following guidelines from:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html#upgrading-optparse-code
except, still using option = parse.parse_args() instead of args = ...
- using the following script in folder fdroidserver:
for i in *.py; do
sed -i -e 's/optparse/argparse/' \
-e 's/OptionParser/ArgumentParser/' \
-e 's/OptionError/ArgumentError/' \
-e 's/add_option/add_argument/' \
-e 's/(options, args) = parser/options = parser/' \
-e 's/options, args = parser/options = parser/' \
-e 's/Usage: %prog/%(prog)s/' $i;
done
- use ArgumentParser argument to replace (option, args) = parser.parse()
call
- use parser.error(msg) instead of raise ArgumentException as suggested
in https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html#exiting-methods
- in fdroid catch ArgumentError instead of OptionError
No need for a specific metadata type for 'Requires Root'. Just use 'bool',
then convert on output. This keeps the internal representation consistent
since all boolean-ish values will be Python bools. This in turn makes
parsing metadata in various formats easier. This also makes setting
booleans more tolerant since all these values are valid:
Yes yes No no True true False false
The AntiFeatures metadata is a comma-separated list of tags, like
Categories, so it should also be stored internally as a list. This makes
parsing XML and JSON easier.
The test cases' .pickle files look like they change a lot, but they really
don't, its only the change of default AntiFeatures value from None to []
For devs that want to build and distribute nightly builds of their apps
using the fdroid tools. The core idea here is to make the fdroidserver
tool suite the single set of tools for all types of builds and releases.
That will hopefully drive more free software developers to make f-droid.org
an core channel for official releases.
If the date in an APK is in the future, that could cause confusion. If the
system clock is wrong, then the APK will also have a date in the future.
This is most likely on offline signing machines, since they do not have a
time source to sync to.
This is from MR !48. It refuses to update because there is no 'keypass'
or 'keystorepass' in the config. These shouldn't be in the config of any
properly set up existing repo in the first place. They certainly aren't
in any of mine (as a result of which, it refused to work on any of
them!)
make it really easy to upgrade unsigned repos to signed
As a key step to removing support for unsigned repos from fdroidclient (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/issues/12), this merge request makes `fdroid update` require a signing key. If there is no keystore, it'll prompt the user to create one using `fdroid update --create-key`.
This closes#13
See merge request !48
This provides the final option in this series, allowing the user to just
add --create-key to `fdroid update, and thereby upgrade an unsigned repo to
a proper signed repo. It also might be useful
closes#13https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/issues/13
This is a more flexible approach than testing for the complete SDK and
build-tools up front. This will only test for the commands that are
actually being run, so that if you only have `aapt` installed, you can do
`fdroid update` without errors, but other commands will still give
appropriate errors.
This also makes the build_tools item in config.py optional, it is only
needed if you want to force a specific version of the build-tools.
I wrote up the feature to automatically generate symlinks with a constant name
that points to the current release version. I have it on by default, with a
*config.py* option to turn it off. There is also an option to set where the
symlink name comes from which defaults to app['Name'] i.e. F-Droid.apk, but
can easily be set to app['id'], i.e. _org.fdroid.fdroid.apk_. I think the best
place for the symlinks is in the root of the repo, so like
https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk or https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/ChatSecure.apk
For the case of the current FDroid static link https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk
it can just be a symlink to the generated one (https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk
or https://f-droid.org/org.fdroid.fdroid.apk). Right now, this feature is all
or nothing, meaning it generates symlinks for all apps in the repo, or none. I
can’t think of any problems that this might cause since its only symlinks, so
the amount of disk space is tiny. Also, I think it would be useful for having
an easy “Download this app” button on each app’s page on the “Browse” view. As
long as this button is less prominent than the “Download F-Droid” button, and
it is clear that it is better to use the FDroid app than doing direct
downloads. For the f-droid.org repo, the symlinks should probably be based on
app['id'] to prevent name conflicts.

By using jarsigner here, we can get rid of getsig.java, since the rest of
what getsig.java does can easily be handled in python. This simplifies
installation and deployment, and makes things work better cross-platform.
This also means that the fdroidserver Debian package no longer needs to
Build-Depends: on default-jdk, which makes builds in pbuilder run a lot
faster. :-)
