run `fdroid build` straight out of an app's git repo This creates a new metadata file type that is meant to be included in the git repo of the app to be built. It uses the same formats as `metadata/`, e.g. `.txt`, JSON, XML, YAML. The filename is instead `.fdroid.(json|txt|xml|yml)`. This metadata then lets the user run `fdroid build` directly in the git repo of the app, and it will run the build as any other fdroid build. @mvdan @CiaranG @krt @pserwylo @NicoAlt @parmegv feedback, flames, comments wanted Given the very raw state of testing Android apps with gitlab-ci, I think this is a great opportunity for fdroidserver to become the standard method for testing Android apps with gitlab-ci, starting with this merge request to provide fdroid metadata embedded in the project. What still needs to added is something like `fdroid builddepends debian` and `fdroid builddepends android` which reads the metadata and dumps out a list to be fed to `apt-get install` and `android update sdk --no-ui --filter` respectively, so that a *.gitlab-ci.yml* can look like: ``` apt-get -y install fdroidserver apt-get -y install `fdroid builddepends debian` echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter `fdroid builddepends android` fdroid build ``` Then that would become a template *.gitlab-ci.yml* that should work on most Android apps. This was marked Work-In-Progress because it depends on !57 See merge request !62 |

F-Droid Server
Server for F-Droid, the Free Software repository system for Android.
The F-Droid server tools provide various scripts and tools that are used to maintain the main F-Droid application repository. You can use these same tools to create your own additional or alternative repository for publishing, or to assist in creating, testing and submitting metadata to the main repository.
For documentation, please see the docs directory.
Alternatively, visit https://f-droid.org/manual/.
What is F-Droid?
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
Installing
Note that only Python 3 is supported. We recommend version 3.4 or later.
The easiest way to install the fdroidserver tools is on Ubuntu, Mint or other
Ubuntu based distributions, you can install using:
sudo apt-get install fdroidserver
For older Ubuntu releases or to get the latest version, you can get
fdroidserver from the Guardian Project PPA (the signing key
fingerprint is 6B80 A842 07B3 0AC9 DEE2 35FE F50E ADDD 2234 F563)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guardianproject/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fdroidserver
On OSX, fdroidserver is available from third party package managers,
like Homebrew, MacPorts, and Fink:
brew install fdroidserver
For Arch-Linux is a package in the AUR available. If you have installed
yaourt or something similiar, you can do:
yaourt -S fdroidserver
For any platform where Python's easy_install is an option (e.g. OSX
or Cygwin, you can use it:
sudo easy_install fdroidserver
Python's pip also works:
sudo pip3 install fdroidserver
The combination of virtualenv and pip is great for testing out the
latest versions of fdroidserver. Using pip, fdroidserver can
even be installed straight from git. First, make sure you have
installed the python header files, virtualenv and pip. They should be
included in your OS's default package manager or you can install them
via other mechanisms like Brew/dnf/pacman/emerge/Fink/MacPorts.
For Debian based distributions:
apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip virtualenv
Then here's how to install:
git clone https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver.git
cd fdroidserver
virtualenv env/
source env/bin/activate
pip3 install -e .
python3 setup.py install
