Instead of each time deleting the whole local git-mirror repo, and
recreating it, this just deletes the .git/ dir, then lets the rsync in
_local_sync() handle deleting anything that should no longer be in the repo.
This option was not hooked up at all, and does not make sense as a command
line argument. It should just be a config.py item. In that case, the
presence of config.py marks the current dir as a repo, so there is no
longer a need to test for a dir called repo/ as a safety. This makes the
setup easier, since sync_from_localcopy() now creates repo/ for the user.
Since `fdroid server update` is the place where all uploads to servers
happens, it makes sense to also handle the git push for the binary
transparency log here instead of `fdroid btlog`
This makes make_index_v1() support `fdroid update --pretty`, then also uses
pretty output for the binary transparency logs, so that the git history has
nice, readable diffs between commits.
This complements the binary transparency logging that happens on the
server side !226. Anyone can set up an efficient tracker of any
F-Droid repo which stores all index files that it sees. It uses HEAD
requests and ETag checking to be as efficient as possible, so that
this can be automatically run at a frequent pace.
This was failing on environments that did not have any LANG or LC_* locale
variables set. This is a valid setup, and is common in headless setups, so
it needs to be handled.
This also adds a new pass of the test suite without the locale env vars set
so that this situation is also tests on gitlab-ci, not only gpjenkins.
The error this caused was:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 6-18: ordinal not in range(128)
In 6c2cf2ccdd, the names of some essential
data bits changed. If those names are not in the tmp/apkcache, then
`fdroid update` shouldn't crash but instead just ignore that cache entry.
tmp/apkcache should be deleted since the metadata version was bumped, but
I guess that does not always happen.
With the binary transparency log stored in git, it makes that more readable
and as small as possible if the index files are fully sorted. That will
reduce the differences between two copies of an index file to a bare
minimum.
If in the future we implement some kind of binary diff transfer, this will
also help there.
Google is making gradle automatically download Android SDK components that
are needed by the build, but not already present. We need to support that
since it would be a lot of work to fight it. Plus, since each build starts
from the fresh snapshot, it should not be such a big deal to let each
build install stuff during the process.
