-porting it when I saw this thread. I know about the release for 50h (and also that 0.39 had a delay to finish bigger things), but as long as I cannot install it without doing more than updating, I do not care much about.

Probably due to unmet dependencies:

purism@pureos:~$ sudo apt list phosh-core --installed
[sudo] password for purism: 
phosh-core/now 24 arm64 [installed,upgradable to: 37]

Attempting to upgrade the package prints this output:

purism@pureos:~$ sudo apt upgrade phosh-core

@spacemanspiffy I’m currently not updating these as backporting to Byzantium ate too much of my free time (as one usually also wants newer mobile settings (to arrange favorites, enable quick toggles, etc) which then requires newer libadwaita, which requires newer gtk, …) , sorry for not having better news.

Oh I definitely understand.

Do you happen to know what version would try to get installed if I were to run l5-fetch-next on my Byzantium phone? Looks like 0.37?

Any idea when we can move to crimson then?

We’re waiting largely on me, so developers may not have the resources available to provide an accurate estimate. I still need to solidify cashflow with leadership and finance, then use this information to improve our project management forecast (with assistance from developers) in order to determine delivery cadence. In the meantime, there are crowdfunding opportunities (i.e. interest from this forum to donate toward expedited development), for which we are ironing out implementation details.

There is a video of Phosh’s custom quick settings in this post:

The branch for byzantium is unmaintained and untested. I’d not recommend to use it atm.

So in fact there is no news for the major group of Byzantium users. :shushing_face:

It would be great if there will be no fee for overhead on these crowdfunding opportunities, and that all the donations would go without any reduction to the development.

I fully suspended my PureOS/Purism work end of 2023 so I’d rather not comment from the side line as this just puts people under pressure that are trying to improve the situation.

Without providing any more detail than you wish to disclose, would you continue on PureOS/Purism work if your schedule/adequate funding from a Purism-led fundraiser allowed?
