Hey, librsvg question, the svg file mentioned in my comment here: gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-… shows a green semi-circle in librsvg, firefox, safari, etc. But a full green circle in Inkscape.
Part of me can't quite believe that the svg spec asks that symbols be pre-clipped to the page boundaries before being transformed into their use object's location.
Such elements by default clip to the viewport. In your case, I think the symbol's width/height default to auto/100%, and since the referencing <use> does not specify a width/height of its own, it uses the current viewport, i.e. the whole SVG.
I think it's best if symbols actually include a viewBox to set their aspect ratio and coordinate system, and then the <use> actually has a width/height.
iirc a symbol behaves exactly like an svg non-toplevel element except that it allows for refX and refY - hence the clipping around the viewport by default

My friends, It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news that John Panarese of Mac For the Blind has passed away. For so many of us, John was more than just a trainer or mentor—he was a source of inspiration, a steadfast friend, and a beacon of passion and dedication. To me he was a great friend, my brother from another mother, my mentor, someone i could talk to for advice.

We're starting a sprint to look at all the issues preventing #ReproducibleBuilds in all the apps we ship. Most of the issues are simple fixes in the upstream code, like unsorted outputs or timestamps included in the build. You can help make the #FreeSoftware #Android ecosystem be more reproducible! See the failures here and help us report them upstream: verification.f-droid.org/faile…
I'd also suggest looking at and linking to @IzzyOnDroid's great documentation for app devs on what to watch for: gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/…, which is much more helpful than just creating upstream issues to say "broken, please fix" without detailed steps.
(By the way, if someone wants to try building Reproducible Builds themselves, I'd strongly suggest looking at gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/…, which powers the #IzzyOnDroid #ReproducibleBuild system, covering over 30% of IoDs 1223 apps already)
Indeed. Merely reporting failures upstream is easy. And whilst sometimes fixes can also be quite easy, some expertise is often required to figure out what to do about observed differences.
Good documentation can help a lot here. As is having people with RB expertise, like @IzzyOnDroid, helping developers to debug issues :)
You also need people to develop and maintain the RB tooling and workarounds everything relies on. And to report things like compiler bugs to Google. Which so far has been pretty much just me.
Checklist I am able to reproduce the bug with the latest version given here: CLICK THIS LINK. I made sure that there are no existing issues - open or closed - which I could contribute my informatio...
Yes, there is plenty of low hanging fruit like embedded timestamps or nondeterministic ordering. Many apps are already easily reproducible or require only small fixes.
But the ecosystem is constantly moving: old toolchain and dependency bugs get fixed, but new ones keep popping up.
Reproducible Builds are not just an item on a checklist, something you (ask upstreams to) enable and then you're done. Especially when it's a hard requirement like at F-Droid where new builds no longer being reproducible means users will not be able to get updates.
It's an ongoing process involving not just upstream app developers, but also maintainers of repositories, clients, and rebuilders; those involved in outreach and writing documentation; developers and maintainers of tooling, toolchains, and dependencies. And often requires a lot of collaborative debugging :)
It requires teamwork and an ongoing commitment to investigate and fix new issues when they pop up.
I know you don't like to link to us as you don't want to "endorse" 3rd-party repos – but maybe it's time you forget your grudges, and to accept the expertise you're offered? After all, aren't your RBs using our tools (as our repo still uses yours)? Haven't we adopted from each other in both directions? We have no issues linking to you (the wiki @SylvieLorxu just mentioned does that, for example). Your turn now 😉
@IzzyOnDroid @SylvieLorxu I would be happy to see your repo become #FreeSoftware! As you well know, F-Droid only endorses verifiable free software projects.
It is also great to see all your work on #ReproducibleBuilds. We are continuing to build upon our years of effort there. Our approach is focused on identifying issues and getting things fixed upstream as much as possible. Then devs do not need to use any special tools to achieve reproducible builds.
@S1m now, that's not possible with @fdroidorg anymore; support for this was broken for fdroidserver in January, unfortunately. It's still possible with IzzyOnDroid, though, as we used a different patch (and yes, we have at least 1 app which uses key rotation (Occtax), and our documentation recommends that for key changes). Though we don't need that for RBs, as RB verification runs on a separate track here, so we can "make apps RB" even after they have been listed here for a while. @SylvieLorxu
@IzzyOnDroid @S1m @SylvieLorxu we aim to support signer key rotation. We would greatly appreciate it if those who know about bugs would file them in our issue tracker so that we can track them. Also, we welcome contributions there.
@eighthave @S1m @SylvieLorxu Good to know your stance on this has changed now – back in April, when we warned about breaking support for key rotation (it was still supported before that MR was merged), it was not important: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver…
Had you accepted our contributions back then, APKs with rotated keys would still work with fdroidserver (as they do at IzzyOnDroid, where those contributions have been implemented).
@IzzyOnDroid @S1m @SylvieLorxu The issue you are pointing to is only for APKs that have APKv1 signatures. That means apps with minSdkVersion less than 24 (Android 6 and older). That is devices that have not had an OS update since 2015. That is maybe a couple of percent of Android users? So I decided my limited time was better spent elsewhere rather than sinking days of work to supporting a small percentage of apps on a tiny percentage of devices. That said, I welcome contributions.
@eighthave @S1m @SylvieLorxu I won't delve into that again, Hans, so let's stop that here please. You've spent 2 weeks of that valuable time on an alternative implementation back then instead of accepting contributions offered to you by experts (not mine, I'm not expert in that area). And sorry, but our time is limited, too, so we cannot sink days into fixing that again for you 😉
You might want to mention that unlike the rebuilders run by e.g. @IzzyOnDroid, which verify APKs built and published by upstreams, in a build environment customised for that, your linked verification server reproduces F-Droid's builds (which may be patched), using F-Droid's build environment. That's kind of important when you're going to report issues upstream.

