 jochensp | i.e. you can do git show $(git describe --long) | 16:57:19 |

the good thing with git describe --long is that git understands it, so we don't have to change other code (hopefully :D ) good point. I wasn't sure about that. | 16:59:43 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | in that case, I'd suggest using git describe --long --abbrev=100 | 17:00:22 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | * in that case, I'd suggest using git describe --long --abbrev=40 | 17:00:30 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | (not sure whether that could break when using shallow clones though) | 17:01:03 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | (or whether that's relevant) | 17:01:10 |

i.e. you can do git show $(git describe --long) yes, but it will show you the commit, instead of the tag :( | 17:03:43 |

So what time is our meeting today? 6 pm UTC? So late π΄ | 17:22:11 |
 fdroid-meeting-alert-bot | Ping @SylvieLorxu:matrix.org @eighthave:matrix.org @obfusk:matrix.org @uniq:matrix.org Izzy: Weekly meeting at https://meet.calyx.net/fdroid starting | 17:55:16 |
 Sylvia | Thanks bot I would've forgotten :) | 17:56:14 |
 _hc | Stencil: next week its at 11:30 UTC | 18:00:07 |
| _hc | εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ): we're on the meeting, if you'd like to join | 18:02:40 |
 cde | https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/1836 it would be nice to see it in this month before Android S releases. | 19:02:48 |
| cde | it'll allow f-droid to auto update certain apps which meet a criteria, and in the future f-droid itself once we target a newer API | 19:03:21 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | to briefly reiterate what I said in the meeting: my "speciality" is diagnosing (and ideally then also fixing) bugs (often in codebases and sometimes even languages I've never seen before). so please let me know if there's a bug (in any of the f-droid projects -- though I prefer languages that are not Java π
) you'd like me to look at πΈ | 20:07:36 |
 Izzy | εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ): the F-Droid client issue I mentioned is described here: https://github.com/k3b/intent-intercept/issues/14 | 20:21:04 |
| Izzy | Watch out for MuntashirAkon describing it. | 20:21:40 |
| Izzy | Starts around here: https://github.com/k3b/intent-intercept/issues/14#issuecomment-895698176 | 20:22:01 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | Izzy: I think the issue is that fdroidclient assigns a "priority" to repos. the last one added gets the highest priority. and thus provides the suggested version. | 21:18:38 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | (regardless of whether other repos have a higher (suggested) version or not) | 21:19:27 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/1887 | 21:25:38 |
| Izzy | εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ): yes, I've heard that before β but I never understood why that has effects like this. I *partly* understand it when it comes to new installations of the same version with different signatures; but otherwise the side effects IMHO aren't really worth it. If that's wanted at all, the user should have the option to re-order the priority. | 21:25:50 |
| Izzy | As pointed out, only the official client has that issue I've been told. So maybe we should reconsider this, or make it optional? | 21:26:47 |
| Izzy | But then, whom do I tell β neither of us is "the Java guy" ;) | 21:27:14 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | somewhat related: personally, I'd like to be able to allow/blocklist which apps a repo is allowed to provide. | 21:30:54 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | (that way I can't accidentally install a new app from the "wrong" repo) | 21:31:21 |
| Izzy | That can become tricky with larger repos, like F-Droid (3.5k+) or mine (720+ apps) β unless you want to go for whitelist mode (block all apps except those you want to have). | 22:05:55 |
| εΉΈη« (πππΎπ/πππΎπ) | Izzy: true. I think blocklist/allowlist (per repo) + block/allow newly added apps by default setting (per repo) would be nice. | 22:12:54 |
