 izzy_ | Nico Alt: No specific date set for the article. And due to some internal stuff at Heise, I guess we've got a week more. Better safe than fast :) | 18:40:38 |
 Nico Alt | izzy_: That's great to hear! I finally fixed the flatpak, it now works seamlessly. Feel free to subscribe to the inclusion PR for Flathub: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/771 | 18:42:04 |
| izzy_ | Tovok7: "the flatpack and deb package are mainly meant for local single user deployments" is noted. That was how I planned to put it anyway – but good to have it explicit. | 18:42:36 |
| izzy_ | Nico Alt: "I fucking made it!" \o/ Great news! | 18:44:06 |
|  Tovok7 left the room. | 18:45:00 |
| izzy_ | Nico Alt: Do you thing the .deb has a good chance as well? I'd prefer trying that :) | 18:45:44 |
| izzy_ | subscription done :) | 18:47:09 |
 _hc | Coffee: doesn't look like it: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroid-website/merge_requests?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=merged | 18:53:53 |

Nico Alt: Do you thing the .deb has a good chance as well? I'd prefer trying that :) I already have a running .deb for Debian, but the problem is that I don't know where and how to publish it. _hc seems to prefer having .debs built for Ubuntu at Launchpad, which will probably also work for Debian, but as the build mechanism for Ubuntu differs from Debian's, I haven't got a .deb for Ubuntu so far. | 18:55:22 |
| _hc | how is the ubuntu build different? | 18:55:56 |
| Nico Alt | Being busy with other things, I also don't know if I can make it before your deadline of the article. | 18:56:01 |
| _hc | the build process doesn't have differences that I know of | 18:56:41 |
| _hc | maybe some policy differences | 18:56:47 |
| _hc | like Ubuntu allows only source package uploads | 18:56:53 |
| _hc | in meeting news, but non twif/public, uniq and I chatted with the company looking for fdroid services (see team@f-droid.org email thread) | 18:58:14 |
| Nico Alt | _hc: On Debian I can just run pdebuild with having repomaker built in a virtual environment. On Launchpad, you started working on a build without that virtual environment. | 18:58:15 |
| _hc | oh, well, both Debian and Ubuntu official builders wouldn't allow some kind of virtual env | 18:58:53 |

in meeting news, but non twif/public, uniq and I chatted with the company looking for fdroid services (see team@f-droid.org email thread) I might finally join team@ to not miss all those stuff... | 18:59:03 |

oh, well, both Debian and Ubuntu official builders wouldn't allow some kind of virtual env Which I can understand, but which also means additional work. | 18:59:29 |
| _hc | and both allow custom built binary packages of any kind | 18:59:04 |
| _hc | uniq is putting together a proposal for them | 18:59:28 |
| _hc | which reminded us that we need to form some kind of company to offer support contracts | 18:59:34 |
| _hc | if anyone is interested in joining in forming such a company, let us know | 18:59:38 |
| _hc | I've started working on a new contract based on Guardian Project's winnings from the Mozilla WINS competition. | 19:00:47 |
| _hc | I'll be working the next 1-2 months on fdroidclient, mostly focused on getting nearby/swap running smoothly | 19:00:55 |
| Nico Alt | _hc: Great to hear that you can continue paid work on F-Droid! | 19:07:26 |
| Nico Alt | That company also sounds interesting. Does there exist more information somewhere about it? | 19:08:12 |

if anyone is interested in joining in forming such a company, let us know o/ | 19:10:05 |
| _hc | forming a company? no docs yet, we have to make them. uniq and I have talked quite a bit about the idea, and how it should take shape | 19:13:39 |
| _hc | in Austrian corporations, a cooperative (Genossenschaft) or a public benefit corporation (Gemeinnutzige GmbH) | 19:14:20 |
