Release on F-Droid

[LoeschMaximilian]

It would be nice to relase the android builds on f-droid

[alxlg]

For it to happen, Logseq team needs to release the source code of the part that handles Sync client-side. I have no idea why they are keeping it closed source.

Thanks for your reminder.

It takes time to filter out old commits, which might contain secret keys or credentials for historical reasons.

So I just strip out old commits. Sorry for the inconvenience. Check it at https://github.com/logseq/rsapi

Regarding the Logseq Sync implementation, the underlying code is not confidential. You can find the Swift implementation of the iOS version on GitHub, which is open-source.

I have assigned myself to address this issue promptly. Additionally, I will work on getting Logseq listed on F-droid. You can track the progress of this task at Gitlab tracking issue: !13971

Marked as upstream since F-Droid seems to reject hand-written installation of Clojure in its building process:

• I'm not a Debian user. Debian's default clojure dpkg uses the ancient java -jar clojure.jar for clojure command instead of clojure-tools
• F-Droid rejects "download a script and run", which means Clojure installation script is not acceptable
• Hand-written install process is not acceptable because nodejs is F-droid's only exception

@andelf I solved the clojure issue and now we need to build rsapi. :)

I also build the rsapi from source. But you need to add the fastlane in this repo. See https://gitlab.com/snippets/1895688. @andelf

Looking at fastlane documentation. It appears that the tool is fairly simple to setup. The only complex part is getting it to auto-generate slick screenshots that convince users to install the app.

Is that the only thing holding up F-Droid offering? If so, I can work on getting fastlane working and submit a PR.

[linsui]

See https://gitlab.com/snippets/1895688. F-Droid only needs the metadata.

[linsui]

Looks like I have to do that myself... #10925

[linsui]

It's published.

[LoeschMaximilian]

i just tried it, and play protect blocked the app, because the developer was not recognized

sorry for the german screenshot.

This leads to failure of the installation process.

[linsui]

Please report the issue to Google. It's their problem.

[jtrees]

Hooray! Thanks everyone.

The issues about the website are here:

Maybe open one there, since there isn't one about F-droid.
