@node Importing Applications
@chapter Importing Applications
To help with starting work on including a new application, @code{fdroid import}
will take a URL and optionally some other parameters, and attempt to construct
as much information as possible by analysing the source code. Basic usage is:
@example
./fdroid import --url=http://address.of.project
@end example
For this to work, the URL must point to a project format that the script
understands. Currently this is limited to one of the following:
@enumerate
@item
Gitorious - @code{https://gitorious.org/PROJECTNAME/REPONAME}
@item
Github - @code{https://github.com/USER/PROJECT}
@item
Google Code - @code{http://code.google.com/p/PROJECT/}
(supports git, svn and hg repos)
@end enumerate
Depending on the project type, more or less information may be gathered. For
example, the license will be retrieved from a Google Code project, but not a
GitHub one.
If the import is successful, a metadata file will be created. You will need to
edit this further to check the information, and fill in the blanks.
If it fails, you'll be told why. If it got as far as retrieving the source
code, you can inspect it further by looking in @code{tmp/importer} where a full
checkout will exist.
A frequent cause of initial failure is that the project directory is actually
a subdirectory in the repository. In this case, run the importer again using
the @code{--subdir} option to tell it where. It will not attempt to determine
this automatically, since there may be several options.
