|
|

## What is F-Droid Server?
|
|
|
|
_fdroidserver_ is a suite of tools to publish and work with collections of
|
|
Android apps (APK files) and other kinds of packages. It is used to maintain
|
|
the [f-droid.org application repository](https://f-droid.org/packages). These
|
|
same tools can be used to create additional or alternative repositories for
|
|
publishing, or to assist in creating, testing and submitting metadata to the
|
|
f-droid.org repository, also known as
|
|
[_fdroiddata_](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata).
|
|
|
|
For documentation, please see <https://f-droid.org/docs>.
|
|
|
|
In the beginning, _fdroidserver_ was the complete server-side setup that ran
|
|
f-droid.org. Since then, the website and other parts have been split out into
|
|
their own projects. The name for this suite of tooling has stayed
|
|
_fdroidserver_ even though it no longer contains any proper server component.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
There are many ways to install _fdroidserver_, including using a range of
|
|
package managers. All of the options are documented on the website:
|
|
https://f-droid.org/docs/Installing_the_Server_and_Repo_Tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Releases
|
|
|
|
The production setup of _fdroidserver_ for f-droid.org is run directly from the
|
|
_master_ branch. This is put into production on an schedule (currently weekly).
|
|
So development and testing happens in the branches. We track branches using
|
|
merge requests. Therefore, there are many WIP and long-lived merge requests.
|
|
|
|
There are also stable releases of _fdroidserver_. This is mostly intended for
|
|
running custom repositories, where the build process is separate. It can also
|
|
be useful as a simple way to get started contributing packages to _fdroiddata_,
|
|
since the stable releases are available in package managers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
To run the full test suite:
|
|
|
|
tests/run-tests
|
|
|
|
To run the tests for individual Python modules, see the `tests/test_*.py` files, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
python -m unittest tests/test_metadata.py
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to run individual tests:
|
|
|
|
python -m unittest tests.test_metadata.MetadataTest.test_rewrite_yaml_special_build_params
|
|
|
|
There is a growing test suite that has good coverage on a number of key parts of
|
|
this code base. It does not yet cover all the code, and there are some parts
|
|
where the technical debt makes it difficult to write unit tests. New tests
|
|
should be standard Python _unittest_ test cases. Whenever possible, the old
|
|
tests written in _bash_ in _tests/run-tests_ should be ported to Python.
|
|
|
|
This test suite has built over time a bit haphazardly, so it is not as clean,
|
|
organized, or complete as it could be. We welcome contributions. The goal is
|
|
to move towards standard Python testing patterns and to expand the unit test
|
|
coverage. Before rearchitecting any parts of it, be sure to [contact
|
|
us](https://f-droid.org/about) to discuss the changes beforehand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Additional tests for different linux distributions
|
|
|
|
These tests are also run on various configurations through GitLab CI. This is
|
|
only enabled for `master@fdroid/fdroidserver` because it takes longer to
|
|
complete than the regular CI tests. Most of the time you won't need to worry
|
|
about them, but sometimes it might make sense to also run them for your merge
|
|
request. In that case you need to remove [these lines from .gitlab-ci.yml](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/0124b9dde99f9cab19c034cbc7d8cc6005a99b48/.gitlab-ci.yml#L90-91)
|
|
and push this to a new branch of your fork.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively [run them
|
|
locally](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/commands/README.html#gitlab-runner-exec)
|
|
like this: `gitlab-runner exec docker ubuntu_lts`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
The API documentation based on the docstrings gets automatically
|
|
published [here](https://fdroid.gitlab.io/fdroidserver) on every commit
|
|
on the `master` branch.
|
|
|
|
It can be built locally via
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -e .[docs]
|
|
cd docs
|
|
sphinx-apidoc -o ./source ../fdroidserver -M -e
|
|
sphinx-autogen -o generated source/*.rst
|
|
make html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To additionally lint the code call
|
|
```bash
|
|
pydocstyle fdroidserver --count
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When writing docstrings you should follow the
|
|
[numpy style guide](https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/format.html).
