Release new features quickly about boogdroid HOT 29 CLOSED

I have long requested that the Google Play listing be taken down. Instead, I suggest installing BoogDroid through F-Droid.

https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=me.johnmh.boogdroid

from boogdroid.

Ok, can I ask why take down from google play?

from boogdroid.

Google Play is proprietary software employing DRM (Digital Restrictions Management).

from boogdroid.

Makes sense. What's the process to update f-droid? Can you manage to do yourself or we need to generate tags, doc, etc. I can help you with boring details if any

from boogdroid.

I don't know yet, I've made an issue on their repo.

from boogdroid.

https://f-droid.org/manual/fdroid.html to speed up things or wait for them to do it

from boogdroid.

Why not release on our own?

https://www.reddit.com/r/github/comments/2bwa1d/this_a_stupid_question_how_do_i_upload_my_apk/

or automatically with travis

from boogdroid.

That's exactly how it'll end up. The way I set it up with F-Droid it does it by Git tags.

Ok. Just commenting because they say it has a lag in releasing if you not provide all the metadata (Indeed this is not released yet in f-droid ) Let me know if you want me to add the apk on

https://github.com/JohnMHarrisJr/BoogDroid/releases/tag/v0.0.2

That will allow people to send feedback and get traction

from boogdroid.

If we want an apk there, I would set up a script for my local Jenkins server to upload a signed debug version of the application. We shouldn't be giving end user releases, only testing snapshots such as that.

I like the idea of create a complete workflow that covers release the apk. Travis is configured on repo so everyone forking has the complete lifecycle for the app.

Using your jenkins is for signed apps right? I feel it add a black box to the process, but do it and lets see how it goes

from boogdroid.

My Jenkins install is much less of a black box than Travic CI, which is not
free software.

from boogdroid.

I mean in terms of funcionality. If someone clone this repo he has no CI by default. if we use jenkins, he cannot perform same lifecycle as we do. That way he will be confident on proposing changes. That's the main idea.

Whenever you have it integrated send me a note to see it working, right?

from boogdroid.

@albfan If I do implement Jenkins integration, it will only build tags. I'm keeping Travis, because as bad as it is it already scales to forks too.

from boogdroid.

Any progress? I'm ok with google play so if you don't mind I can request a deploy there.

from boogdroid.

@albfan I was thinking that through, and I think it's best if we just upload a debug build with each tag.

from boogdroid.

I did it already

https://github.com/JohnMHarrisJr/BoogDroid/releases/tag/v0.0.2
https://github.com/albfan/BoogDroid/releases/tag/0.0.2b

and share on twitter and #6.

But I can see why we cannot publish it on google play and f-droid. Is it a time matter? We can upload a beta version on markets as many apps do:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en

from boogdroid.

F-Droid is now set to make a build from every tag I create. I have requested to have the Google Play entry removed from their database. Google Play is non-free DRM, and it is best if I am not seen to be possibly endorsing them in any way.

I want to update boogdroid on android. If you can share developer console with me let me know

from boogdroid.

from boogdroid.

Are you sure? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.johnmh.boogdroid&hl=es

Well let's stick on f-droid then. https://twitter.com/albfanjul/status/810946013292822528 I just want something aware of updates. Have to check when 0.0.3 release is done

from boogdroid.

I find no traction on f-droid so I release it again on google play.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.albfan.boogdroid

I need to change package to publish (as I don't have your keystore) So it would be hard to collaborate any further.

If you want me to change the name or something just tell me

from boogdroid.

What's wrong with F-Droid?

from boogdroid.

Nothing at all. I just:

• Target maximum audience
• Want people to install apps the way they use to
• Want to know statistics about app
• Deploy app myself

from boogdroid.

from boogdroid.

That means publish source code, right? https://github.com/albfan/BoogDroid If you have to old keystore I can stick to actual package name, but as you're against google play I think that would not happen.

If I need to change package name I think you can revoke my admin rights on your repo.

Waiting for your decision. My email is in my profile
