Kind of confused about the abandoned status of patched-apps. There have been fairly recent releases from the repo that I can see.

Indeed, that is the current version of Signal.

Is that Signal-FOSS?

Patched apps = Langis
TwinHelix = Signal-FOSS

Both are active

Oh, I have added it as comment, strange. Can someone fix this? I dont have the permission to edit my comment

And add “patched apps” back to the 3rd party repo list?

Hello F-droid team and fellow FOSS developers and lovers.
It is time we need to remove the obsolete apps that are no longer developed to keep it up to date. We can make separate list of still useful obsolete apps or integrate their use case in new modern apps.
Thanks for your support

I have merged it to the obsolete repository which hosts the repos which are abandoned. Usually we move apps to archive if they are no longer maintained. Removal is avoided as people may still require the apps. Apps are only removed if the developer requests for it.
