We're starting a sprint to look at all the issues preventing #ReproducibleBuilds in all the apps we ship. Most of the issues are simple fixes in the upstream code, like unsorted outputs or timestamps included in the build. You can help make the #FreeSoftware #Android ecosystem be more reproducible! See the failures here and help us report them upstream:
After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there is still Giving Tuesday left. But instead of shopping stuff you probably don't even need, please think about, if you want to give something instead.

Hello dear K-9 users! You probably got a suggested updated for K-9 to "Thunderbird Beta for Testers". This is just a metadata issue, which displays a wrong name and icon. The update itself is K-9 in version 8.0. You don't get automatically switched over to Thunderbird. This will probably be fixed in the next index update. In other news: Thunderbird for Android is available now on #FDroid ;)
As with any other app, we flagged Fennec and Mull with KnownVuln until the app is updated. Contributors fixed the issues that delayed versions 130 and later. Stand by for the build.
