This adds the most basic level of support for including arbitrary files in an F-Droid repository. This is useful for things like including videos, ebooks, update.zip files for ROM updates, and more. The aim is to have this as generic as possible to keep it flexible for unforeseen uses. Code-wise, this is really just a first effort. This area of code has not been touched in a very long time, and the repo parsing is done in a giant function that is not easy to break apart. It should be broken up to more cleanly support arbitrary files. Also remove the TODO line, we've decided to keep the old permission format for now, at least until there is a major overhaul of the index data format. And the issue tracker the proper place for TODOs. |

F-Droid Server
Server for F-Droid, the Free Software repository system for Android.
The F-Droid server tools provide various scripts and tools that are used to maintain the main F-Droid application repository. You can use these same tools to create your own additional or alternative repository for publishing, or to assist in creating, testing and submitting metadata to the main repository.
For documentation, please see the docs directory.
Alternatively, visit https://f-droid.org/manual/.
What is F-Droid?
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
Installing
Note that only Python 3 is supported. We recommend version 3.4 or later.
The easiest way to install the fdroidserver
tools is on Ubuntu, Mint or other
Ubuntu based distributions, you can install using:
sudo apt-get install fdroidserver
For older Ubuntu releases or to get the latest version, you can get
fdroidserver
from the Guardian Project PPA (the signing key
fingerprint is 6B80 A842 07B3 0AC9 DEE2 35FE F50E ADDD 2234 F563
)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guardianproject/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fdroidserver
On OSX, fdroidserver
is available from third party package managers,
like Homebrew, MacPorts, and Fink:
brew install fdroidserver
For Arch-Linux is a package in the AUR available. If you have installed
yaourt
or something similiar, you can do:
yaourt -S fdroidserver
For any platform where Python's easy_install
is an option (e.g. OSX
or Cygwin, you can use it:
sudo easy_install fdroidserver
Python's pip
also works:
sudo pip3 install fdroidserver
The combination of pyvenv
and pip
is great for testing out the
latest versions of fdroidserver
. Using pip
, fdroidserver
can
even be installed straight from git. First, make sure you have
installed the python header files, venv and pip. They should be
included in your OS's default package manager or you can install them
via other mechanisms like Brew/dnf/pacman/emerge/Fink/MacPorts.
For Debian based distributions:
apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev
Then here's how to install:
git clone https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver.git
cd fdroidserver
pyvenv env/
source env/bin/activate
pip3 install -e .
python3 setup.py install
