Hiking forward through the SDK jungle, I came across the nemomobile alarms QML plugin (https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms) which seems to be used on the device and might give me easy access to the timed server.

However, I could not install the package for the SDK targets (using the Sailfish OS tab in Creator). There seems to be only the source package in the repository:

[nemo@SailfishEmul ~]$ LANG=C pkcon search name alarms

Waiting in queue              [=========================]

Querying                      [=========================]         
Available       nemo-qml-plugin-alarms-qt5-0.0.9-1.5.1.source   Alarms plugin for Nemo Mobile

There does not seem to be a rpmbuild in the SDK VM. What is the correct way to generate the binary RPMs?

How to build a rpm by hand? You want to do that from mer sdk virtual machine, and not from emulator.

Ensure you have the IDE open and a sailfish project open, so that the mer sdk vm is running.
login in to the mer sdk as user "mersdk": ssh -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk mersdk@localhost
mkdir alarm-tmp; cd alarm-tmp
git clone https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms.git
cd nemo-qml-plugin-alarms
mb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -s rpm/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms-qt5.spec build for a arm rpm or mb2 -t SailfishOS-i486-x86 -s rpm/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms-qt5.spec build for an i486 (emulator) rpm
if all went ok, you get an output where you can find your rpm: /home/mersdk/alarm-tmp/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms/RPMS/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms-qt5-0.0.0-1.i586.rpm

Happy Hacking :)

EDIT: it was asked how it can be done if src.rpm is downloaded with zypper si:

Ensure you have the IDE open and a sailfish project open, so that the mer sdk vm is running.
login in to the mer sdk as user "mersdk": ssh -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk mersdk@localhost
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486-x86 -m sdk-install -R zypper si nemo-qml-plugin-alarms
mkdir alarm-tmp; cd alarm-tmp
tar xvjf ../rpmbuild/SOURCES/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms-qt5-0.0.9.tar.bz2
cd nemo-qml-plugin-alarms-qt5-0.0.9
mb2 -t SailfishOS-i486-x86 -s ../../rpmbuild/SPECS/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms-qt5.spec build reps. mb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -s ../../rpmbuild/SPECS/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms-qt5.spec build

NOTE: I would not use rpmbuild directly, mb2 does some wrapping around rpmbuild and sb2, to ensure all goes well. So I think this is the easier way. More about sb2:

Awesome, thanks! Will try that next year ;-)

And if I wanted to use the specific source RPM that is available in the repo? Would I zypper si that in the Mer SDK VM?

Thanks for all the patience and information! Great!

It seems, I cannot run both variants of mb2 build after each other. I got x86 libs included in the arm package...

I don't use mb2 that often, but seems it does not do a make clean. In that case I would do the following in between changing the arch: sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl make distclean (if first arch was arm) resp. sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486-x86 make distclean, evt. replace distclean with clean
