Ahem… minor correction if I may: “Because most of those apps…” ![]()
Partially. Believe it or not, there are fully FLOSS apps in my repo where the authors explicitly stated they want them there, and not here.
True – and get removed once they reached “F-Droid proper”. Though many remain in my repo.
That said: Indeed quite a lot of apps don’t meet the stronger criteria at F-Droid.org – which is why they’ll never show up there. So I fully understand my repo isn’t included by default (we’ve discussed that before). Though: there could be a separate section in the “repositories” screen, stating something like “danger section” (with a short explanation), where such repos like mine could be pre-configured but not enabled by default. Not only mine – I also think of repos like Collabora, Bromite, Libretto…
Why not? Even Debian doesn’t hide its nonfree the way we hide 3rd-party repos ![]()
