<![CDATA[Why is upstart still a dependency in lomiri-ui-toolkit and how do you go around it?]]>Seems like this is the last culprit for me to start contributing to the development of Lomiri.

The reason I am posting here and not in Telegram is because I prefer to have those clear and sorted for anyone joining after me so that we have some kind of up to date wiki of issues and how to resolve them.

Hope it works on the host machine as well rather than needing a connected device because I am using it as a desktop.

I read the documentation, it seems it's meant to be used for building packages for Lomiri, not working on Lomiri itself?

@lduboeuf This is another package with its own dependencies different from lomiri itself.

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri/-/blob/main/debian/control?ref_type=heads

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-ui-toolkit/-/blob/main/debian/control?ref_type=heads

I am building from https://github.com/ubports/ubports-pdk

ok, never tried from the pdk, but you can remove all that part i guess

I don't remember having issue with it ,
Here is the debian version, they have just strip it:

We are speaking of 10 years ago... The core team is building the package quite often so they must be using some other version. I checked all other branches but they all require upstart.

Can't bypass it because it's a requirement to build lomiri itself which I am aiming to work on.

You can bypass that package meanwhile. But weird indeed it keeps upstart, a work is being done to move Toolkit to Qt6, i guess this is removed there
