The page claims that Nekogram X is GPL licensed which means source really needs to be available, you don’t need me to tell you that: licensing, security, observability, just to check that it doesn’t do anything funny, etc.
So having Nekogram X | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository but not having the source code is a bit of problem as far as I can see. Perhaps Nekogram X moved to some other git hosting and the issue just boils down to updating the URL? My googling failed to find that other hosting though so I don’t know.
Just after posting this I realized there’s source tarball available so nothing is violated and everything’s OK. Link to github still doesn’t work though, don’t know whether there’s anything that could be done about that, sorry for the fuss.
@Licaon_Kter Since we already have multiple alternative active clients IMO F-Droid should move this inactive & no source app to Archive repo. Generally it’s not good use such client for messaging purpose, though the app still works for now.
Thanks.
Issues disabled on GitHub. The mentioned TG group link suggests : “This group can’t be displayed because it was used to spread pornographic content.” There is no way to contact them for F-Droid inclusion.
The biggest problem with all those forks - a private chat you create in one fork is non-existent in all other instances.
I believe this should be displayed as a big red fat warning for all users thinking about using any of those forks because it is not quite obvious.
Technically this could be solved at least among FOSS forks and it would be an extremely desirable feature, also allowing migration of secret chats to new devices.
It is a Telegram Feature, however afaik there is nothing that would stop a FOSS app to implement export and import of the “secret” information needed to transfer secret chats. It can be reportedly done with Titanium Backup
Hello everyone, I am a new member here. I think the Nekogram X source repository on GitHub appears to have been deleted, resulting in a 404 error. While the app is GPL-licensed, meaning the source code should be available, it’s unclear if it has moved to another hosting platform. Users should check F-Droid or GitLab for updates or alternatives.
