F-Droid build of 4.x.x failed

[foss-]

Current version on F-Droid is 3.5.1 (119).

The build for 4.0.2 (125) however failed as per https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds/log/com.kunzisoft.keepass.libre/125#site-footer

Looking forward to the new version on F-Droid.

Linked to #1333

Would it make sense to reach out to F-Droid and ask about this? Maybe they encountered a similar situation with another app and have ideas how to tackle the issue?

[zer0fl0w]

after reading #1333, it means the fdroid-builds are suspended for now? -.-

[J-Jamet]

At the moment, the only possible solution would be to rewrite the entire history of the repo, but I don't really know what the side effects will be (loss of tags, links to commits etc) so I'll have to test with other cloned repos. It's not a trivial operation.

[zer0fl0w]

hopefully it works out in the end.

[J-Jamet]

At the moment I don't even have a procedure to solve the problem locally. No matter how many times I replace the git blob, the problem reappears, so I'd have to do a rebase, but I have no idea what the hashes of the commits affected by this problem are.

[zer0fl0w]

what a nightmare.

Now available on Izzy repo https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.kunzisoft.keepass.free for F-Droid users.
Users can temporarily switch to latest free version by simply export-importing App properties.

[J-Jamet]

I just added version 4.0.3 to github with the compilation of both versions (Free and Libre). You will normally be able to use Obtainium. I took the opportunity to update the wiki.

[zer0fl0w]

thanks a lot!

[danyael031]

There is a Merge Request for fdroid-bootstrap-buildserver titled "gitconfig: set some not critical fsck check to warn", which includes changes for the duplicateEntries error. Seems that it could solve the build issue.

[Uj947nXmRqV2nRaWshKtHzTvckUUpD]

will the libre version also be updated on fdroid? i prefer this version, as from my understanding it does not contain proprietary bits

[shuvashish76]

Neither of them contain proprietary bits. See FAQ for difference.
F-Droid will ofc get the updates when fixed/ready.

[rigrig]

That FAQ states that "The Libre version is the version provided to have no proprietary code", so it makes sense to assume the Free version does contain proprietary code.

[J-Jamet]

The Free version is intended for proprietary stores and may contain code that is not standardized or promotes non-standardized algorithms (e.g. Steam's TOTP, which is not standardized). There is currently no proprietary code, but this version may contain some.

The Libre version is guaranteed to contain only freely licensed libraries and algorithms.

[shuvashish76]

For Izzy users - their scanner didn't suggest any such results for now, Anti-Features will be added when necessary.

[linsui]

4.0.5 is available in F-Droid.

[vdbhb59]

4.0.5 just got successfully built on F-Droid.

[Uj947nXmRqV2nRaWshKtHzTvckUUpD]

got it. confirmed that it works fine

[J-Jamet]

Nice thank you all.
