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 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`.

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"/>

This reverts commit 82d09560c6.
It doesn't work - the setup scripts are expecting a ".bin" file (which
is apparently a 7z archive), but what's actually got is a ".zip".

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.

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.

For a bit repo like f-droid.org, it makes sense to standardize on a single
format for metadata files. This adds support for enforcing a single data
format, or a reduced set of data formats. So f-droid.org would run like
this if it changed to YAML:
accepted_formats = ['txt', 'yaml']
Then once everything was converted to YAML, it could look like this:
accepted_formats = ['yaml']
For devs that want to build and distribute nightly builds of their apps
using the fdroid tools. The core idea here is to make the fdroidserver
tool suite the single set of tools for all types of builds and releases.
That will hopefully drive more free software developers to make f-droid.org
an core channel for official releases.
By not setting sdk_path when /usr/bin/aapt is found, sdk_path then defaults
to $ANDROID_HOME when its used. Since in this case, aapt will be used from
the system path, using aapt entirely ignores sdk_path. If the user runs
`fdroid build` in this setup, sdk_path will be $ANDROID_HOME, so it should
check the env vars for it, but maybe that doesn't actually work like that
yet.
I wrote up the feature to automatically generate symlinks with a constant name
that points to the current release version. I have it on by default, with a
*config.py* option to turn it off. There is also an option to set where the
symlink name comes from which defaults to app['Name'] i.e. F-Droid.apk, but
can easily be set to app['id'], i.e. _org.fdroid.fdroid.apk_. I think the best
place for the symlinks is in the root of the repo, so like
https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk or https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/ChatSecure.apk
For the case of the current FDroid static link https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk
it can just be a symlink to the generated one (https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk
or https://f-droid.org/org.fdroid.fdroid.apk). Right now, this feature is all
or nothing, meaning it generates symlinks for all apps in the repo, or none. I
can’t think of any problems that this might cause since its only symlinks, so
the amount of disk space is tiny. Also, I think it would be useful for having
an easy “Download this app” button on each app’s page on the “Browse” view. As
long as this button is less prominent than the “Download F-Droid” button, and
it is clear that it is better to use the FDroid app than doing direct
downloads. For the f-droid.org repo, the symlinks should probably be based on
app['id'] to prevent name conflicts.

This gives us flexibility in how the blocks of text can be formatted in
config.py, but also provides a more useful format for displaying since the
client can decide where to wrap the text.
