 Nico Alt | _hc: Great to hear that you can continue paid work on F-Droid! | 19:07:26 |
| Nico Alt | That company also sounds interesting. Does there exist more information somewhere about it? | 19:08:12 |
 Marcus (old) | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org
if anyone is interested in joining in forming such a company, let us know o/ | 19:10:05 |
 _hc | forming a company? no docs yet, we have to make them. uniq and I have talked quite a bit about the idea, and how it should take shape | 19:13:39 |
| _hc | in Austrian corporations, a cooperative (Genossenschaft) or a public benefit corporation (Gemeinnutzige GmbH) | 19:14:20 |
| _hc | sound appealing | 19:14:24 |
| _hc | also, that localization grant has reawoken from the dead | 19:15:55 |
| _hc | looks like it'll happen after all | 19:16:04 |
| _hc | it got kaboshed by some incorporation issues | 19:16:28 |

looks like it'll happen after all Nice. | 19:16:32 |
| _hc | so the funder finally agreed to fund us via my Austrian company | 19:16:54 |

if anyone is interested in joining in forming such a company, let us know I'm interested, but not sure how much time I can throw at it. | 19:17:15 |
| _hc | so I get to do extra paperwork 😀 | 19:17:17 |
| Marcus (old) | _hc anyone looked into how the company thing would work with people not from Austria? | 19:17:25 |
| _hc | only a bit, but I don't remember what we discovered | 19:17:43 |
| Coffee | Nothing happened f-droid wise this week. December is a busy month with social obligations and things to arrange and stuff. | 19:18:45 |
| Marcus (old) | Ugh: https://blog.autsoft.hu/a-confusing-dependency/ | 19:23:03 |
| Marcus (old) | We touched jcenter/mavencentral on the summit. Not a pretty outcome... :-/ | 19:23:59 |
| Marcus (old) | We basically don't have enough data to even rebuild the packages there. Let alone reproduce. | 19:24:09 |
| _hc | Marcus (BubuIIC): ah, right any other news or reports from the reproducible builds summit? | 19:27:19 |
| _hc | .aar files would require the git repo, but my guess is that lots of Java JARs could be reproduced by building the source JARs | 19:31:58 |
| _hc | since its just Java files | 19:32:01 |
| Nico Alt | _hc: cooperative or public benefit corporation sounds good. Please CC me when appropriate, I can image joining one of those. | 19:32:03 |
| _hc | some java projects of course do convoluted things | 19:32:19 |
| Nico Alt | _hc: There was the idea of providing Repomaker as a Service. Could this be handled by that company? | 19:32:35 |
| _hc | sure | 19:32:44 |
| Nico Alt | Nice. | 19:33:04 |

.aar files would require the git repo, but my guess is that lots of Java JARs could be reproduced by building the source JARs These are missing the build instructions though. So rebuilding them might just not work and you are back to manually fixing everything. | 19:37:13 |
| _hc | right, but most Java .java files just compile straight to a .class with no tricks | 19:38:37 |

Marcus (BubuIIC): ah, right any other news or reports from the reproducible builds summit? Started packaging torbrowser | 19:39:01 |
