    This is huge! Just integrating F-Droid into their mix package manager is really badass.

    Because the only good way to autoupdate the Android apps is from the PC host using waydroid app install. But F-Droids release images are totally random and also not as secure as using the API. Having repo support is waaay better.

        Eh, obtainium doesn’t verify signatures, it quite literally just scrapes sources.

          When F-Droid builds direct from repo, signs and downloads to your phone, is it really that different from pulling the APK directly from the original repo?

            It doesn’t sign it locally, it verifies the file you downloaded is already signed properly as it should be. This ensures the download isn’t broken but also that the app is from who they claim it is.

              But they need that because they are not the source, right? I feel like I’m missing something. Developer makes app on say, GitHub, how is going through F-Droid more trustworthy than the source?

                because obtainium gets many apps directly from F-Droid.org too, not just github

                And for those downloads, it does no verification

                Not on GitHub either, where signatures are often attached together with the APK.
