I can’t compile AND connect to their servers, right? The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
Read We can include Signal in F-Droid and those links posted there.Ī program is free software if the program’s users have the four essential freedoms: Thanks to Axet’s android-firebase-fake library which I’ve lightly extended to stub out the Firebase dependencies, alongside my own GMS stub implementation – potentially these could be leveraged to degoogle more apps e.g. So, I figured I would post it here in case anyone is interested in building it check the Dockerfile in Signal’s source for build instructions. (Notably recent changes to Signal mean that my pull request breaks the Play release build, but that can likely be addressed if they ever decide to merge it). I’ve been discussing it on the Signal User Community forums, and have filed a pull request, neither of which have generated a response from the Signal developers in the last two months. You will simply have to survive without Google’s binary ML-Kit facial recognition for now. Also, maps and automatic facial recognition don’t work there’s a separate patch for OSM support which the Signal developers were not keen on merging. I’m not distributing builds as I’m aware of the historical issues between F-Droid and Signal this isn’t an inclusion request, on that note. Patches are available on my Github - look for the most recent branch with -FOSS in its name. I’ve degoogled Signal Messenger’s website build so it can be compiled and runs without any Google Play Services / Firebase code, and is completely open source.
