fdroidserver.import_subcommand module¶

Extract application metadata from a source repository.

fdroidserver.import_subcommand.clone_to_tmp_dir(app: App, rev=None) → Path¶

Clone the source repository of an app to a temporary directory for further processing.

Parameters:

app: The App instance to clone the source of.

Returns:

tmp_dir: The (temporary) directory the apps source has been cloned into.

fdroidserver.import_subcommand.get_all_gradle_and_manifests(build_dir)¶

fdroidserver.import_subcommand.get_app_from_url(url: str) → App¶

Guess basic app metadata from the URL.

The URL must include a network hostname, unless it is an lp:, file:, or git/ssh URL. This throws ValueError on bad URLs to match urlparse().

Parameters:

url: The URL to look to look for app metadata at.

Returns:

app: App instance with the found metadata.

Raises:

FDroidException: If the VCS type could not be determined.
ValueError: If the URL is invalid.

fdroidserver.import_subcommand.get_gradle_subdir(build_dir, paths)¶: Get the subdir where the gradle build is based.

fdroidserver.import_subcommand.getrepofrompage(url: str) → tuple[Optional[str], str]¶

Get the repo type and address from the given web page.

The page is scanned in a rather naive manner for ‘git clone xxxx’, ‘hg clone xxxx’, etc, and when one of these is found it’s assumed that’s the information we want. Returns repotype, address, or None, reason

Parameters:

url: The url to look for repository information at.

Returns:

repotype_or_none: The found repository type or None if an error occured.
address_or_reason: The address to the found repository or the reason if an error occured.

fdroidserver.import_subcommand.handle_retree_error_on_windows(function, path, excinfo)¶: Python can’t remove a readonly file on Windows so chmod first.

fdroidserver.import_subcommand.main()¶

Extract app metadata and write it to a file.

The behaviour of this function is influenced by the configuration file as well as command line parameters.

Raises:

FDroidException: If the repository already has local metadata, no URL is specified and the current directory is not a Git repository, no application ID could be found, no Gradle project could be found or there is already metadata for the found application ID.
