F-Droid Version outdated

Post by hahu1983 »

Hello,

the ScummVM version on F-Droid https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.scummvm.scummvm/ is 1.5.0.
That version does not run games under Android 13 because you can‘t select the files (you dont see any).

Could the F-Droid Version be updated to 2.7.0.5 - which runs perfectly?

I think here is a guide how to upload/update to F-Droid https://f-droid.org/docs/Submitting_to_ ... art_Guide/, but I do not know who to contact on ScummVM side to actually do it.

Cheers!

If I'm honest I was only marginally aware of F-Droid -- apparently I also installed it on my phone at one point but can't remember why.

We can look into uploading a new version there; the process may read as simple, but it's quite involved (at least to me) and I am unsure as of yet how easy it would be to implement (without issues), and if the new version will be compatible with the old one (it should, but we're not in control of it).

Also, we'll probably have to start from scratch, since the know-how from the last time someone did this may be lost (or be super deprecated).

However, for now this has a low priority for me, since I do want to complete other pending tasks on a few game engines first.
