Crossbuilder with ssh deployment

jezek

For those who use crossbuilder for development, the ssh deployment pull request has just been issued. It allows you to deploy your code to device via ssh (wi-fi) instead of adb (cable), using the --ssh option.

Feel free to test, complain and/or enjoy.

@jezek Hey this is fantastic news. I used crossbuilder some times ago, but dropped since then because it used to make UT OS unstable (tried to compile keyboard code for instance). What's the state of the art nowadays? Do you generally recommend crossbuilder to compile OS applications which are made by .deb files. Great job BTW, thank you, I think I might use it with ssh on PinePhone now

It's the most convenient way I found to thinker with integrated apps and deploy to device for testing. If anyone knows some better method, I'm all ears.

Have you tried the development kit made by @fredldotme ?
I'm not sure dev kit is the right term but from what I understood it could help develop and test integrated/core apps.

I didn't have time (yet) to test it out myself so just an option.

jezek

@applee As I recall, the development kit is for bionic development only. Or do we mean different things? You have some link?

Not sure in fact if it can be used with 16.04 you're right.
