We have a new fdroid checkupdates job running in gitlab CI. This means the output and failures of this part of the F-Droid build cycle are now easily viewable for contributors.
The job currently runs twice three four times daily and taking about 70-90 min to complete.
If this proves stable enough we can increase the frequency. For now this is already a solid improvement over once every 2-3 days we had before.
The link to the last triggered pipeline can always be found here:
Here is what a completed run looks like:
The job is split into 10 batches of 350 apps, running in parallel. You’ll have to click around a bit to find the output for a specific appid, they go alphabetically from top to bottom.
