For people wanting to help updating/unblocking/adding apps, have a look at our issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata and request for packaging tracker: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/issues

You'll find docs here: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/ and drop by on #fdroid on freenode if you need help.

And #GNU #Ring is finally up-to-date again on #fdroid! (And should hopefully not fall behind that much again.)

#fdroid 1.2.2 is out fixing a critical bug on older android phones, where is was instantly crashing and restarting in a loop.

One of the #GSOC projects from @matrix is building an altenrative to GCM push for #matrix. This will directly benefit the #fdroid version of #riot!

@vilbi @moetech openwhispersystems doesn't allow any third party to distribute indipendent builds of signal. So signal won't be in F-Droid. You can find all the details in various github issues.

The upcoming version of Telegram-FOSS on @fdroidorg will have better chances to connect through the Russian Telegram blocks. If you need it right now you can install the beta build from here: https://github.com/Telegram-FOSS-Team/Telegram-FOSS/releases/tag/v4.6b #DIGITALRESISTANCE #collateralfreedom

Big update today: @Tusky 1.6.1, @tom79 1.8.6, #conversations 2.1.1, #BRouter 1.4.11, @nextclouders 3.1.0 @fdroidorg 1.2.1 and many more!

We published an update for the #wikipedia app today. Update now to v2.7.232: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.wikipedia/

Fix for the broken repo-index is commited to the metadata but requires generating a new one which might not happen until tomorrow.

We're trying to hurry this along.

The latest repo index published by F-Droid seems to produce errors on local db update. We are investigating.

F-Droid client 1.2 is released ???? and will be marked as suggested update tomorrow: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/

Changelog: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/raw/master/metadata/en-US/changelogs/1002050.txt

@gabriel
En las nuevas versiones de F-Droid (>0.103) en la pagina de actualizaciones hay un botón con lo que se puede descargar las actualizaciones de todas las aplicaciones. Con la extensión privilegiada se puede instalarlas directamente después.

Ahora ya también hablamos español. ¡Pregúntanos sobre lo que quieras!

If you happen to know people on that *other* platform, you can spread the word there as well: https://twitter.com/fdroidorg

We are **way** more popular here btw it seems :)

Which apps that are on F-Droid should we follow here?

Proof that it's really us: https://botbot.me/freenode/fdroid/2018-04-13/?msg=98953164&page=1

Will post a blog post later, but publishing that takes a while.

F-Droid is now on Mastodon as well!
