Add to F-Droid #13

Assuming there is nothing particularly wrong with the concept is there a chance you could release this to F-Droid

dozingcat commented 6 years ago

I'd like to, I'll need to figure out how to build and package it for them.

Poussinou commented 6 years ago

I opened a Request For Packaging here.

To release this app, we need at least two things:

Can you please tag your releases (see here), it would be helpful for future maintenance, since it allows automatic updates. You could also attach the binaries to your releases (see here).
Since F-Droid needs to build everything from source, we cannot keep this jar. Could you please have a look at this, you can probably add it to gradle or something like that.

Thanks

Will the libvpx.a native libraries also be an issue? They're built from libvpx source files as described at https://github.com/dozingcat/WireGoggles/blob/master/README-libvpx.txt

Rudloff commented 6 years ago

We require everything to be built from source so if your build process uses prebuilt libraries, we will have to build them from source too. It's not impossible but will require a bit more work on our side.

@dozingcat any news? That request is still waiting.

dozingcat commented 5 years ago

Building the libvpx libraries from source is tricky and currently a manual process: https://github.com/dozingcat/VectorCamera/blob/master/README-libvpx.md. The best option may be to make a version without video encoding support.

IzzySoft commented 5 years ago

@Rudloff what'd you say, that sufficient?

@dozingcat if you could at least tag your releases and attach the APKs to the tags. I might be able to include your app with my repo for now (if it meets my inclusion criteria which I'm quite optimistic it will). Tags would be needed for F-Droid anyway :wink:

Rudloff commented 5 years ago

The instructions for building libvpx from source seem to be detailed enough so we can use them. But vorbis-java-1.0.0-beta.jar is still a problem.

dozingcat commented 5 years ago

I've replaced the Vorbis jar file with the corresponding source, and created a tagged release at https://github.com/dozingcat/VectorCamera/releases/tag/v1.4.1.
