TWIF submission thread

Mupdf Viewer got updated, I think fixing one(multiple?) security bug(s)?

Yep. CVE-2018-1000036, CVE-2018-1000037, CVE-2018-1000038, CVE-2018-1000039, and CVE-2018-1000040. See https://mupdf.com/news.html

Thanks. Couldn’t find it at first. Weird that they didn’t put it in the changelog which the repo points at. (https://git.ghostscript.com/?p=mupdf.git;a=blob_plain;f=CHANGES;hb=HEAD)

… or installed via IzzyOnDroid’s repo (which serves the Github release).

I’m still arguing with myself whether I should keep Netguard in my repo, now that the main reason (its not being up-to-date in the official repo) is gone.

@Izzy
How do you decide that an application is in your repo or not?
Do you change the code?
Do you add ads?

Besides, like with our RFP tracker, people can suggest apps I should add. In the “closed issues” you can see which "app-request"s were “accepted” and which “declined” (labels) to get a feeling of how the first link might look in everyday life.

No, I just pick the APKs created by the devs.

NOOO!!! Never ever I’d do such a thing. I hate trackers! Remember I’m a “privacy advocate”. Doing such an evil thing would destroy my reputation :scream:

@Izzy You can add my app: The Light :wink:

LOL As the title of that forum says: “Remember that requests for inclusions take place on GitLab.” Same for my repo – I’ve just mentioned the URL. Second: Looks like I can’t add it to my repo – I do not see any .apk file. Third the same: as the first link in my previous comment points out, I pick the APKs from Github. My updater cannot deal with GitLab, so I’d need a “fixed URL” here (i.e. one that ships the always latest APK and features a LastModified header).

But we get off-topic here. This is the “TWIF submission thread” – not the “app submission thread” :wink:

No need to duplicate it there I guess, less strain on your server. :wink:

Right you are, removed it. With the bot run Hans just started my repo will be half-emptied as soon as @Rudloff has caught up :rofl:

Unfortunately, I think I took care of most of the easy RFPs. The remaining apps are either blocked by upstream (no tagged release or proprietary dependencies) or hard to build (C or React Native apps). So I’m afraid I won’t be as effective in the following weeks :joy:

That’s bad news, @Rudloff – I was hoping to get rid of Bitwarden from my repo (grow too big for me), as it just checked out OK by the bot. Did you have a chance to peek into the “very clean ones” of todays big bot rally?

I had ~50 notifications from the bot today so I haven’t read them all.

So feel free to ping me like you did when you find an app that seems ready to be packaged.

Only 50? I got the double of that meanwhile :slight_smile: Want a list of those looking fine? Where should I place it (we are slightly off-topic here)? Guess a PM should fit…

Thanks a lot :blush:

@Coffee I uploaded my slides here: https://bubu1.eu/fdroid_talk.pdf

We can probably also add them to the f-droid website as an asset directly when you want to include them in the next twif.

@Bubu Yeah, it’d be great if we could mention that without causing your personal server to melt down. :wink:

That probably won’t happen but I’d like to not being responsible to keeping it under that very URL available forever :slight_smile:
