uk.co.richyhbm.monochromatic

The app is available: Monochromatic | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Ok, you want to do what?

5

I want to add info about repo archival status in description of app on fdroiddata yml file?

6

So go to metadata/uk.co.richyhbm.monochromatic.yml · master · F-Droid / Data · GitLab and Edit… add some text under Description: keeping the alignment :slight_smile:

I got confused when i was told to revert misc changes (!13326) · Merge requests · F-Droid / Data · GitLab

  • some apps doesnt have descriptions in .yml files
  • i am wondering is there any other way…

Yes, some have it in the source repo in a Fastlane or Triple-T folder structure: All About Descriptions, Graphics, and Screenshots | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Yes, the info is here: https://github.com/therealbluepandabear/PixaPencil/blob/master/fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/full_description.txt buut since that is Archived the best way would be to copy that and add the note on top in Description:

ping @linsui

app description comes from Updated `fastlane` descriptions. · therealbluepandabear/PixaPencil@a0e9955 · GitHub

  • if there is no description in .yml & repo is archived: should i copy from short description and paste in .yml? with the following text at description top_ NOTE: This app is no longer maintained, its repo was archived.
  • or should i create issue at data repo or report here?

A Merge Request is better :slight_smile:

Predence section seems app .yml overrides other data
