Version available on F-Droid behind Play Store

[billie80]

I am using Omni-Notes from F-Droid. Is there any reason versions newer than 5.5.2 are not available there?

[federicoiosue]

Related to #669

[billie80]

Okay thanks. I already found this issue however it was not clear to me how the F-Droid build is concerned.

[federicoiosue]

Because their build pipeline fails for the same reason. It seems that I'm currently the one able to build the code, maybe for some historical dependencies available locally on my machine

@federicoiosue Umm, what am I missing: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1946400 ?

Now the build should work, but I've some problems trying to run the complete test suite. Furthermore the current version will have to be release as a Beta before proceeding with the stable version for everyone so that will only be available for Play Store users.

Specifically, the problem with their pipeline is due to the fact that the code they're trying compiling is the one from the master branch, that is still not updated with the modifications above.

It's tagged as 6.0.5 hence I guessed (wrong) that it's ok to build.

Will retry with HEAD

@federicoiosue Looks like it builds fine from HEAD, do @ -me when 6.1.0 is Tagged ;)

[uraza]

The app looks really nice. I got here from F-Droid, but the version there is two years old. Will it be updated on F-Droid with the next release, like the comment above suggests? Thanks a lot for your work!

[federicoiosue]

Yep, the latest code (version 6.1.0) should compile correctly on F-Droid pipeline. When tests will have full success it will be released both on Play Store and F-Droid platforms. And as GitHub release too, of course.

[federicoiosue]

Reopening as reminder for 6.1.0 rollout

[licaon-kter]

Builds fine, some questions for https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/bf150c39d25e0eecbe925faf0dee5b8f19f8bfbeb7e4693e9072093780bdfb78/details

How are these implemented in a FOSS way or just put in AndroidManifest for the non-FOSS flavor?

com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES com.google.android.apps.photos.permission.GOOGLE_PHOTOS

Using com.github.federicoiosue:smart-location-lib these are still named like this?

io.nlopez.smartlocation.activity.providers.ActivityGooglePlayServicesProvider$ActivityRecognitionService io.nlopez.smartlocation.geofencing.providers.GeofencingGooglePlayServicesProvider$GeofencingService io.nlopez.smartlocation.geocoding.providers.AndroidGeocodingProvider$AndroidGeocodingService

The intent com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER is consumed by org.piwik.sdk.InstallReferrerReceiver ? IIRC the whole referrer stuff was not FOSS

And a crash on attach location:

In app, Settings Privacy

• error reporting in ON by default, this mean for F-Droid we'd add AntiFeature: Tracking
• share anonymous data ON by default, same as above
• where's the data sent? That might need another NonFreeNet
• ACRA bug reporting works how? Auto-submission? email?

[federicoiosue]

About Setting Privacy:

• It's fine ATM, I'll eventually add a prompt for opt-in right into the app tour
• Same as above
• Data sent are stored on https://www.tracepot.com/ for crash analysis and Piwik (self hosted instance) for usage analytics
• Yes, ACRA library is sending data automatically on crash as long as user left enabled error reporting

[federicoiosue]

com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES com.google.android.apps.photos.permission.GOOGLE_PHOTOS

There is no differentiation between flavors talking about declared permissions, but I do actually only explicitly declare GOOGLE_PHOTOS's one, maybe the others are coming from dependencies, I never checked for this.

Talking about piwik's intent: I created this library to manage in a FOSS way analytics, nothing changed from previously F-Droid released build, also dependencies versions are the same on that side.

Is this the reason why F-Droid version is from 09/2018? Was wondering if the project is dead but it seem more this issue?

The latter one

[Dunedan]

Any update on this? I'd love to see an up-to-date Omni-Notes version on F-Droid.

[licaon-kter]

@federicoiosue so https://github.com/federicoiosue/Omni-Notes/commit/6a300da871d360298364a86e873d5ce43e767e04 will finally fix this?

6.2.0(302) builds fine here, but still has Google Permissions: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/21a6cd504ccdcb5967e6d031280eac86b111bbb0acb502cfe49061d11cd0600b/details

[federicoiosue]

I'm testing with removed com.google.android.apps.photos.permission.GOOGLE_PHOTOS and android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (no more needed due to migration to scoped storage).

If everything works as expected I'll prepare a release and a pull request to F-Droid

[smaragdus]

Any news about the F-Droid release?

[federicoiosue]

The ACRA backend I was using discontinued so I'm trying to replace it to continue having something that collects anonymous crash reports to analyze app's errors. As soon as ready I'll release the new 6.2.0 version for both Play Store and F-Droid.

[licaon-kter]

Bugsnag?

[federicoiosue]

Bugsnag?

Never heard of it, it seems nice, but I'm exploring the option to use my own Acrarium backend instance for ACRA to keep full control. It should fit FOSS approach, I'd not have any cap of reports (staying on free tier is mandatory for this project) and I'd be able to provide a public access to guests to enforce transparency.

[federicoiosue]

Here an example (still missing SSL) using guest both as username and password @licaon-kter

[licaon-kter]

Looks nice, as usual, hope it's opt-in ;)

[federicoiosue]

Yes, it depends from Settings->Privacy->Error Reporting flag

[linsui]

The short_description is too long. F-Droid only take 80 characters so that it's truncated. Could you please make it shorter?

[federicoiosue]

@linsui thanks for pointing out
