F-Droid about travel-mate HOT 20 CLOSED

I've opened an issue concerning the app at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/issues/1429 because I feel it's not presented in an ideal way in its F-Droid description. I would appreciate if the app's developers could weigh in on the stated concerns, as they would necessarily be the best-informed parties about the services the application makes use of and their status wrt tracking and freedom.

Please keep in mind that while my issue may sound like criticism of the application, the goal is just to have applications consistently described in F-Droid and let users know what to expect.

It looks good to me, I will try to work on it next week.

@Rudloff Sure! You can add a merge request for this project on FdroidData.

from travel-mate.

Great!

Would it be possible to tag releases?
This makes packaging a lot easier.

from travel-mate.

Hi @Rudloff ! Sure. Just specify the tag format you want me to create. Also, make the app auto update on Fdroid.

from travel-mate.

If we want to enable auto update, the easiest way is to have tags that match the version name of the app (e.g. 2.0 for the current version).

Let me know if you want me to do any other change.

Sorry, I just noticed you are using some Play Services libraries:

We need maps in our application. After all, this is a travel app!

from travel-mate.

If you are interested, there are some open-source alternatives to Google Maps like osmdroid.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice this dependency when I first had a look at your code. But I'm afraid this means we can't publish it on F-Droid.

from travel-mate.

Hi @Rudloff ! We have removed the usage of google maps, and replaced it with osmdroid.
Can you check if it can be published on f-droid now?

from travel-mate.

That is great!
It should be OK now. I will start working on packaging the app.

from travel-mate.

@Swati4star I created a build recipe for the app: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/3803
I just had to remove the http://repo.commonsware.com.s3.amazonaws.com repository (not sure how it is used).

Do you think it would be possible to add Git tags for 3.9.2 and future releases? It makes packaging updates a lot easier.

from travel-mate.

Hi @Rudloff
Sure, I'll add git tag for current & future releases as well.
https://github.com/project-travel-mate/Travel-Mate/releases/tag/3.9.2

from travel-mate.

I think, adding https to the url will solve the issue.

The gitlab build should pass after this commit, 25ed727

I have created a new release with the above commit included also.

from travel-mate.

Everything works correctly now, thanks!

from travel-mate.

Do share the fdroid link, when it is merged on gitlab.

It's on f-droid now: Travel Mate (A complete travel guide) - https://f-droid.org/app/io.github.project_travel_mate
