Streetcomplete: Can't submit quests done with v8.0 and v8.1 is not on F-Droid

[Freso]

I've just come home to Sweden from 7 days in Barcelona. I didn't have wifi at the last place I stayed at, so I have a number of completed quests I never got around submitting.

Now I'm back home in Sweden and trying to submit the completed quests, and it tells me that my version is too old:

This version does not correctly determine in which country you are, necessary to tag certain answers correctly.

How to Reproduce

• Go to Barcelona and complete a number of quests, without submitting them
• Travel to Sweden and try to submit the completed quests

Versions affected

Android: 6.0.1 (Fairphone Open OS)
StreetComplete: 8.0 (F-Droid build)

[Freso]

Actually, this is probably "just" a case of the block mentioned in https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/1222 – there is one "house number" quest in the batch. Would it be possible to submit the rest and just discard the house number one?

You just need to update to v8.1, and you will be able to upload again.

No 8.1 in F-Droid yet. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

According to F-Droid wiki, the new version was built yesterday successfully: https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/lastbuild_802

According to F-Droid packages, the latest available build is 8.0: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/ :man_shrugging:

However, AFAIK, you can still solve quests and when you update to v8.1 you will be able to upload the changes.

That said, actually this thing circumvents the blocking mechanism, does not it, @westnordost? Because users could then upload broken changes they created with v8.0 in v8.1?

Don't want to go too off-topic, but to clarify the F-Droid issue:

According to F-Droid wiki, the new version was built yesterday successfully

According to F-Droid packages, the latest available build is 8.0 :man_shrugging:

Both statements are true. While the apk has already been built, the relevant thing is that the deploy task did not happen yet. See https://f-droid.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=7&from=&hidebots=0&hideanons=1&hideliu=1&limit=500

Don't know why but this happens often. The next checkupdates task is already running but no deploy yet. Hopefully the relevant task will run in this round. We need to wait...

I think this is the same problem as here:
https://forum.f-droid.org/t/steetcomplete-successful-build-but-newest-version-does-not-show-up/3302

Though, I still don't know where to report this to (in case the F-Droid guys did not notice yet)

[Freso]

I asked them on IRC (#fdroid on Freenode), and it seems the index hasn't been regenerated since last Friday(!), but it is apparently in the process of being regenerated now, so… Soon™.

@westnordost v8.1 is out, you can close the issue.

Finally! Thanks for the notice.
