I'm adding this meta-ticket to track things that need to happen (mainly in packaging) for the next release. I would be nice if we can manage a new release in time for postmarketos v24.12:
New dependencies for sxmo-utils:
New configuration:
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/01-sensor-claim.rules for polkit (see https://lists.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-devel/patches/51394), can probably go into rootfs-etc-polkit-1-rules.d-00-sxmo.rules in our Alpine package?Would also be nice if we can ensure full calling support on the pixel 3a (google-sargo) for this upcoming release, fdelamotte already figured out almost all the details.
What would the benefits be to changing to wofi?
For 6.5 dwm we need to resolve this ticket: https://lists.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-devel/%3CZkU7RtrKSv4xb95o@pppp.gateway%3Ed

- It has a smooth scrolling experience that is a lot more intuitive and convenient than bemenu's pagination.
- It supports multiline items

Right
I'd prefer to have the polkit rule in sxmo-utils, that's much easier to keep track of than making sure every distro gets the right one.
I don't know what alpine packaging is like, but if we were to make a pre-release (e.g. v1.17-rc1) could that be packaged in alpine edge to get some wider testing?

Right, agreed, I just submitted a patch for that.

Yes, that sounds quite feasible and a good idea. (I don't think the rc suffix is common in Alpine but we can just do a less advertised v1.17 and a final v1.18)

We basically do this already, there always seem to be a few bugs that turn up after making a release, which tend to get fixed in 1.X.1 or 1.X.2. So perhaps the thing to do is to make a 1.17 release sooner rather than later, and plan on a couple of point releases to clean up the loose ends?
I'm also a bit against making wofi the default, without strong argument. Just they are different, with different pros and cons.

Yes, but for the out-of-the-box experience I think wofi now provides the most intuitive/comfortable experience. I guess we should just let more people try and weigh in on what they prefer as default.
One more for the release todo-list:
- ensure latest svkbd is released (at suckless) and packaged (in aports)
One more for the list:
- ensure lswt is added as a dependency for sxmo-utils

Agreed, would be good to really something soonish once all the important parts we want in are in place (e.g. peanutbutter).
Another dependency to add:
- ensure colordiff is installed because doing migrations with plain diff without colours is not pleasant
- sxmo-utils 1.17.0 has been git tagged
- svkbd release has been requested to suckless, will have to package it when done
- lswt dependency not yet needed because we reverted that patch
- colordiff dependency not required because we don't want the heavy perl/delta dependency and implemented a fallback solution that adds colour with plain sed.
- wvkbd has been released this week
- peanutbutter has been released earlier already
- dwm-6.5 still open
