Command-line sharing plugin now in Extras-devel
Tuomas Kulve has ensured that the services plugin which allows sharing content with arbitrary upstream servers (or the execution of any other command against it) has been packaged properly and put in Extras-devel: I reflashed my device and the biggest annoyance after restoring the  backup was recompiling the sharing-cli plugin as it  was not in any  repository. Now it is. It has been working for me for several months without issues,  although I’ve been sharing only medium size images over a decent  connection. It might not succeed in sharing videos over GPRS. At the time of writing, "sharing-cli" is still only available in Extras-devel, so the usual caveats apply.
