Manually merging it by cherry-picking or applying (some of) our commits on top of upstream might be practical but is still tons of work. Cherry-picking their commits which add .aab support is clearly far less work but isn't easy either, because on top of the .aab signing commits (I couldn't easily figure out which commits are needed but "git log --grep bundle" is a good start) you'd also need all the ones for gradle support.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>First I'll dig around and see if there is a way to just change the existing scripts to support aab format, which might be possible, I don't know yet.</div><div>If not, I think trying to cherry-pick our commits on top of upstream sounds like the least work, but I'll cross that bridge only if I don't find any easier shortcuts.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll keep you posted if I find anything.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, 16 Dec 2023 at 01:49, James Paige via Ohrrpgce <<a href="mailto:ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org" target="_blank">ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I forgot to mention, the android builds have been broken for a while (Since October 27)</div><div><br></div><div>I haven't had time to narrow it down to the exact revision yet, but I'll work on it when I have time.</div><div>I also want to work on the Android 12 fix, (I know what to do) and the .aab format (Don't know what to do yet, but I'll figure it out eventually)</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div>James<br></div><div><br></div></div>
