This Subject is a public consultation, please contribute your ideas or your opinion ! :slight_smile: When opening a RFP on Gitlab, we are already asking for Fastlane or Triple-T inside the upstream repo. After a discussion with @Izzy , we came to the conclusion that it could be a good idea to ask f…

[image] Poussinou: More decentralization yeah I don’t like the idea of doing Microsoft’s advertising for them. Doesn’t this centralize Github as the de-facto main payment gatekeeper? [image] Poussinou: Give back the control to the developer of the app Given the npm mishap from a while…

Are you sure you understood the topic correctly? It’s about a text file developers can put into their apps’ repos – be it on Github, GitLab, Codeberg, Sourceforge or wherever they host them. What we recognize is up to us to define. Should Github decide to not support a field anymore that does not me…

Yes and no, eg. Github could just say the file syntax is invalid and not enable “sponsors”. Yes, F-Droid can read and use all fields, but ultimately devs could be forced to remove fields as Github wishes.

That’s true – but doesn’t stop developers from using it with their Codeberg or Sourcehut repos. Or us from supporting a 3rd location Github ignores :stuck_out_tongue: Apart from that, while it’s possible, I think it’s rather unlikely. But right, who knows… Nevertheless: we support it, and we can su…

Does F-Droid really want to associate themselves this closely with something that is not a standardized file format and is tied to Microsoft (and their long history of abusive practices)? Why not, instead, just create your own file name and format that is defined by F-Droid and completely separate …

[image] Licaon_Kter: [image] Izzy: Codeberg or Sourcehut repos. Those are like 2 or 3 right? Around 5 in sr.ht, and 60 in Codeberg; the linked list is growing slowly, and imperfectly. But true, F-Droid is dependent on microsoft github, and should be tagged as such. :laughing:

[image] anon46495926: Around 5 in sr.ht, and 60 in Codeberg Those 2 places were just examples. There’re also those on GitLab (dot-com or self-hosted) and various other self-hosted places (e.g. using Gitea), NotABug, Gitee, SourceForge – and those poor souls left behind on Github are always fr…

Currently, FUNDING.yml is the only “standard”. It’s not an official standard, only a de-facto one, but if F-Droid would make its own standard then we have 2 standards. Unless something is really wrong with the first standard, I see no reason to do this. And in my view, FUNDING.yml is perfectly adequ…

not everything but everything they touch turns into their devil interest:money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face:

Asking for a FUNDING.yml for every new app included in F-Droid

You’re seeing this too, right?

Those are like 2 or 3 right? Known F/LOSS Development of F-Droid Apps
