make seadroid easier to build automatically about seadroid HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

Why not download the latest version of seadroid from
http://seafile.com/en/download/?

seadroid currently uses external libs that have to be included manually to
build the client.
This works for most cases, but results in more work for every dev wanting
to build it's own binary.
Worse: if you want to build seadroid automatically it completely messes
things up. Example: FDroid http://fdroid.org(Opensource-Android-Repository) has to adjust it's build-settings every
time seadroid updates it's code.
For that reason Seafile-Updates are currently disabledhttps://gitorious.org/f-droid/fdroiddata/source/660a05be3af13cc134118dbb262b5c62c23040c5:metadata/com.seafile.seadroid.txtin FDroid, what keeps OpenSource-Users with a really old Version and poor
user-experience.

or as one of the guys in irc put it:

10:26 < mvdan> Dr_Azrael_Tod: it's tedious to update, if you want to make
updates easier ping upstream to use git submodules
10:26 < mvdan> or include the library sources in the repo
10:24 < Dr_Azrael_Tod> so uhh.. who do i have to kick and/or bribe to get
seafile updated? :-)

10:35 < mvdan> Dr_Azrael_Tod: What I'm saying is, I tried updating it the
other day but failed

devs

because then i can only chose between not getting any updates at all or having to install google-framework, google play and signing in to google-foo

last but not least: this isn't only about me getting a working copy of seadroid, but about ease of use for people wanting to build their own binaries or searching for software from alternative sources

I get it. Actually some time ago I tried to use maven to build seadroid,
but I didn't find the "NewQuickAction" android library, which is used by
seadroid, in the maven repository, so I gave up.

Supposedly we need to make a maven project for NewQuickAction and upload it
to the repository, and after that we can mavenize seadroid itself.

Now you can build the apk by "maven clean package". See README for details.

While it's now easier to build, the version of Seafile on Fdroid is still 0.8.2, from January 2014. Will you be updating it?

Also, when I tried to build I got the following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project seadroid: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.seafile.seadroid2:seadroid:apk:1.0.0: Failure to find android:android:jar:4.2.2_r3 in https://github.com/haiwen/maven-repo/raw/master was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of custom maven repository has elapsed or updates are forced

I'm using Maven 3.2.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.

EDIT: never mind, I managed to get it to build fully by following the steps at https://travis-ci.org/haiwen/seadroid.
