Enable auto-update mode for F-Droid repo

what it says on the tin!

changed title from Enable auto-update mode on F-Droid to Enable auto-update mode for F-Droid repo

please! ;)

What does it need here to get me involved?

Fix the FDroid pipeline system to supports submodules to works with the things described https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Build_Metadata_Reference/#Archive-Policy and here https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/3721 :)

Adapted script from Tobias and @anna (thank you!).

Hi Pierre, I'd love to see your script getting merged. Maybe @aberaud can continue working on it?

Script seems to be merged, but F-Droid still shows version 20190103 (144).

assigned to @sblin and unassigned @pduchemin

@anna yes, I need to link that to our pipelines.

@sblin When can you do that? The last version on F-Droid is already several months old. I wonder how long users will use Jami - especially when there are things that still feel to me like they're in development - if they can't always have a current version with the corresponding improvements. What do you think?

The script is here, everybody can generate a MR. And I already did that 2 weeks ago but we didn't do any release yet (since 22 days)

what kind of MR? where? and how do i make it? https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com/admin/projects/ring-client-android,branches says you have monthly releases. and https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com/c/ring-client-android/+/11469 tells me there are even more. it's a little bit confusing. google play says there is a march release while android is from january. maybe you developers can communicate things more clear? (what is called a new version and when will it be released)

Ok, so we generated a new release and the script was called. I still have some modifications to do in the script and our Jenkins to fully automate the process, but the first PR generated is here https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/4731

Thank you very much! What kind of modifications are you thinking of? Btw. hope you guys keep your Jenkins up to date ;) https://matrix.org/blog/2019/04/11/security-incident/

It's just some modifications for our Jenkins pipeline, like having more log for me. The jenkins was updated 3 days ago

added sprintto review label

Still a problem :(

Have to wait next release to fix branch update.

changed milestone to %Iteration 6

Thanks for keeping the ball rolling! So when I look at the milestone, the next release will be on May 8, 2019?

Iteration != releases

Just launched the android pipeline (failed last friday, we did a lot of changes and update on gerrit/jenkins). A MR should be submitted today to FDroid, this time with good details

mentioned in commit a1ec18e9

It'd be fine if there was a way to download apk directly from jami.net website, but there isn't.

Ok. Finally did it. Should be ok for all the next releases. I leave this issue open till the PR is not merged into fdroiddata

changed milestone to %Iteration 7

MR for fdroiddata merged. Jenkins correctly linked to generate a new MR for each releases. So I close this issue.

Merged doesn't mean anything at F-Droid. Still no current version of Jami, although you have already activated the auto-update. Patience seems to be the only thing that helps ;)

Read this. Have to wait for this to fix FDroid https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/issues/662

added sprintdone label and removed sprintto review label

closed

removed sprintdone label

woah, pretty nice! thank you very much!

Although the commits in the F-Droid data repo are constantly updated with each new Jami release, the revisions are not merged into the master anymore. https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/6460 So at the moment the auto-update does not work at all. The last version is already three months old again. Can you please do something about that? Google Play Store should stay no option for FLOSS Jami users!

reopened

@sblin @aberaud Can you please fix your configuration for the automatic F-Droid update?

changed milestone to %Iteration 18

Will be fixed by https://review.jami.net/c/ring-client-android/+/14498
