Official F-Droid Release #27

Open Raeitus opened 3 years ago

Raeitus commented 3 years ago

I see that the app has been released on Izzy's repo in issue #9, but some people do not want to add another repo to F-Droid.

It would be nice if it can be added to the official F-Droid repo.

This is the inclusion policy that must be met to be able to submit. More info about submitting can be found here.

Here is the issue tracker to request your package to be available on F-Droid. After submitting, they can assist on what is needed to be done (if anything) to get it on F-Droid.

Will do. Thanks for the links!

veejayts commented 3 years ago

This will take a a bit of time to get done. Facing issues trying to work with fdroid's app inclusion tools.

veejayts commented 3 years ago

Refer MR on fdroid

PSA (because lots of activity has happened over at the fdroid repo which is not reflected here): The F-Droid inclusion process is on hold until a certain dependency is removed, making the inclusion process easier and less of a maintenance burden for everyone involved.

opusforlife2 commented 2 years ago

@veejayts What's the latest update on this? Were you able to move away from that dependency?

veejayts commented 2 years ago

Still being worked on over at the dev_v3 branch.

opusforlife2 commented 2 years ago

@veejayts Thanks!

Curiosity piqued. What made you decide on the OpenCV 3.x series instead of 4.x?

jcperil commented 1 year ago

Any update on this?

Any more updates? I can't find the app on fdroid.

last update is from 2021 https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/8336#note_505861119

opusforlife2 commented 1 year ago

@veejayts Were you able to remove the dependency?

ukrbugreporter commented 1 year ago

+1

exaCORE42 commented 11 months ago

Are there any plans to add this application to the official F-Droid repository? EDIT: just noticed the PSA on the README. Does this mean that there aren't any plans to do this at the moment?

k4r4b3y commented 11 months ago

Well, being delisted from google play store doesn't have much relation to NOT being listed on fdroid. Am I wrong?

exaCORE42 commented 11 months ago

The PSA says that OpenScan isn't being actively developed

k4r4b3y commented 11 months ago

Yeah that sucks. It is a pain in the ass to find a free software for camera-to-pdf doc scanners.

opusforlife2 commented 3 months ago

@veejayts I saw you removed the inactivity notice from the ReadMe. It's been quite long since v3 was started. Is it not possible to directly work on removing the closed source dependency so that F-Droid users can at least begin using the app? It doesn't need to be perfect.

veejayts commented 3 months ago

@opusforlife2 v3 is a rework of the app for removing the dependency and fixing the bugs. No promises, currently I'm the only one working on this app, I'll make improvements, fixes and releases when I find the time.

FYI The dependency itself is not closed source, it's a binary build dependency which is not hosted on any repo (afaik) so it has been bundled directly.

Why can't it be unbundled easily? It's the core dependency of the app and an Android specific library (https://github.com/jhansireddy/AndroidScannerDemo). I'm re-implementing this core functionality in Flutter instead of tweaking the existing library in Java and compiling this to fit our app. Hosting it is no longer viable either since it is kinda old at this point and will require a rework in of itself.

Aside from this, Android has had a lot of updates regarding app permissions which I'm honestly yet to fully look into.
