_hc | i agree 😄 | 15:44:29 |
_hc | one piece of that which we already have is the ability to add custom mirrors | 15:44:54 |
_hc | I'm specifically working right now on makind the mirror support work smoothly with offline WiFI AP boxes like LibraryBox/PirateBox | 15:45:26 |
_hc | also, getting mirrors on USB/SDCards into the releases | 15:46:47 |
_hc | the prototype is pretty slick, you just plug in a little USB OTG thumb drive, and F-Droid then gets it automatically from there, no internet or even local wifi needed | 15:47:39 |

Mathijs | I just read the Gdroid readme, and it claims that the F-droid client is no longer maintained:|
G-Droid is actively maintained (the F-Droid client is not any more)
| 00:42:36 |
Mathijs | maybe that should be fixed | 00:42:43 |

distopico | The people think (wrong) if an app don't generate release every day is not maintained | 02:17:18 |

izzy_ | Ah, that's what LjL referred to with this link: https://np.reddit.com/r/fdroid/comments/a6zokh/gdroid/ec0eiz5/?context=3 | 06:36:22 |
izzy_ | That guy claims a lot of stuff which isn't true, against better knowledge even. Disgracing. | 06:37:19 |

Mathijs | maybe we could just kindly ask him to rectify the readme | 10:35:35 |

Nico Alt | Mathijs: Worth a try. It evens says that in the app's description inside F-Droid:
G-Droid is actively maintained (the F-Droid client is not any more)
| 11:31:45 |
Mathijs | yeah, that's the line I would take most offence with | 11:32:04 |
Mathijs | (actually, I quoted it above 😉) | 11:32:20 |
_hc | I submitted a merge request | 12:03:08 |

Nico Alt | _hc: I admire your patience. | 14:17:56 |
Nico Alt | _hc: mirror-monitor is pretty cool! Here's another mirror that's missing from the list: https://fdroid.swedneck.xyz/fdroid/repo/ | 14:18:32 |
_hc | becoming a father of two boys is amazing way to find patience ;-) | 14:49:24 |
Mathijs | Just having the readme say 'g-droid is actively maintained' in the 'Additional features compared to F-Droid' still heavily suggests that the f-droid client isn't maintained | 16:11:28 |
Mathijs | so in that sense it doesn't really solve the problem | 16:12:06 |
