F-Droid Build Metadata #

This directory contains the F-Droid build metadata file ready for submission to the fdroiddata repository.

Submitting #

1. Fork fdroiddata on GitLab.

2. Clone your fork and create a branch named uk.ewancroft.inkwell.

3. Copy uk.ewancroft.inkwell.yml to metadata/uk.ewancroft.inkwell.yml in your fdroiddata clone.

4. Test the metadata:

   fdroid readmeta
   fdroid rewritemeta uk.ewancroft.inkwell
   fdroid lint uk.ewancroft.inkwell
   fdroid build uk.ewancroft.inkwell
   

5. Commit and push:

   git add metadata/uk.ewancroft.inkwell.yml
   git commit -m "New App: uk.ewancroft.inkwell"
   git push origin uk.ewancroft.inkwell
   

6. Open a merge request against fdroiddata on GitLab.

Prerequisites #

• TODO — not yet done: git tag v1.0.1 must be created and pushed to the main branch of the inkwell-android repo before this metadata can be submitted. It does not exist yet as of writing. uk.ewancroft.inkwell.yml's Builds.commit references v1.0.1 to match app/build.gradle.kts's versionName = "1.0.1" / versionCode = 2 — F-Droid's build system will fail to check out a nonexistent tag, so do not submit until the tag exists.
• Fastlane metadata is present in fastlane/metadata/android/en-GB/ (already in this repo).
• Confirmed all dependencies are FOSS — ./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath resolved cleanly with no Firebase/GMS. The only com.google.* packages present (Gson, Guava, Tink, Dagger/Hilt, Accompanist) are FOSS, Apache 2.0-licensed. Re-run this check before actually submitting if dependencies have changed since.
• ./gradlew assembleRelease builds cleanly (verified — see repo history), but there is no signingConfigs block in app/build.gradle.kts, so the release build is currently unsigned. F-Droid signs its own builds from source, so this is fine for F-Droid specifically — but confirm this is still true (or add one) before using the same build for any other signed-release channel.
