F-Droid version of the app is not updated #335

Open aha999 opened 4 years ago

aha999 commented 4 years ago

OpenHub on fdroid is around 1 year old, while the playstore version is newer.

Why is this the case?

Bubu commented 4 years ago

I tried updating this but in doing do noticed that openhub uses bugly, which as far as we know, is non free software (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/commit/bd96a17ef20ff7d29f7dffffad98be8feaf780ed)

As this also is the case for the already published version on f-droid, and we cannot distribute nonfree software, I'd remove openhub from f-droid for now, until this is solved (i.e. via a free gradle build flavour.)

JonnyTech commented 4 years ago

If Bugly has to be used then maybe @IzzySoft may consider hosting it on his developer built APK repository (Hello Izzy). There was also a discussion about Bugly on the F-Droid forum.

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

@JonnyTech OpenHub was once in my repo IIRC (or was it just a discussion on whether to take it into my repo). There were some issues with the developer of the app OpenHub was largely based upon (Fasthub, see #12) without giving proper credit (checking out Fasthub, changing all copyright hints, and pushing the results as "initial commit" instead of doing a proper fork and giving credit – that's what I roughly remember at least). As that was never clarified fully, I decided then to better not have OpenHub in my repo.

JonnyTech commented 4 years ago

Thanks @IzzySoft, I should have "done my homework" first!

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Why should you even have suspected, @JonnyTech – and if you had, how easy would it have been to dig it up? I remembered some keywords, which is how I found the issue again. Not having deleted it (and thus kept it transparent) speaks for the repo owners – in comparable cases, I saw such issues "disappear" more than just once. Unfortunately, Fasthub has non-free dependencies as well (the usual suspects: Firebase, Crashlytics) – and its libre fork died in 2017 (no longer maintained).

Bubu commented 4 years ago

Fasthub libre very much works. It's my daily used github app.

JonnyTech commented 4 years ago

Thanks, I shall find something else that respects FOSS principles.

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

@Bubu oops… I didn't mean that of course. Was just saying it seems development has stopped back in 2017, and the app is no longer maintained.

Nemris commented 4 years ago

@IzzySoft Unfortunately, until upstream releases an update, FastHub Libre is stuck on an old version, too.

IzzySoft commented 4 years ago

Oh. For 3 years already stuck waiting for upstream? OK, I didn't check. Just saw the last commit date.

Hey there! As of OpenHub 3.2.1, Bugly was removed, so there’s nothing in the way of an update for F-Droid anymore. It should be coming soonish, hopefully. Maybe an F-Droid banner can be added to OpenHubs GitHub description as it should be up to date there too by then. Thanks for the removal of Bugly! (and then you can close this issue)

jugendhacker commented 3 years ago

As bugly was removed, I opened a MR to update OpenHub in F-Droid again: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/8762

Yquas commented 3 years ago

Now F-Droid has added OpenHub version 3.2.1. So this issue can now be closed. (see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FDroidUpdates/comments/mxhtim/3_apps_added_59_updated_at_fdroidorg/) @aha999
