My search on this topic didnt show much so I thought I’d ask:
is there any intent by developers to add a repository import/export feature to the app? As others have commented I also have a couple dozen repos in my app & it would be nice to be able to do so.
Using an older Motorola Droid with Nougat and stock rom so Seedvault won’t work for me.
Thanks!

Is there any way to do this? It’s getting a little annoying to redo the list manually EVERY time I reinstal/install Fdroid…

Yes, with a client like Droid-ify Add Import/Export Option by Iamlooker · Pull Request #540 · Droid-ify/client · GitHub

So there is no current plans for the official release to do it? Bummer

At least I’m not alone in wanting it, but there doesn’t seem to be any progress on it…

Hi, I am going to move from one smartphone to another. The old one has an extensive list of additional repos. I want to take that list to the new device.
The f-droid app itself doesn’t seem to have options for export/import this list. Is there another way to accomplish that?

I would like to have a mechanism in F-Droid such that a user can bookmark or mark as favourite apps in F-Droid and letting import, export and share such list with other devices or users. Maybe something like a collection maker.

Could it be interesting to someone?

Did you already look at Droid-ify? At least you can mark as favourite and at least share links to individual app. I dind’t dive deeper. I use Droid-ify and love it. It comes with lots of repos already registered and with the ability of ex-/importing the list of repos.

Thanks for the tip! It seems a valid alternative to F-Droid even though it seems to be not so featureful compared to the original. I think i will use them both
