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
