Hi everyone,

I got the Voyager repo ready for F-droid following F-droid's guide for screenshots, releases etc. However, we now need to submit a PR to F-droid to list it there. :)

If anyone here is experienced with building/submitting to F-droid, I would definitely appreciate the help!

Thanks Alex

Thank you for making the effort. Getting packaged by F-droid is far from trivial, but IMO it's well worth it, both in terms of users' trust, and possibly also in improving your build process.

I'm not sure folks fully understand just how much value F-Droid adds above and beyond other repos that just publish any ol' APK you throw at them. Reproducible builds are important!

Thank you! I'm excited for F-droid support :)

how about adding apks to the releases so I can add this to obtanium? https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

Yeah, Obtanium replaced f-droid for me.

One thing that's nice about F-Droid is it guarantees that the APK you run is built from the source code. Does Obtanium have that?

You need to add them manually all the time?

I didn't know about this, while I think marketplace part of f Droid may still be better, but update part of Obtainium seems well advanced, I'll try for sure

I have been asking this from some time but it is ignored by the devs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well it's added now! ☺️
