They announced, that they'll force uploading of AAB instead of APK; I hope they don't drop APKs … Yeah it's true | 12:27:11 |
| proletarius101 | And they've announced this earlier this year | 12:27:21 |
| @freenode_djBRDF:matrix.org joined the room. | 12:28:53 |

And they've announced this earlier this year Forcing AAB or dropping APK? 😟 | 12:29:02 |
| proletarius101 | But probably they won't drop the apk format, since so many apps in China are not delivered by Google Play | 12:29:09 |
| proletarius101 | So are the gov apps | 12:29:14 |
 cdesai | you can still get a universal apk out of an aab | 12:29:16 |
| cdesai | https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/bundletool "--mode=universal" | 12:29:59 |
 _hc | seems like we should get bundletool into Debian then, to help support the APK ecosystem | 12:30:53 |
| cdesai | I'm pretty sure we talked about this at some point, maybe it was missing a dependency? | 12:31:15 |
| cdesai | https://github.com/google/bundletool | 12:31:31 |
| _hc | yeah, we talked about it. It could be that kotlin just sucked all our time | 12:31:34 |
| cdesai | it needs aapt2 but that's easy | 12:31:58 |

seems like we should get bundletool into Debian then, to help support the APK ecosystem Talking about debian, since sometimes we may want to package our tools into the repo, does debian stable receives new packages? | 12:32:21 |
| _hc | I thought aapt2 was already packaged | 12:32:24 |
| cdesai | yeah | 12:32:28 |
| _hc | Debian/stable does not get new packages, but new packages can come via backports, PPAs, other repos, direct install, etc. | 12:33:00 |
| proletarius101 | And, regarding migrating to debian buster, https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/issues/754#note_564655146, any updates on the migration process? | 12:33:17 |
| proletarius101 | stretch/backports' packages are old enough, though... | 12:34:06 |
| _hc | proletarius101: sorry, I have a backlog on gitlab pings, so I didn't see your message. If you're waiting for me to do something, like I'm blocking your progress, then please ping me here | 12:35:08 |
| _hc | I'm looking into the VM now | 12:35:32 |
| proletarius101 | thanks | 12:35:36 |
| _hc | I should be able to sort it out today | 12:35:41 |
