Publish app on F-Droid #12

Closed IzzySoft closed 5 years ago

IzzySoft commented 6 years ago

With your app being open source, would you mind having it available on F-Droid? From what I can see, it would fit their inclusion criteria.

Hoping for your agreement, I've already opened a request for packaging.

MarquisLP commented 6 years ago

Hi @IzzySoft , I would be more than happy to have the app on F-Droid!

From what I understand, the F-Droid team will handle the inclusion process, but is there anything more that needs to be done on my end?

IzzySoft commented 6 years ago

Glad to read, @MarquisLP – that's great! Yes, maybe you could add the distributionSha256Sum to your gradle, as the F-Droid Bot suggests?

I wonder that the F-Droid Bot didn't complain about Dropbox; is that library FOSS? In case a maintainer considers it a "show-stopper": would a flavor without Dropbox be a possibility? As I understand it, that's just for backup purposes and not essential to the app itself (after all, one could use a different app for backup purposes)?

IzzySoft commented 6 years ago

OK, just got to know Dropbox SDK uses MIT license and thus is "whitelisted". The RFP is currently looked at by a dev. Could you please meanwhile fix this minor nuisance in the gradle? Then we should be ready to go.

MarquisLP commented 6 years ago

Good to hear! I'll see if I can add the SHA checksum later today.

MarquisLP commented 6 years ago

Alright, the SHA-256 checksum is now up and running!

IzzySoft commented 6 years ago

Great! Then a dev will take over from me to process it. Thanks a lot!

IzzySoft commented 5 years ago

Yay, cool!

MarquisLP commented 5 years ago

Hi @IzzySoft , quick question about the F-Droid integration: do updates in this repository automatically get published to F-Droid? Or is there some manual work that needs to be done before an update gets posted?

Poussinou commented 5 years ago

@MarquisLP

As you can see in this file, new versions will be taken automatically, as long as you tag them accurately :)

1.4.7 should appear in a few hours/days on F-Droid

IzzySoft commented 5 years ago

The lines @Poussinou refers to:

Auto Update Mode:Version %v
Update Check Mode:Tags

"Check for (new) tags whose name is higher than the current version" :wink:
