If you feel that #FDroid downloads are slow, just press ❎ to cancel the download then press Install/Update again so it picks up some other mirror. There's no unified "F-Droid server" but several and a dozen or more mirrors. Each time you try again it will use a different one. Hopefully the next one will have better bandwidth. /PS: We've seen the reports, we will look into it.

Back in April we asked you for a helping hand regarding legal matters. We got plenty of people willing to help or at least to guide us towards other like-minded projects that might have the experience we were looking for. Our of those discussions #FDroid will publish a series of posts that go through all the lessons learned and we hope these will be useful to all #FLOSS #FOSS contributors, maintainers, and developers out there. Take a 10 minute break for the intro:

Strengthening F-Droid

In April, we published a piece outlining some of the work underway to help strengthen the F-Droid project against unjust intrusion, interception an...

The #EU #DMA compliance workshops exist to regulate gatekeepers powers, yet both #Apple and #Google treat them like "product launches" where non-engineers show slides and can never answer questions. The Android play-field, instead of taking steps to respect the DMA, Google shrinks what Android even is. If Apple can own its closed iOS, Google figured they can privatize Android? Maybe it being #FOSS for 17 years was just a glitch and now Android is out of the famous Google betas? 1/2

The last index update triggered a bug in the official F-Droid client, and Basic: you'll see a toast with "not nullable: icon" and the index won't update. We have reverted the related change and working on fixing the bug. The fix will take about two build cycles to be deployed, so about one week. You can get the latest index now by cleaning app data or reinstalling the client, but you'd have to setup your 3-rd party repos and their priorities. We are tracking this in:
