 _hc | I'm mostly just trying to review it given that there is space now | 14:59:47 |
| _hc | community management is a moving target | 15:00:15 |
| _hc | Bubu: do you know what's eating the mirror disk space? we can't sustain +2GB a week | 15:02:42 |
| _hc | doh, sorry, I just rebooted matrix.f-droid.org, instead of mirror.f-droid.org. | 15:04:36 |
| _hc | the eclipsis control panel is not the clearest | 15:04:48 |
| _hc | requested that 100GB be added to the disk | 15:11:55 |

doh, sorry, I just rebooted matrix.f-droid.org, instead of mirror.f-droid.org. should be fine, but I'll check if everyting is still ok | 15:13:59 |
| Mathijs | yep, it's back up | 15:15:12 |
 justJanne | _hc: what do you think about the "letting communities provide tags/comments/reviews for apps" idea, similar to curators in steam? | 15:15:31 |
| _hc | justJanne: I don't know steam at all, but I think we should definitely make it easy discuss/tag apps in fdroid in social software | 15:18:11 |
| _hc | for example, there is the idea for having an automatic thread in forum.f-droid.org for every app in fdroid | 15:18:45 |
| _hc | but that would be more moderated | 15:18:51 |
| _hc | maybe packageName/appID tags make sense for the fediverse | 15:19:18 |
| _hc | for free form | 15:19:27 |
| _hc | the forum idea has been discussed quite a bit, my memory is there were no objections, just someone needs to implement it | 15:20:02 |
| _hc | we could also have bots that post fdroiddata changes, etc. to the forum | 15:21:02 |
 cdesai | _hc: re: common library - for now I went with https://gitlab.com/calyxos/platform_packages_apps_setupwizard/blob/fdroid-repo/src/org/calyxos/setupwizard/apps/InstallAppsActivity.java#L147 | 16:36:29 |
| cdesai | we only need to parse the repo once, it's only going to be a few apps (<15 right now), and we didn't want to depend on any external libraries as doing that for apps built with the system isn't the neatest | 16:36:57 |
| cdesai | (code is still WiP, will clean it up a bit and add comments later) | 16:38:07 |
| cdesai | I also grabbed https://gitlab.com/calyxos/platform_packages_apps_setupwizard/blob/fdroid-repo/src/org/calyxos/setupwizard/util/FDroidUtils.java#L68 from fdroidclient, made it work with JSONObject instead of Jason's @JSONProperty | 16:38:51 |

Bubu: do you know what's eating the mirror disk space? we can't sustain +2GB a week Fennec and osmand source archives are the main offenders. Though there are other big apps intermittently. | 17:51:45 |
| Bubu | You can use ncdu to get a good overview over disk space consumption. | 17:52:23 |
| _hc | yeah, the issue is the rate of increase | 17:53:03 |
| _hc | more than the current usage | 17:53:11 |
| Bubu | /repo doesn't increase much. /archive does a lot. | 17:54:45 |
| Bubu | More so because of source .tar.gz files than apks. | 17:55:15 |
| Bubu | But well, unless we somehow change how/were these things are stored/whether they are mirrored we have that much increase pretty much indefinitely. | 17:56:14 |
| _hc | just dug through the reddit on the blog post | 18:59:24 |
| _hc | could be a lot worse | 18:59:29 |
