Publish the compiled native library to a gradle repository

Publishing the library artifacts to a gradle repository would allow people to create love2d android apps with minimal work . It would hopefully also lower your burden since fewer less-experienced game developers would ask for your help here.

I am not familiar with jcenter and how it would make love2d android apps simpler and mark this as 'wontfix' for now.

However, feel free to elaborate by commenting here.

Hey @IzzySoft, do you have any idea what the path is to add the love2d app to f-droid? And in the meantime, would you be willing to publish it on your repo from the apk releases on https://github.com/love2d/love/releases/? Thanks!

[IzzySoft]

My repo doesn't accept games. And a good start would be opening a Request for Packaging.

@IzzySoft Cool, thanks. (FWIW, and I realize this is grasping at straws for little benefit, love2d is a generic-ish 2d engine which can be used for more than just games, but it is certainly not a game in itself).

@MikuAuahDark I hope it's okay with you/love2d team for the app to be published on f-droid? It looks like explicit consent from the authors is a soft-requirement for publishing on f-droid. Thank you!

Actually I had intention to distribute to F-droid but on its current state it's just less useful. If you managed it please pick the ones with microphone support when possible. Pada tanggal Kam, 18 Nov 2021 05.05, Awal Garg ***@***.***> menulis:

Thanks you @MikuAuahDark, I've filed this RFP ticket on the f-droid tracker https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/1920.

[IzzySoft]

If you managed it please pick the ones with microphone support when possible.

If those have a specific build flavor, just mention that in the RFP so it can/will be used by the build recipe later.

[MikuAuahDark]

The one with microphone support is the "normal" flavor, thanks.

@MikuAuahDark The fdroid bot has generated a report with some issues https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/1920#note_737306189. Looks like the main issues are fastlane setup and the precompiled binaries from sdl, luajit and libmpg.

I think moving this conversation somewhere else is a good idea. #220
