Is there a way to download archived versions older than 1 month?

1

I recently updated Syncthing-Fork, only to find out that the new version reliably crashes on my device.

I would like to revert to the previous version which did not crash, but the three versions available on the website, are all from the 1.29.6.x branch, which is the one which crashes, and are all from May 2025.

Is there a way to revert to an earlier version?

Better to report upstream

Turn on/add F-Droid archive repo to your F-Droid client.

Somebody already did

See Dude, Where's My Archive? | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

I enabled the “repository archive” checkbox in the F-Droid repository preferences, but no archived version are visible on the “syncthing” page.

Also, adding the archive repository manually fails with a message “archived repositories cannot be added”.

yes, as said

so you look at the page, on the top you enable the “Archive repo”… from the selector, yes?

then they don’t appear below in Versions?

There is no such a dropdown list on my F-Droid.

11

are you sure? check again

did it download the index of the Archive?

How do I check? It does not show it anywhere.
I pulled the menu down many times on the first page and it showed “Updating repositories” many times.

Some TLS issue?

hmm seeing the same on my old Android 6 with both 1.22 and the latest 1.23 (https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid_1023050.apk) - meaning, I see the index downloading but… then the Archive selector is not shown

but works fine on the newer faster Android 14 device

will need to look closer at adb next

if the main repo works, should not be :person_shrugging:

So basically. Old apps should also get published that arent in f droid. And a moderator will look at how advanced it is. If it is just a few buttons that do basically nothing. It is on the literal bottom. If it is a normal app. Has a few mechanics that actually are pretty great but not so good. Like flier are just in the middle. But games that have a very great mechanic or mechanics that are better and help with you phone or are just really advanced that is impossible to code. It gets to the top or almost at the top.

Do you mean apps from the F-Droid archive?

18

No, i mean apps from F-droid.

I don’t understand you.
