Create F-Droid branch

[timusus]

In order to submit to F-Droid, Shuttle will need a special branch, with Crashlytics and Google Analytics removed.

The app will need to be reviewed to see if any other changes are required to make it F-Droid compliant.

This paves the way for #28

F-droid inclusion policy has a clause which may have significant in context of Shuttle

Binary dependencies such as JAR files have to be replaced by source-built versions or used from a trusted repository.

@GeoZac thanks. Apart from Crashlytics/Firebase which I'm happy to remove, I think the only binary dependency is jAudioTagger (which is open source). Not sure if I can confirm that it's a 'trusted repository' though.

If you're pulling it from Maven central or JCenter or similar that is probably fine.

[GeoZac]

@pschichtel The source repo is Jitpack-compliant repository ,but compilation throws up a bunch of proguard warnings.

Hi, I created a repo just for this purpose :)

Yep libraries of Maven will be accepted (and verified)

Any progress?

As someone who uses Shuttle+ daily, I'm looking forward to seeing Shuttle in F-Droid as well! What are steps that need to be taken before this can happen? I'd be happy to help.

So what's the status here? At F-Droid, your RFP is still pending 😉

If the corresponding Maven repo is trusted, see https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/blob/master/fdroidserver/scanner.py#L98

@timusus if you have an "intermediate" APK, please attach that to releases/ (best instead of the other, or name it e.g. app-foss-release.apk (to distinguish it from the other). I'd then pick that for my repo, so we can see the progress at least for the non-free libraries.

Congrats, it's in F-Droid!
