This breaks on newer plugin versions. Instead of complicating this logic
even further to support them, upstream devs should instead use gradle
configs that actually work.
If their build fails because of lint, it's theirs to fix, not ours.
docs: Add information on binary verification
I added a section about `Binaries:` metadata field. However, my information might be wrong or outdated, since I barely used it by now. Maybe even this field was left out on purpose...
See merge request !83
This allows us to run checks and fix types only on those that were
really modified. On our fdroiddata repo, with 2k apps with many unset
fields and flags, this reduces readmeta runtime from ~1.3s to ~1.1s.
Avoids typos, such as one I just found which was 'strsng' isntead of
'string'. The static analyzer can catch those if they are constants.
Comparing ints is also faster than strings, which adds up in readmeta.
Only keep lists in metadata files in the json format, since they don't
support multiline strings that are readable.
This makes the internal code easier, and a bit faster.
This simplifies usage, goes from
build['flag']
to
build.flag
Also makes static analyzers able to detect invalid attributes as the set
is now limited in the class definition.
As a bonus, setting of the default field values is now done in the
constructor, not separately and manually.
While at it, unify "build", "thisbuild", "info", "thisinfo", etc into
just "build".

app['Foo']

app.Foo

Don't log and exit in an inner metadata function. Handle it at a higher
level and do a proper exception. This also avoids unnecessary passing of
apps all around.
They all were stuck in repo/ for this reason. This resulted in apps that
were only in the archive to seem like they didn't have icons, when in
fact they did but were in the wrong dir.
