F-Droid Basic metadata

F-Droid Basic metadata is currently a little whacky:

  • no proper icon (and screenshots)
  • some localized short descriptions are taken from fdroiddata and some are taken from the F-Droid Full metadata
  • in index-v2: no translated name and description
  • in index-v1: localized names and descriptions are taken from F-Droid Full (which is why Droid-ify and Neo Store show the F-Droid Full name and description)

I believe the index-v1 versus index-v2 shenanigans are a bug. I reported the issue at fdroidserver#1241 (closed)

According to this MR, fdroidserver supports build flavor specific metadata. And, it seems, it has been used before.

Is it possible to move the current metadata from /metadata to /src/full/fastlane/metadata/android and add F-Droid Basic metadata to /src/basic/fastlane/metadata/android ?
