<![CDATA[Trying to help to improve Dekko2]]>As a developer and following the call in the last Q&A for helping community hands on Dekko2, I went to www.dekkoproject.org but there is only outdated content.

Where I have to go? I need the current sources, build instructions and some guidance to get started.

Now I will read and try to understand where to put hands on. Any internal documentation about the structure would be helpful.

I looked it up yesterday and failed on using launchpad. You can select your ubuntu version there using a drop down menu. But it doesn't filter the package list right away. You have to press the filter button next to the drop down... So okay, don't use any ubuntu version that is EOL... ^^

You must have had other problems... its all in the clickable ppa, also for 17.10: https://launchpad.net/~bhdouglass/+archive/ubuntu/clickable

From the dialog in the tg group:

Jonatan Hatakeyama Zeidleradmin
Du meintest, du nutzt Ubuntu 17.10, oder? Das ist schon lange EoL und unser clickable PPA stellt sicher keine Updates mehr dafΓΌr zur VerfΓΌgung.

(it's in German but the message is clear: 17.10 is EOL and there are no updates for clickable anymore). Just to have this clear for others.

How does clickable know while building what is the target device and what is installed on it? Should the device already be connected before start of clickable?

It defaults to building for an armhf device. It assumes UT is installed and will proceed to install the app. Yes, it's easiest if you connect the device via usb first. Make sure you can adb into the device, that's the same way how clickable will communicate with the device

Both you cannot achieve with simple Makefiles. I mean in theory you can but number 2) will be hard.
Clickable was made to run everything in a container but sometimes it needs a bit of extra love πŸ˜‰

Perhaps I can install and run this click pkg on my test device. How is the workflow? I modify some source file and run 'clickable' again to get a new pkg which includes my change? Forgive my stupides, but I'm used to a world of

./configure
make
make install

I can't say much about this. I installed this 17.10 some weeks ago to flash my E4.5 and never used it for other things. Today I applied the steps you said last night and it ended up with clickable as 4.4, unwilling to update because 17.10 is EOL.

Anyway, at the end of the day it packed a dekko click pkg of version 0.1.8

$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Then logout and login again.

Only an update of Ubuntu to 18.04 solved the probl and gave clickable as 5.9. The minimum version of this clickable should be documented.
