It will make it a lot easier to manage the cache if we use the original file names, which often include the file version. This also changes the download process to be resumable if there is a partial file in the cache, and switches from calling wget on the command line to using the python libs 'requests' and 'clint' to provide a similar experience. While its not so important for this particular bit of code to use those libraries, I think those two will allow us to provide a better user experience throughout the whole of fdroidserver. In this case, it is already doing special tricks fetching the file size from the server before trying to download it. I suppose this code could instead check if the file exists, and if so, check the hash sum. I think that would be slower for most people since checking the hash on large files takes a noticeable about of time, while a HTTP HEAD request is pretty tiny. |

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
