This syncs up the field names between the fdroiddata .yml files, the keys
used in the implementation in fdroidserver, the index data format, and the
final data structures in fdroidclient. This makes it easier for devs to
follow, and makes the Jackson parsing library automatically handle
converting the data from the index file to Java instances.
This bumps the metadata version since the apkcache will have to be
discarded.
Here are the name changes:
* apkname --> apkName
* id --> packageName
* sha256 --> hash
* version --> versionName
* versioncode --> versionCode
tests/repo/index.xml was changed only to bump the metadata version
from 17 to 18.
Python encode/decode libs work directly with dicts, so the internal dict
can just be passed directly to any of these libs (pyyaml, pyjson, msgpack,
simplejson, etc). This still generates the exact same index.xml as before.
This converts the internal format for the repo timestamp to a datetime
instance, which can be easily converted to UNIX time in seconds for XML
and UNIX time in milliseconds for the new index formats. UNIX time in
milliseconds is directly serialized into a java.util.Date instance by
Jackson.
Since it is now possible to build and include arbitrary files, like OTA
update ZIP files, the update procedure needs to look for non-APK files that
match the packageName_versionCode pattern of fdroid-generated files.

This lets index-v1 be parsed directly into class instances because the
field/instance var names match exactly. The original index v0 element
must retain the 'lastupdated' name for backwards compatibility.
If a group of items are enclosed in {}, then that will be a Python set,
which does not preserve order. To preserve order, the data must be either
a tuple () or list [].
Since https://gitlab.com/fdroid/ci-test-app is a separate git repo, things
with incompatible changes could get out of sync. Therefore, this test
should specify which git commit is runs against.
For example, the .fdroid.yml file is still a moving target. Just now, the
keys had the spaces removed as part of this MR.
In the future, we should have better internal datatypes for this stuff,
i.e. instead of gradle: ['yes'] for True, actually use a boolean. For now,
make the YAML and JSON metadata produce the same internal data as .txt.
This requires manually running it. I suppose it would be possible to
include a snapshot of the dumped internal representation for each release,
then make the tests run automatically against that. Right now, the dump is
17megs of YAML. Seems large to include in this git repo.
Like with the App class in the commit before, this makes it a lot
easier to work with this data when converting between the internal
formats and external formats like YAML, JSON, MsgPack, protobuf, etc.
The one unfortunate thing here is Build.update. It becomes
dict.update(), which is a method not an attribute.
build.get('update') or build['update'] could be used, but that would
be oddly inconsistent. So instead the field is renamed to
'androidupdate', except for in the .txt v0 metadata files. This better
describes what field does anyway, since it runs `android update`.
Build.update is only referenced in two places right next to each other
for the ant builds, so this change still seems worthwhile.
Python is heavily based on its core data types, and dict is one of the more
important ones. Even classes are basically a wrapper around a dict. This
converts metadata.App to be a subclass of dict so it can behave like a dict
when being dumped and loaded. This makes its drastically easier to use
different data formats for build metadata and for sending data to the
client. This approach will ultimately mean we no longer have to maintain
custom parsing and dumping code.
This also means then that the YAML/JSON field names will not have spaces in
them, and they will match exactly what it used as the dict keys once the
data is parsed, as well as matching exactly the instance attribute names:
* CurrentVersion: 1.2.6
* app['CurrentVersion'] == '1.2.6'
* app.CurrentVersion == '1.2.6'

