These should be reasonably backwards compatible, and there is already
automake1.11 for those that need a version that old. As for cmake, there
are five apps that seem to it:
com.amaze.filemanager
org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu
org.navitproject.navit
org.yabause.android
org.videolan.vlc
It looks like VLC is the only app that is currently building and using
cmake in the most recent releases. Some of them used to use cmake, but no
longer.
This is to clean up the code for the introduction of a new index format.
This also makes it so that only repo/categories.txt is generated, and not
archive/categories.txt.
Currently, the only thing that I can find that reads categories.txt is the
wordpress plugin, e.g. wp-fdroid. And it only reads repo/categories.txt
not archive/categories.txt.
Sometimes, a build process requires newer versions of build tools than are
available in Debian/stable. Oftentimes, using the package straight from
Debian/testing works fine when a package is not available as a backport.
libtool 2.4.6 is needed for building VLC, so it is one example of this.
The preferences file sets up the apt "pinning" so that all updates are not
installed from testing, only the packages that are requested by adding
"/testing" after then package name.

In order to install a package from jessie-backports, apt-get has to be told
to get it from there rather than the main archive. It will not use
jessie-backports by default even if it is added as an apt source.

* New command `dscanner`, enables one to scan signed APKs with Drozer
* Drozer is a dynamic vulnerability scanner for Android
* Drozer runs in a emulator or on-device, this new `dscanner` command...
* starts a docker image with Drozer and the Android Emulator pre-installed,
* loads the signed APK into the emulator
* activates Drozer automated tests for the APK
* gathers the report output and places it next to the original APK
* The Drozer docker image can be:
* cached locally for re-use (just don't run --clean*)
* retrieved from dockerhub.com for more efficient runtime
* or be built from scratch (in the new "./docker" directory)
* New "Vulnerability Scanning" documentation section (run gendocs.sh)
add KnownVuln anti-feature, and other fixes
This is a bit of a random collection of things that I have added in the process of working on the drozer/scanner support, YAML support, etc. The only new things are:
* adding new AntiFeature for security issues: `KnownVuln`
* removing broken, incomplete XML metadata support
Everything else included are just code improvements. This also includes the first check for `KnownVuln`, which is a scanner to check whether custom OpenSSL binaries in apps are not old with known vulnerabilities. `KnownVuln` will then ultimately be used for things like the drozer scanner !187
See merge request !189
When making code changes related to the metadata parsing, it is useful to
see how the internal format has changed by seeing the differences in the
dump files. Those files are currently in the binary .pickle format. This
just straight converts them to YAML, which is a text format, so that normal
diff tools work to see changes.
The dump files are named .yaml instead of .yml since .yml is used for hand-
edited YAML files for fdroiddata/metadata, while these dump files here are
a human readable form of a Python pickle.
JSON and YAML are very closely related, so supporting both of them is
basically almost no extra work. Both are also closely related to how
Python works with dicts and pickles. XML is a very different beast, and its
not popular for this kind of thing anyway, so just purge it.
This scans all APKs for old versions of OpenSSL libraries that are known to
be vulnerable to issues, or fully unsupported.
This really should be implemented as a per-APK AntiFeature, so that it can
apply to any version that is vulnerable. Since AntiFeatures are currently
only per-App, this instead sets the AntiFeature only if the latest APK is
vulnerable.
Google also enforces this:
https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/6376725?hl=en
apk['antiFeatures'] has the first letter small, since all build fields
start with a lowercase letter. app.AntiFeatures has the first
uppercase since all App fields are that way.
Since `fdroid update` parses the output of aapt, and since aapt's output
format changes in non-compatible ways, test to make sure that the version
of aapt is new enough to prevent mystery stacktraces. This only prints a
warning since in many cases, the old version will work just fine.
