Inclusion to F-Droid main repository

[ClockGen]

Hello, I've been working on getting to build SDMain-SE on F-Droid infrastructure. The inclusion process is similar to your other app (Capod), which is already in F-Droid, however everything seems to be already covered in #755.

The app builds and verifies fine (it's in my private branch for now), but I need your permission to include it in F-Droid.

Another thing, can you please change the apk naming scheme and remove the commit hash suffix, so it'd look like this:
eu.darken.sdmse-v0.21.0-beta0-2100000-FOSS-BETA.apk
(same naming scheme as Capod). This is needed to allow F-Droid to retrieve your apk for reproducible builds.

I can also work on getting your other apps (permission pilot and octi) to F-Droid, if you want.

As far as I understood, it's not possible to include SD Maid 2/SE in the main F-Droid repo because it has the "anti-feature" NonFreeAssets.

Code is GPLv3, but not all assets are (see README.md). I currently have no plans to change that, sorry.

I'm fine with it just being available in @IzzySoft's repo:
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.darken.sdmse

FYI, there also appears to be an open PR here:
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/2533

Side-note: CAPod is included in F-Droid, but it has the same license-caveat/anti-feature. That might have been a mistake? Or I'm mistaken with the anti-feature requirements of the main repo 🤔

@d4rken NonFreeAssets is just an anti-feature, not a show-stopper, at F-Droid. the corresponding RFP you've linked was not rejected – it's just nobody working on it.

That said, I'm fine keeping your app in my repo 😄

[ClockGen]

As Izzy said, antifeatures don't prevent apps from being included in F-Droid.

t's just nobody working on it.

Well, I'm working on it, that's why I ask for permission to publish it in main repo. It currently builds and verifies fine, I just need the attached apk to be renamed (as I noted in the original issue post) so F-Droid can retrieve it for future updates.

Anti-Features are just for transparency they're not against F-Droid's inclusion policy.

@ClockGen @d4rken Instructions are mentioned here.

It's not nobody working on it. Everyone is waiting for the decision here. @d4rken What's you decision? Do you want us to include your app? :)