The original index.xml format needs to stay around for backwards
compatibility, but we shouldn't touch it anymore once the new format is in
place. This is a test to make sure `fdroid update` can still generate the
correct XML.
install_list and uninstall_list should be tuples or lists in order to
ensure that the order is preserved.
These tests also check that the added and lastupdated dates are
working correct, based on the dates in tests/stats/known_apks.txt. I
could see no useful way to test the timestamp, it is just hardcoded
using a regexp search-and-replace. Running these tests manually might
require deleting tmp/apkcache.
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 allows a source repo to include a complete metadata file so that it
can be built directly in place using `fdroid build`. If that app is then
included in fdroiddata, it will first load the source repo type and URL
from fdroiddata, then read .fdroid.yml if it exists, then include the rest
of the metadata as specified in fdroiddata, so that fdroiddata has
precedence over the metadata in the source code.
This lets `fdroid build` apps without having a whole fdroiddata setup, but
instead just directly in place in the source code. This also lets devs
optionallu maintain the fdroid metadata as part of their app, rather than
in fdroiddata without loosing any control. This should make it easier to
spread around the maintenance load.
Something like `gradle: yes` in YAML will be parsed as a boolean, since
'yes' is officially defined as a boolean true in YAML. For metadata fields
that need to be lists, this needs to be converted. Same goes for a single
string like `gradle: customFlavor`.
This makes sure there is a GPG signature on any file that is included in
the repo, including APKs, OBB, source tarballs, media files, OTA update
ZIPs, etc. Having a GPG signature is more important on non-APK files since
they mostly do not have any signature mechanism of their own.
This also adds basic tests of adding non-APK/OBB files to a repo with
`fdroid update`.

This makes it so that the final build product can be specified in output=
and it'll work no matter if its an APK or not. This was developed around
the case of building the OTA update.zip for the Privileged Extension. It
should work for any build process in theory but it has not yet been tested.

It is now possible for the server operator to specify lists of apps that
must be installed or deleted on the client (aka "push installs). If
the user has opted in, or the device is already setup to respond to
these requests, then fdroidclient will automatically install/delete
the packageNames listed. This is protected by the same signing key
as the app index metadata.
It generates single XML elements with the data set in the attributes. This
keeps the XML compact and easily extensible, e.g. for adding versionCode,
signingKey, etc as attributes:
<install packageName="com.fsck.k9"/>
<install packageName="at.bitfire.davdroid"/>
<delete packageName="com.facebook.orca"/>

`fdroid update` should be able to handle any valid filename (hopefully
aapt doesn't barf on them). To handle that, the environment where the
shell commands are run in needs to have a UTF-8 locale set. If LANG is
not set, things default to ASCII and UTF-8 filenames fail.
This also renames test APK with lots of Unicode chars as a test case.

Also, remove jdk7 as it will become unused. We added jdk8 for
retrolambda, and now that we will use jdk8 as the default, jdk7 is
unnecessary as retrolambda can work fine with just jdk8.
This removes it from the buildserver, and the new CI image also only has
jdk8 from jessie-backports.
Fixes#185.
This replaces the current default behavior of always forcing the
build_tools version and allows the user to set build-tools forcing in
config.py.

.java .gradle and XML files all can use any encoding. Most code is ASCII,
but authors' names, etc. can easily be non-ASCII. UTF-8 is by far the most
common file encoding. While UTF-8 is the default encoding inside the code
in Python 3, it still has to deal with the real world, so the encoding
needs to be explicitly set when reading and writing files. So this switches
fdroidserver to expect UTF-8 instead of ASCII when parsing these files. For
now, this commit means that we only support UTF-8 encoded *.java, pom.xml
or *.gradle files. Ideally, the code would detect the encoding and use the
actual one, but that's a lot more work, and its something that will not
happen often. We can cross that bridge when we come to it.
One approach, which is taken in the commit when possible, is to keep the
data as `bytes`, in which case the encoding doesn't matter.
This also fixes this crash when parsing gradle and maven files with
non-ASCII chars:

Though the YAML people recommend .yaml for the file extension, in Android
land it seems clear that .yml has won out:
* .travis.yml
* .gitlab-ci.yml
* .circle.yml
* Ansible main.yml
The start up sequence of processes that are based on the .fdroid.* metadata
is a bit different, so this ensures that the environment variables get
properly initialized in all cases.
This also creates a single function where the environment is set. Before
it was being set in multiple places across multiple files.
serverwebroot has long supported uploading to multiple servers, this bit of
metadata communicates those official mirrors to the client so that it can
automatically do something useful with that information.
