Another #Cellbroadcast bit coming to #phosh / #LinuxMobile. The results of the users choice are set in the modem via a small daemon based on information we're getting from mobile-broadband-provider-info. That way only the tiny UI bit is DE specific, the other bits can be reused on other platforms as is. @devrtz is working on adding persistent storage to keep a message history.
Thanks to @NGIZero for supporting this and @snwh for the UI design.
In order for distros to be able to prepare for the rename I've tagged a 0.48~alpha1 of stevia: https://sources.phosh.mobi/releases/phosh-osk-stevia/
Planning to create .deb packages? 🚀
See my recommended workflow for new Debian packages when upstream uses git: https://optimizedbyotto.com/post/debian-packaging-from-git/
In this post, I demonstrate the optimal workflow for creating new Debian packages in 2025, preserving the upstream git history. The motivation for this is to lower the barrier for sharing improvements to and from upstream, and to improve software provenance and supply-chain security by making it easy to inspect every change at any level using standard git tooling.\nKey elements of this workflow include:\nUsing a Git fork/clone of the upstream repository as the starting point for creating Debian packaging repositories. Consistent use of the same git-buildpackage commands, with all package-specific options in gbp.conf. DEP-14 tag and branch names for an optimal Git packaging repository structure. Pristine-tar and upstream signatures for supply-chain security. Use of Files-Excluded in the debian/copyright file to filter out unwanted files in Debian. Patch queues to easily rebase and cherry-pick changes across Debian and upstream branches. Efficient use of Salsa, Debian’s GitLab instance, for both automated feedback from CI systems and human feedback from peer reviews. To make the instructions so concrete that anyone can repeat all the steps themselves on a real package, I demonstrate the steps by packaging the command-line tool Entr. It is written in C, has very few dependencies, and its final Debian source package structure is simple, yet exemplifies all the important parts that go into a complete Debian package:\n

Are you already collecting wireless information like wifi points and GSM antennas for #beaconDB?
Building a #bigtech independent database with such information is important for #DigitalSovereignty.
The #MobileLinux eco system already uses beaconDB for determining the position of devices when there is no #GPS.

#phosh-osk-stub is now #stevia 🎹 . The rename wants to reflect that
- it's not just a stub
- typing should hopefully be "sweet"
(and it allows us to keep the "pos_" symbol prefix).
