This keeps the numbers of names down to a minimum, and since the config
is placed right next to the script, this keeps tab completion working
nicely when the config file is in place.
The old file name is still supported.
Initially, the scanner used libmagic which used magic numbers in the file's
content to detect what kind of file it appears to be. Since that library isn't
available on all systems, we added support for two other libraries, mimetypes
amongst them.
The issue with mimetypes is that it only uses the file's extension, not its
actual content. So this ends in variable behaviour depending on what system
you're using fdroidserver on. For example, an executable binary without
extension would be ignored if mimetypes was being used.
We now drop all libraries - mimetypes too as it depends on the system's
mime.types file - and instead check extensions ourselves. On top of that, do
a simple binary content check to find binary executables that don't have an
extension.
The new in-house code without any dependencies doesn't add any new checks, so
no builds should break. The current checks still work:
% fdroid scanner app.openconnect:1029

YAML is a format that is quite similar to the .txt format, but is a
widespread standard that has editing modes in popular editors. It is also
easily parsable in python.
The .pickle for testing is a lightly edited version of the real metadata
for org.videolan.vlc:

Instead of trying to guess which absolute path and .egg name
everything will be installed into, just use a relative path and the
setup process will do the right thing (so far, at least).
There are two forms of python-magic, one included in libmagic that is
default on Debian, and another Python wrapper for libmagic that is
called 'python-magic' on pypi. Those both rely on the compiled binary
library libmagic. For platforms without good package management, fallback
to using the built-in 'mimetypes' library if 'magic' is not available.
This supports OSX, Windows, and BSD.
To make the core tools portable to platforms like Mac OS X and Windows,
remove the dependency on wget and instead use Python Requests, which
probably has better performance anyway.
PIL is the old standard Python Imaging. Pillow is a fork where development
is actually continuing. It seems that all the distros are also switching
from PIL to Pillow, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, brew, MacPorts, etc.
This makes the AWS S3 setup dead simple: just put in a awsbucket name of
your choosing, set the AWS credentials, and it'll do the rest, whether the
bucket exists already or not. S3 buckets are trivial to delete too, in
case of error: `s3cmd rb s3://mybadbucketname`.
apache-libcloud enables uploading to basically any cloud storage service.
This is the first implementation that allows `fdroid server` to push a repo
up to a AWS S3 'bucket'. Supporting other cloud storage services should
mostly be a matter of finding the libcloud "Provider" and setting the
access creditials.

This assumes that the smartcard is already setup with a signing key. init
does not generate a key on the smartcard, and skips genkey() if things are
configured to use a smartcard.
This also does not touch APK signing because that is a much more elaborate
question, since each app is signed by its own key.
setuptools wants to stick any relative install path in data_files into the
.egg package. Things are not setup to use the egg now. We might want to
consider using sticking files into the egg via pkg_resource in the future.
This also makes the file layout in git basically the same as the installed
file layout, using an examples/ dir. I'm not sure if config.buildserver.py
is an example conf file, or a conf file that is actually in use, so I did
not move it.
This means they'll automatically be installed in the right place by the
packaging processes of various UNIX distros, and then that makes it easy
for the upcoming 'fdroid init' to find them.
With this setup.py, its possible to install the required packages using:
pip install -e .
The Debian packaging will also automatically get the dependencies from
install_requires. This does not handle the generation of the docs at all.
I have not found a straightforward way to include running ./gendocs.sh in
setup.py, but its easy to run in the Debian packaging.
