use standard fdroid repo dir layout

[eighthave]

This is great work! I have one small request that'll make this integrate better into the F-Droid ecosystem: please use the standard directory layout. It seems right now this puts the repo straight into fdroid/. Instead it should look like:

-fdroid
       |-config.py
       \-repo
             |-index.xml
             |-my.package_123.apk

I'm quite sure I'm using the standard fdroid layout. During initialization, the following commands are executed:

fdroid init -v
fdroid update --create-key -v

The last call is redundant for first time initialization, but it is useful in case the repo was already initialized but it's missing some required files.

This is the result of initialization:

pm-dir
        |-config.py
        |-archive/
        |-fdroid-icon.png
        |-keystore.jks
        |-metadata/
        |-srclibs/
        |-tmp/
        \-repo
            |-index-xml
            |-123.apk
            [...]

Yup, that looks standard. Perhaps you are using something different than `fdroid server update` to publish the repo to the webserver? Also, you should check out the gitlab/github repo hosting. You could have Playmaker pushing repos to github for free hosting. See examples/config.py.

@eighthave Which issue are you actually reporting here?
That the repo is being served at domain.org/fdroid instead of domain.org/repo? Apart from that, the standard fdroid repo setup is being used.

[eighthave]

The full repo should have a basedir of _fdroid/_, e.g. `domain.org/fdroid`, then there should be a "repo" and "archive" sections there: * domain.org/fdroid/repo/index.xml * domain.org/fdroid/archive/index.xml

[eighthave]

Then domain.org/fdroid/index.html can optionally be used as a webpage to describe the repo.

Since the current setup works, I guess that the fdroid app will check both these paths:

• <playmaker_host>/fdroid/index.xml
• <playmaker_host>/fdroid/repo/index.xml

right? If so, in the next version I'll change the base directory. The index.html thing i think could be done manually by users

[eighthave]

Only fdroid/repo/index.xml is supported as a standard location.

[eighthave]

And yeah, the index.html would be done manually by the users. It would be nice to have an auto-generated version, but someone would have to implement that :-)
