Revision history [back]

Hi, I recently started to develop for my jolla, using pyotherside.

I first planned to do standalone apps. But by looking qml files installed for official applications (to learn more about qml), I noticed how it could be easy to extend them (for exemple by adding buttons to existing menu and the code corresponding for running python scripts).

But I would like to know what will happen during a future official update.

Does updates are done with a text patching system or by replacing files? Can some qml files installed be deleted or moved after a code refactoring?

So if you have tips to do that properly, I'm interested. Thank you!
