Build mimir from source for F-Droid

[maelchiotti]

Hi @linsui. I've added the build of flutter_mimir to my pipeline. It simply calls fdroid_build_mimir.sh, which build the binaries and moves them to the pub cache, pretty much like with isar.

The only thing that seems a bit weird to me is that when building the APK during my testing, Flutter installed an NDK for some reason, while it did not previously. So I hope it still uses the one I set up before 🤔

Do you need me do to anything to make sure the F-Droid build works correctly? I'm making a new release today but if anything needs to be changed I'll make a new one during the week.

Thanks, testing... Could you please make it build only 1 abi? And [this command] should use --locked so that it won't suddenly break if a dep releases a new version.

Is this fixed? I saw your issues and the related commits which seems to be related to this.

I'll take a look at what you asked, but you forgot the link for the command I should --locked.

And I don't think the NDK issue is fixed, the v1.10.0 also has it. I'm wondering if something in the mimir build process triggers the installation, I don't really know.

Ah, https://github.com/GregoryConrad/mimir/blob/c00cdd195fc11ef9e9af64d85e607411e792e316/scripts/build-android.sh#L13 this line. :)

Not sure which version this is. Maybe you can set it to r26d?

[linsui]

It builds.

[maelchiotti]

Great, and it's reproducible?

[linsui]

Yes, it's reproducible. :)

[maelchiotti]

Well, awesome! So I guess the weird NDK install doesn't mess with the APK in the end.

[linsui]

Not sure. Maybe it mess with the apk reproducibly. :) It's older than r26d so it's not likely used by chance anyway.
