Publish on F-Droid?

[IzzySoft]

Being an open source app, it would be great to have TORGI available on F-Droid. A raw glance at your gradle files seems to show (to a non-dev like me) there are no show stoppers (proprietary libs), though I might have missed something.

Would you support that?

To make it easier for you, I already opened a request for packaging with F-Droid. For the builds (F-Droid builds from your source code), it would be great if the tags and versions on the releases/ page (currently 1.2.2) match those in your gradle/manifest (currently 1.2) 😉

Until it becomes available at F-Droid (provided you accept), could you have signed .apk files at your releases? Then I could offer to provide your app via my repo immediately.

Thanks in advance!

@IzzySoft, thanks for the involvement!

@tabinfl and @scottlandis are really the primary devs of this project at the moment. I'll reach out to them on our sofwerx slack and see if we have any reservations of doing so. There may be some reservations as we're iterating toward making these apps more user friendly.

[IzzySoft]

Thanks Ian! Looking forward to your update then. The RFP is stalled anyway until I mark your approval there – so nothing will happen with it until then.

@ianblenke The F-Droid bot just checked your repo and found an insecure gradle. Regardless of how you decide about "going F-Droid", you might wish to fix that 😉

[ianblenke]

@IzzySoft Ouch! Thanks! Seems like a simple fix there. PRs are always welcomed 😁

[IzzySoft]

Yepp, should be easy to fix from what I've heard. I'm no Android dev, so I prefer not to tamper with the code, though 😉

[ianblenke]

@IzzySoft PR #31 should address this. I'll just need @tabinfl or @scottlandis to give this a +1 before merging.

Let’s pause this please until I return, we are going to have some fast-moving updates coming out of this week’s experiments, I’d prefer to avoid any distractions (e.g. from wider app distribution) until after those are addressed. @ianblenke & @scottlandis, I will fill you in offline.

[IzzySoft]

@ianblenke thanks!

@tabinfl No problem. Just give me the "Go" when it's ready, so I mark the RFP at F-Droid accordingly then. Thanks to you as well!

Just a comment:

This looks like an awesome project!

@tabinfl are you returned? Can we get this running?

[IzzySoft]

Unfortunately you only offer unsigned and debug releases here, else I had at least added it to my repo meanwhile. Hope that's not because you fell into Google's trap of having them sign your packages, and your signing key is only there?
