Reproducible Builds

[IzzySoft]

I've checked your app if its build is reproducible (see: Reproducible bulds, special client support and more in our repo), but while I was able to successfully generate the APK using ./gradlew assembleRelease, the differences to the one provided at your latest release were huge. Was that APK really built from the commit the tag points to? If so, did I miss some build options? And if not, which commit was it?

We'd appreciate if you could help making your build reproducible. We've prepared some hints on reproducible builds for that.

Looking forward to your reply!

@criticalAY any word? Thanks in advance!

[criticalAY]

Heya! sorry could not get to you earlier, I messed up the commit history earlier so that might be the reason

[IzzySoft]

Well, we can retry then with the next release if you give me a ping then. Please take a look at the hints on reproducible builds mentioned above, especially on the "first basic rule". That should help avoiding RB failures.

Let me know then when the next release is ready, and we check again with that, OK? Thanks!

[criticalAY]

Sure!

[IzzySoft]

Any ETA for "unmessing" yet? 😉

[IzzySoft]

@criticalAY Will we have a chance here, or shall I rather drop it? Seems like development rather went "dormant". No pressure, I just need to know where we stand here.
