Yesterday I quickly "ported" the #Rockwork daemon to Qt6 in order to get it working with my newly arrived #Pebble Time 2 (Qt6 apparently has some Bluetooth LE upgrades that are needed (also it allows me to package it for pmOS)).
It now runs, but there seems to be some protocol difference with the new watch as Rockworkd insists PebbleOS is booted to recovery mode, which is not the case. If I remove that parsing, some functions do work, so I must be on the right track.

For once I'm glad I woke up before my alarm. My #Pebble smartwatch is *40 minutes* off from the actual time!
I thought I simply forgot to enable it but the alarm to wake me up to prepare to travel today just started ringing... on the bus.
I don't know how this can be, since I run the #RockWork daemon on #postmarketOS to keep it in sync. Perhaps only the GUI (which no longer runs due to Qt5 deps) does the syncing?

I finally got Linux support for the #Rockwork #Pebble client ready for merge, and now I find out #AlpineLinux is (justifiably) phasing out Qt5 packaging, so I can't actually use it. 🫠
Makes sense… time to port it to Qt6!

CW: 20.04 porting as a dummy
Recently, while on holidays, I exposed my beloved #banglejs2 to sea water, and while I managed to get it working again, the units of battery life are now days instead of weeks.
I have my old #PebbleTimeSteel around, which still works. But: You need an app to set the time. Thus, I embarked on a mission to bring #RockWork to #UbuntuTouch 20.04, found an attempt by someone else and did some more renaming ... it builds and launches, but rockworkd does not get started yet
