Re: Building for Android and F-Droid

[Andreas Enge]

Hello,

if I remember correctly, the last time I tried I could not use our icedtea
package to build android apps, so I gave up looking into anything android
like for guix. Did this work for you?

Well, building apks actually works :-) (I have not tested your code,
though).

fdroid is building it's own build-server VM (this is what
fdroidbuildserver does). And the apks are build in there. For actually
building an apk you'll need the fdroiddata package (which to have
package for guix is quite useless IMHO). See the manual at
 and my updates to the manual
.

So the vision I expressed in my first posting on this thread is: Change
the fdroid-server to use GuixSD (in a container?) instead of a VM :-)

If anyone wants to play around with f-droid, I have it packaged in my
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, waiting to be tested more before breaking it down
into patches and submitting it. Of course currently building apks
doesn't work, and I haven't really tested much of the functionality yet.

Given the current state of our support for Java I’d say we mostly need
more Java packages in Guix.  A first big step would be to package enough
to be able to build Maven from source (no cheating).

You are indeed correct that it would be a lot of work, but it is
certainly possible and sounds like it would be a big improvement over
the status quo.  I would also like to see this happen because I am an
F-Droid user.

Does anyone know what we are missing to be able to package android
tools?  I would like to be able to use the android debug bridge again
to shell into my phone. :)

Building for Android and F-Droid

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hello,

I just want to share an idea I had:

Recently I was involved in packaging a app for f-droid. The f-droid
build system consists of 1) a virtual machine which get cleaned up after
each build. and 2) meta-data descriptions of each package. The meta-data
includes build instructions and is basically a ini-like file. For a
simple examples see [1] and for a complex one see [2].

One of f-droid's goals is reproducible build. De-facto they fail on
this, given the current set up since they update the virtual machine to
some current state.

In got the idea to make f-droid use guix as a base. Of course, this
would be a lot of work, and I do not expect this to happen any time
soon. We have quite a lot of work to do on the guix-side, like building
the Android tools, implement maven and graddle builds, etc.

As said: just wanted to share this idea,
