Andor's Trail v0.7.13 released!

[Antison]

Any idea when new version will be available?

When we are done building it. We don't commit to release dates.

By the way, what about releases with translation-only changes? I've done some new dialogs on weblate-RU, but not 100% yet...

[Nut]

Indeed, I already had in mind to create such a translation release between releases with content, when there are enough new translations added.

F-Droid release is on the way just waiting on them: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/ ... 7a3bdf7ec8

Someone on the dev team mentioned they had some build server issues I think?

Yeah that's right, but they were solved around Feb 16 acc. to an earlier post in this thread. So I thought I ask again
Thanks anyway!

Yeah, I should not have posted that optimistically - sorry! I'd been guessing that the new version would be picked up quickly after we got the notice that F-Droid's build issues were fixed (this thread).

The F-Droid build process is somewhat opaque. As I understand it, it works like this:

1. An app developer pushes a release tag to their app source code repository.
2. F-Droid's checkupdates bot runs an automated scan to find new release tags, and updates the app's F-Droid metadata file accordingly.
3. F-Droid's build server reads updated metadata files and generates the unsigned packaged release.
4. Built packages are taken to an offline computer to be signed by F-Droid's key.
5. Signed packages are brought back online and deployed to F-Droid's public repository.

Usually (as with the last 5 releases of AT), the dev team here controls step 1, and then F-Droid crunches through steps 2-5 within 48 hours or so. However, in this case:

1. Nut pushed the v0.7.13 tag for AT on February 7th.
2. F-Droid's bot updated AT's metadata for v0.7.13 on February 15th.
3. AT's v0.7.13 package has not yet been built.

We're not alone in this. For example, another game I play from F-Droid's repository (a word puzzle game called Lexica) tagged a new release on February 5th, but their build was only published on March 1st. F-Droid doesn't offer insight into how the build queue is ordered, so there's not much to do on our side but wait (as unsatisfying as that can feel sometimes ).

Thanks for all your explanations! Via the app "F-Droid Build status" I see a failed build as of Mar-8 with the last lines being

does this speak to anyone?
(there is lot more output but maybe a PM would be more advisable)

[sdevaney]

Thanks. We are aware and it's being worked on.

Again, we are not prepared at this time to give away this type of information.

Even if we knew for sure what would be next, which we don't. We have several projects in the pipeline.

I haven't even thought about him. I have 3 great quest ideas percolating right now in my head.

You are more than welcome to build a quest.
