Code-OSS Related Questions.

[atikattar1104]

Hi. I Recently Found Out That VS Code Can Run On Termux, Thanks To TUR Repo. But As Soon As I Heard About It, A Couple Of Questions Popped Up In My Mind. They Are As Follows.

1. As The Name Of VS Code Is code-oss In TUR Repo, Is It Similar To VSCodium, Which Is VS Code But Has It's Telemetry Data/Code Removed? Are These 2 (code-oss From TUR Repo And VSCodium) Similar?

2. If They Are Similar, Did TUR Repo's code-oss Has It's Telemetry Data/Code Removed (Just Like VSCodium) In The Build Process?

Actually, I Am Currently Learning Web Development In My College. Almost Everyone Have A Laptop, Except Me. I Am Using An Open Source Android IDE Named ACode, Which Is A Little Unstable, And Have Some Issues With Heavy Working. That's Why I Am Looking For VS Code In Termux.

Also, I Don't Trust Microsoft When It Comes To Data Privacy. That's Why Asking These Questions. Please Let Me Know About It.

Thanks!

code-oss in TUR is not like vscodium. In code-oss, telemetry is not removed, but it is turned off by default. (See 0004-set-enableTelemetry-to-false-by-default.patch)

Thanks! Despite Having Dissimilarities With VSCodium, The code-oss Seems Promising To Me. I Will Try If I Can Install It In My Potato Phone 😅.

I Am Keeping This Discussion Open, In Case Anyone Else Have Questions Related To code-oss.

Can the code-marketplace be integrated into Termux so that we can use extensions like Remote-ssh and Copilot?

[licy183]

It is not possible, because these extensions use prebuilt binary files, and these binary files are linked against glibc, not bionic libc, unless these extensions are open-sourced, and TUR recompiles those binary files to let them link against bionic libc.
