F-Droid back-end spec?

@KaKi87

When should it be changed and how should it be generated ?

It’s bumped manully. Commits · master · F-Droid / fdroidserver · GitLab

@KaKi87

How to generate such value from a major.minor.patch version ?

It’s defined by upstream devs.

@KaKi87

Do you mean clients will automatically install or uninstall apps from those values ?

I think so. But I never see a repo with that so I’m not sure how it works.

It’s defined by upstream devs.

I wondered if there was any spec about it, like SemVer for versionCode, but I just found out it’s coming from the app manifest anyway.

Will I find sig and signer values in there as well ?

@linsui

I think so.

I’m surprised F-Droid would include such an invasive feature

What is the F-Droid client expecting in response to the HEAD /repo/{packageName}_{versionCode}.apk request ?

Would you know why F-Droid successfully lists my repository content while Aurora Droid doesn’t ?

Thanks

I’m not familiar with the website/client stuff. Not sure who should be asked…
