Prepare Lawnchair 11 for F-Droid support

[divadsn]

Before someone else opens it.

Continuing the discussion from #240 and #1157.

Leaving this here as a note:

The thing is that quickstep thing requires an open source prebuilt
That we can’t inline because it literally takes hours to build

Will probably contact someone from F-Droid to ask if they are willing to do that.

What is a "an open source prebuilt" ?

Also, no Tags?

[nyancrimew]

@licaon-kter The framework.jar and SystemUIShared.jar in the repository are built from AOSP sources (the modifications can be found in our organization) a build of the framework jar takes multiple hours and the SystemUI Shared library also at least 30 minutes, thus they are included as jars here

Tags will be created again for stable releases and possibly also for betas, though we'll have to first discuss this internally

[divadsn]

@licaon-kter Tags are for Play Store releases planned.

[licaon-kter]

Ok, right, so no F-Droid build anytime soon, if ever :(

[divadsn]

Why that? If F-Droid allows to use a prebuilt library like any other dependency?

[licaon-kter]

@divadsn All the other deps are either straight build from source at build time, or taken from a maven repo where only open-source artefacts are published.

What case is this?

[nyancrimew]

@licaon-kter We could obviously also push these Jars to a Maven repo if that somehow changes anything about the trust in them

[licaon-kter]

@deletescape Yes, that would be fine.

It needs to be one of these allowed maven repos: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/blob/master/fdroidserver/scanner.py#L99

[nyancrimew]

@licaon-kter Alright, we'll look into it on the weekend

[licaon-kter]

@divadsn Tags allow F-Droid to autoupdate on each release.

This is probably the wrong place to ask but when should we expect to see a v2 build on the Play Store? I was going to ask on #1462 but that's been locked. (If this is documented somewhere, or if there's a more appropriate forum to ask questions like this, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.)
