fdroid lint org.shadowice.flocke.andotp

removing .yml will partly resolve issue, moreover it is scanning yml file on master but not branch

~/fdroiddata$ fdroid lint -f org.shadowice.flocke.andotp

Use fdroidserver from git master. See CONTRIBUTING.md · master · F-Droid / Data · GitLab

Ok, i will remove existing debian package & try installation pip method…

10

@linsui pip installation should be run as user NOT root, am i correct?

11

Yes. You can also use a venv so that the packages are installed locally.