This fixes a minor bug in Catima 2.34.0 where selecting an "invalid" pkpass file (corrupted/not actually pkpass) after choosing to open from Pkpass would cause the app to crash. Now, you just get a little message stating the file could not be read instead.
It's that time of the year again when I reflect on my journey with Android. Back in 2012, I decided to purchase my first Android phone and never looked back.
This is very well done and informative. The only thing that comes to mind for me is that 2024 is the year Eloquence is truly dying. Lots of modern chips are losing the ability to run 32-bit apps at all, so new phones like the S24 and OnePlus 12 are not going to get Eloquence.
This article also led me to the opinion piece on Samsung's Talkback, which brings me to my own saga. I have two Samsung phones running Android 12 and 13, and I've force-removed Samsung Talkback and replaced it with Google's version. Lately, I've been noticing that Talkback crashes in certain apps or webviews, and the crash is bad enough to require a second s'creen reader to fix it. The first time it happened, I had to get very painful video assistance to authorize ADB and fix it. This is the user experience people get if they want to break away from Samsung Talkback now. With two of my phones doing it and at least one other report of the same thing on a modern phone, we are looking at a serious setback to running the latest Talkback. Between this and the incredible software bloat, I'm now actively recommending people avoid Samsung. I'm sure some other phone manufacturor will adopt a similar update policy next year, and Pixels are nothing to sneeze at either.
@simon Absolutely right. We have the same issue on the S24 Ultra, and Google TalkBack consistently crashes while performing certain tasks whereas Samsung TalkBack doesn't. Samsung's accessibility efforts are really faltering.
They are, but I'm not sure whether to blame Google or Samsung for the crashing issue. Either way, it's frustrating, and Samsung could solve this by just bowing out and going back to Google Talkback. If they want to make contributions to it ... well it's open-source, right?
@simon Google tells users that installing Google TalkBack on Samsung phones might generate serious issues, and Samsung is silent on the matter. But as you rightly said, this TalkBack separation should stop on the part of Samsung.
@JamminJerry My guess: This is just an inertia problem. Samsung doesn't really seem interested in making meaningful changes to Talkback anymore, so once in a while someone merges in existing changes and releases an update. Switching to Google's version isn't necessarily a bad idea, it just takes work and system-level changes and they just can't be bothered.
@simon @JamminJerry Nicely put. Samsung apparently has no interest in pursuing accessibility efforts, so they should let go of this ruinous TalkBack separation.
@simon Pixels are great. I don't regret getting mine and switching from Samsung and I never thought I'd do that. Nice just having one TalkBack among other software. I wonder if Samsung'll lose other longtime users with that behavior. They should just give us Google's TalkBack!
