#SailfishOS #Gecko dev diary Day 185. In which I make an embarrassing mistake while trying to reconcile texture flags 😊 🎏

And thanks for your really kind offer. The fact that you're following along and commenting is more than enough motivation for me! Once this thing builds I'm hoping it'll be easier for others to contribute too.

First the upstream code has changed too much, so the patches won't apply directly. Second I only want to apply the patches that are absolutely necessary to get the build to complete. Until the code is building it's really hard to parallelise the work, so getting it to build with as few changes as possible is the priority right now.

The camera app would've been recoverable in 10secs if I would immediately have thought of https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/millipixels/-/issues/36

The solution/workaround would have been to refocus #millipixels

so that it starts streaming again.

I've been wanting to try out the latest #megapixels as well ... 🤔

But your demo was very effective: it showed it worked, but also that it's proper bleeding-edge stuff.
