The full instructions to add the repository depend if the users device is the “devel”[fn:1] flavor or “testing” [fn:2]

  1. Visit the url matching to release flavor of the device on the device

    NOTE: Replace aarch64 with the architecture of the one used on your device if it doesn’t match yours

    • A “devel”
    https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/sony:/kumano:/features:/sailfishos-sonyxperia/latest_aarch64/noarch
    • B “testing”
    RELEASE=4.5.0.24
https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/nemo:/testing:/hw:/sony:/kumano:/features:/cosupdater:/$RELEASE/latest_aarch64/noarch

    NOTE: Replace release with Sailfish OS version currently installed on the device

  2. Tap on the link for the package “feature-cosupdateservice” to download it.
  3. Open the settings app, got to “System->Untrusted Software”, tap checkbox the “Allow unstrusted software” if did not do so before
  4. Go back to the setttings app, tap Checkbox the “Allow unstrusted software” again to disable it if you did not do so following these step.
  5. Reboot the device. After the reboot the service will search for updates on it’s own and on demand.

Installation during image creation

To install Cosu during the image creation the kickstart file as to be modified.

  1. First the repository containing Cosu has to be added at the top of the kickstart file like this: 
    repo --name=feature-cosu --baseurl=https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/sony:/kumano:/feature-cosu
  2. Now the packages for Cosu have to be added to the %packages section. Insert feature-cosupdateservice and pattern-cosu in between %packages and %end like below: 
    %packages
feature-cosupdateservice
pattern-cosu
feature-sailfishos-sonyxperia
patterns-sailfish-device-configuration-j8210
%end

After executing these two steps you can proceed to create your devices images as usual.
