Testing local fdroidserver with update

Apps
1

I’m following the guide at [1] to test the build locally. I run the update check and see the latest version, but when I run the build it seems to select the base version in the fdroiddata yml. Do I need to update the Builds section of the yml?

fdroid checkupdates --allow-dirty com.bringyour.network # detects latest version!
fdroid build com.bringyour.network # uses the Builds version in fdroiddata/metadata/com.bringyour.network.yml

Run with --verbose and attach output

You need to add --auto to add the new version.

Thanks that worked. It updated my local metadata/com.bringyour.network.yml. Do I need to submit a merge request for the updated version?

With the updated metadata/com.bringyour.network.yml, build works on the latest version.

It’s on autoupdate. You don’t need to do that manually.
