Are bleeding edge of all packages needed ? If not I wonder if just budiling what needs to be bleeding edge in a COPR overlay on top of a stable release would work. This would give you a stable base to work on and a lot of control over what goes on top of it, including downgrading packages and applying custom not-yet-upstream patches. You could of course at the same time make sure all the bits and pieces land in Rawhide, so that when you switch your COPR overlay baseline to the next Fedora stable release, less custom package versions are needed. Rinse and repeat until no overlay packages are needed. :) > > > Status of Fedora Pine as of 15:15 CET > > > > Cams now working, but app needs rework > > Mobile INET working > > WIFI working > > Touch working > > SMS working > > GPS working > > Calls partly, "calls app" does not connect to pulseaudio. > > Headphones ( sort of ) > > Mali400 GPU support working ( MPV rulez ) > > > > and with Gnome(38) instead of Phosh.. no window problems!
