F-Droid build recipe

[pserwylo]

Hi there,

Watched your lightning talk at LCA2016. Thought I'd send an F-Droid build recipe your way. There is a few things you'd need to address before submitting to https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata. You'll notice in the output below that it warns about "possible binaries". This is because there is no way to show that the fonts you are using are open source. Not quite sure about the binaries in the .png file though. If you are curious, there is usually people in #fdroid on freenode who can help with this.

FYI - if you are able to add git tags for each release in a consistent format (e.g. "v2.0.3") then F-Droid will periodically check for new updates and automatically build and release them (if you so choose).

Awesome! Thanks so much for that!

glyphicons-halflings-regular* is from Bootstrap, spritesheet*.png is from leaflet-draw, both of which are MIT licensed, so there should be no licensing issues.

Yup, I'd suspect as much. Unfortunately the fdroid tools are quite picky when looking at binaries, so you'll proably want to talk to krt or mvdan on #fdroid to ask what to do regrading these files.
