People interested in this patch:
I've added it to every branch of CutTheCord, and updated builds should be available on the repos in an hour or so.
BlueMods (and future me):
I've implemented this directly with isAvailable instead of isActuallyAvailable for now, as I like to keep patches as simple as possible. When we get around to implementing pseudoNitro I'll change it if need be.
Hey @BlueMods,
Thanks a lot for this patch, I will port it to 34.0 and push it (and I'll make sure to give you credit).
Can you email me at distok at ave dot zone? I think I may help with sourcing APKs and such.
Luna covered most of the ground here, but I'd like to word it myself too:
There's 2 ways of going with this, either we have the user build CTC, or we have a service build CTC.
Both of these have pros and cons.
With users building things, we require user to own a compatible development space. While ideally everyone would have a computer that either runs Linux or is capable of running a Linux VM, I do think that we do need to be a bit more realistic here and accept that a significant portion of our userbase either lack the hardware or the knowledge. Those that do can use CTCCI or build manually, and get all the control they want over their builds without ever needing to ask for help from us, be knowledge, be computational power.
While the tooling could be improved to support more operating systems, I do not have a non-Linux dev environment, and sadly do not have an interest at the time to try and maintain CTCCI for more than just linux.
With there being a service like a webapp building things, well... you're going to need a lot of computational power. Each build can take upwards of a minute even on relatively fast CPUs, and with a large amount of patch options, even if you cached the artifacts and served them for identical builds, optimized builds by basing them on resulting environments of builds that have a subset of builds (which can make builds faster as apktool caches certain things), you're still looking at a potentially huge amount of power to dedicate.
This is something I may be willing to sponsor, though I'm not interested in developing this right now, and it concerns me regarding updates and also about patches that clash, patches that require a specific application order, patches that rely on each other etc.

Right now, CTC is a bit more on a middle ground than anything. There's ctcci and docs for those that want to build it themselves, and the premade sets of builds for the rest available over fdroid (and friends etc do request their own builds sometimes, which do get added).
Sadly discord removed this display completely so uh, rip. Closing.
Closing this to remove clutter, sorry.
