Do you plan to bring this to F-Droid?

[katrinleinweber]

Google-avoiding users would surely appreciate this. https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Submitting_to_F-Droid_Quick_Start_Guide/ seems to provide the basic info about their process. In any case: 1k thanks for this app :-)

[NiciDieNase]

That's definitely on my Todo list. I might look into it after Congress.

[theScrabi]

If not yet done I'll do it tomorrow.

So I wrote the necessary meta file for fdroid. However when I try to build with fdroid build de.nicidienase.chaosflix it I get this error:

[katrinleinweber]

Hm :-( I'm not a developer, just an F-Droid user. I'm sorry. It looks like a configuration problem, but apart from trying what the message suggestions and googling the errors, I don't know how to approach this.

[theScrabi]

This error is not risen from fdroid. Its comming from gradle, because all that fdroid does is call gradle assemble.

[NiciDieNase]

The problem is:

Could not find de.nicidienase.chaosflix:common:1.3-SNAPSHOT.

That's the module that contains everything that is shared between the touch and leanback(TV) apps. So far this is not published to any repository, so gradle can't find it, if it hasn't been installed locally before building.

[theScrabi]

Hm I see. Have you considered to use jitpack. It will make a repository out of your githup repo.

[probonopd]

Unfortunately https://search.f-droid.org/?q=ChaosFlix is not showing anything. Hard to believe ;-/

[NiciDieNase]

New features (like chromecast-support) were a higher priority for me than more distribution-channels. Unfortunately, because chromecast-support requires play services, in it's current state I can't put the app on f-droid. But since there have been a few requests for f-droid now, it's quite likely that this will be one of the next tasks I'll take on.

[probonopd]

Maybe one could make a chaosflix-oss version without chromecast-support then?

[NiciDieNase]

That's the plan. To have an additional build-flavor without chromecast/google-play that can be put on f-droid. Just copying the codebase and removing play services would just be unmanagable in the long run.

In the meantime, you can still get the current build here on github: https://github.com/NiciDieNase/chaosflix/releases

[genofire]

Any update?

@NiciDieNase How does one build the Free Touch flavour?

This metadata:

Builds:
  - versionName: '0.5'
    versionCode: 1
    commit: '0.5'
    subdir: touch
    gradle:
      - free
    rm:
      - leanback
    prebuild:
      - sed -i -e '/appcenter/d' ../common/build.gradle
      - sed -i -e "s/versionfile/\.\.\/versionfile/" build.gradle
      - sed -i -e "s/, ':leanback'//" ../settings.gradle

Yields this:

DEBUG: Directory: build/de.nicidienase.chaosflix.touch/touch
DEBUG: > /home/strech/fdroidserver-0814/gradlew-fdroid assembleFreeRelease

[NiciDieNase]

The gradle task should be assembleProdFreeRelease. So propably just replace free with prodFree?

[licaon-kter]

Yes, but that fails with the Analytics error as shown above.

[NiciDieNase]

The issues above should be solved with the newest commits on develop. Also the build should work even when the appcenterId properties are not defined, they are not needed for the free build flavour anyways.

[AreYouLoco]

I am also waiting to get it from fdroid. Could I help somehow?

[NiciDieNase]

Started working on fdroid-metadata https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/6291

[IzzySoft]

@NiciDieNase just in case you've only missed the notifications (I know GitLab's sometimes do not arrive): your MR waits on response from you for 5+ months now and will be closed due to inactivity soon unless you "call back there".

[IzzySoft]

@NiciDieNase just to let you know that according to our Issue Cleanup Policy, the merge request now switches from "wait-for-submitter" to "candidate-to-close". If there is no activity on the MR or this issue in the next 4 weeks, we will close the MR to reduce the number of open issues.

[genofire]

I am really sad, that no updates of this issue happens round about a year.
