 _hc | Marcus (BubuIIC): I was posting as fdroid-contributor, maybe someone else? | 08:45:40 |
| _hc | also | 08:45:43 |
|  dkanada joined the room. | 08:45:52 |
| _hc | izzy: Marcus (BubuIIC) FYI, I think the unprotect/protect stuff would then be logged | 08:48:12 |
| _hc | seems like we need to do some doc maintenance on all the RB pages, for example https://jenkins.debian.net/userContent/todo.html#_reproducible_fdroid | 08:48:12 |
| dkanada | _hc can fdroid build cordova apps, and if so, what are the requirements? | 08:49:23 |
|  e3 joined the room. | 08:50:24 |
| _hc | dkanada: I've never used cordova, so I don't know. I do know you'll need to install the cordova bits in the metadata file. | 08:50:45 |
| _hc | perhaps there is already an app doing it | 08:50:52 |
| _hc | there is no standard cordova setup in fdroid | 08:51:03 |
| _hc | izzy: regarding OpenContacts, I think forking an app is the right place for customization. I don't think we should be doing customization in the builds. | 08:51:14 |
| _hc | sounds like helping upstream do app detection would be the best solution there | 08:51:29 |
| _hc | I have lots of examples of how, if you need some | 08:51:47 |

| dkanada | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org
there is no standard cordova setup in fdroid dang | 09:05:10 |
| dkanada | its actually managed by npm, not sure it can be handled through gradle | 09:05:29 |
| _hc | honestly, that probably makes it easier to build cordova apps, rarther than harder | 09:05:19 |
| dkanada | really? | 09:05:42 |
| _hc | yeah, you can build it with whatever script/process is needed | 09:05:47 |
| _hc | and download the best version of Cordova in the build process | 09:05:58 |
| dkanada | sweet okay thats good to hear | 09:06:17 |
| dkanada | working on a media server right now and the android client is making progress, I would love to get it on fdroid as soon as the pesky jars are removed | 09:06:58 |
| _hc | I'd try this:
$ cd fdroiddata
$ grep -i cordova metadata/*.txt metadata/*.yml
| 09:06:52 |
| dkanada | still need to build libvlc from source which is going to be a pain | 09:07:35 |
 Marcus (old) | dkanada: rudloff has been building quite a few cordova apps I think ,maybe ping him in the fdroiddata tracker | 09:32:12 |
 izzy | _hc: I'd guess so, yes. | 09:37:33 |
| dkanada | thanks, I'll message him when the app is stable | 09:38:37 |
| izzy | _hc: regarding Open Contacts, they're going to change that, see d#1498 | 09:40:32 |
