Just getting into the habit of adding tests to everything that I change...
Also, it should be useful to have an unsigned APK in the test collection,
since `fdroid update` should handle it gracefully and give a warning of
some kind.
The test for the help flag threw an error if there were 0 args, or if arg 1
was set to a space-separated list. The -z tests would fail if the arg was
set to a space-separated list.
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.

Update Vagrantfile and docs to clarify v1.4.3 is ok
Saw in the server docs that we were recommending 1.3.x and saying 1.4.x was broken. I've confirmed that 1.4.x works, and updated things accordingly. Higher version might work, but figured minimal change to build stuff was best :)
See merge request !24
By using jarsigner here, we can get rid of getsig.java, since the rest of
what getsig.java does can easily be handled in python. This simplifies
installation and deployment, and makes things work better cross-platform.
This also means that the fdroidserver Debian package no longer needs to
Build-Depends: on default-jdk, which makes builds in pbuilder run a lot
faster. :-)

Done after verifying that they match ones built using a recipe.
Everything in the metadata should be the same as normal, with the
addition of the Binaries: directive to specify where (with pattern
substitution) to get the binaries from.
Publishing only takes place if there is a proper match. (Which seems
very unlikely to be the case unless the exact same toolchain is used, so
I would imagine that unless the person building and signing the incoming
binaries uses fdroidserver to build them, probably the exact same
buildserver id, they will not match. But at least we have the
functionality to support that.)
rsync's --chmod works a bit oddly, it only affects the source files. To
make it set the destintation with the perms set in --chmod, the --perms
flag must also be included.
The timestamps in the .gz files are not used for anything, and they break
the reproducibility of the build. Giving --no-name means gzip will not
save the filename and timestamp in the gz file itself. When gunziping, the
current file name will be used, minus the .gz suffix.
This was causing a number of problems:
* it would spend lots of time sorting through the tmp folders of APKs
created by previous runs of this script
* it would include the bad test APKs in tests/ as normal APKs
