What is your planning for apps that are available in Izzy Repo as well as in F-Droid Official Repo.

Are you continue to release or stop the release after releasing in F-Droid Official.

Quoting from my repo’s details page:

Another reason for an app getting removed from my repo is if it was added to the „official F-Droid repository“. Removal then mainly is to avoid confusion at the users’ end, due to signature mismatch on updates (if they installed an app from the official repo, signed with F-Droid’s key, and an update rolls in earlier via my repo – which is usually the case – there’d be a warning displayed if they’d try to apply that update). In some cases an app still stays with my repo; usually it then uses reproducible builds so there’d be no signature mismatch.

So the default action is: it gets removed from my repo. But exceptions are possible if there’s a good reason why it should stay.

@Izzy one advantage over reproducible builds with izzy repo, if any bugs fixes it solves on a day.

builds aren’t reproducible until they are actually reproduced :slight_smile:

And if I kept each RB app, I’d be in resource trouble pretty soon. With F-Droid it usually takes 2-5 days, yes. But is that alone a reason for a double listing?

That said, you can always reach out to me via your app’s issue tracker or via mine and request an exception. As those exceptions are quite specific, they are not so well suited here in the forum.
