Would you mind making your app available via F-Droid or at least tagging releases and attaching it the APK there? Looks promising, but some of us tin foils rather avoid Play Store – and other folks cannot access it. Would be great to have an alternative.

Thanks in advance!

As far a I can see, there are no problems on the software side(like FCM) which would be incompatible with fdroid.

@JairajJangle you would just have to agree to have it in F-Droid and tag a new release via the github release system (https://github.com/JairajJangle/motionEye_app_HomeSurveillanceSystem/releases)

JairajJangle commented 5 years ago

Will be releasing soon on FDroid, maybe after an update, I am working on.

IzzySoft commented 5 years ago

That's great news! If you need help getting it listed with F-Droid, feel free to ping me, I gladly assist.

JairajJangle commented 5 years ago

Sure, thank for offering help, will let you know.

JairajJangle commented 5 years ago

Just to let interested ones know, due to lack of time, the release is delayed but it's definitely coming.

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

@JairajJangle Uh? Did I miss something, and it was added to F-Droid using a different package name? Or did you accidentally close the wrong issue?

JairajJangle commented 4 years ago

Can I get all the steps to add the app to Fdroid at one place? The guide to add apps on Froid is frustratingly scattered.

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Ugh… Maybe go the easy way, and simply open an RFP. Simplest when taking the default template and fill in all details; I'd then take care for transforming metadata. Might ping you (there or here) for missing details if any, packagers might ping you later if they run into trouble – and all of the mentioned are thankful for your help then :smiley:

If you want to take the technical approach, you can also open a merge request with prepared metadata. But that would mean you have a copy of the F-Droid build structure and can test the build. The big pro is it would go faster, as our packagers would just need to "confirm" instead of setting up builds themselves.

I can help you with the first approach. Not being an Android dev, I cannot tell much about the second.

Added issue: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/1277

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Thanks, great! Question ahead (while we wait for the bot scan results): Mind to implement Fastlane file structure here in your repo? That way you can maintain summary/description (as well as provide screenshots), and F-Droid would pick them up automatically. When you do this, please cover them by a tag afterwards (Fastlane is always picked up from the same tag the app was built from).

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Ugh, bot was fast and already approved :+1:

PS: The "insecure gradle" affects your builds, so it's no show-stopper for the RFP (you still will want to fix it, though).

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

"Fastlane starter kit" – just extract to the root of your repo :wink:

JairajJangle commented 4 years ago

Added fastlane to the root @IzzySoft

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Cool, thanks! Now can you cover that by a tag? Then I could push the RFP "upstairs".

JairajJangle commented 4 years ago

Done, release at v0.9.8.0.1_FDroid

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Ahem… Sorry, that causes an issue: Unless you plan to always use the _FDroid suffix for F-Droid releases and want F-Droid to pick up only those, it shouldn't be there. Reason is that for autmated updates, we define a pattern what tags to look for – which for your other tags would be v%v (versionCode, prefixed by a "v") – which wouldn't see this tag. Making that v%v_FDroid would make it miss all other tags…

Options would be making that v0.9.8.0.2 – or "moving up" v0.9.8.0.1 to that commit.

JairajJangle commented 4 years ago

New release v0.9.8.0.1

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Thanks! Updated the RFP: removed summary/desc from metadata, added fastlane+ready labels. :crossed_fingers:

JairajJangle commented 4 years ago

@IzzySoft any updates on the FDroid release?

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

See there (at the RFP). Sorry, I'm no packager, so it doesn't help pinging me here (if you ping on the RFP, there's at least a chance a packager gets aware of it – here the chance for that is much lower). I've marked it ready for packaging, which is where my terrain ends.
