Removing your own app

Apps
1

Hi,

One of my apps (likely to see only low usage as it’s quite specialised) relies on a server which I wish to close down.

I hope to move the API which the app depends on to another server but I don’t have a timescale for this.

I was therefore considering removing it from F-Droid, at least temporarily, as I don’t want people to use the app and experience unexplained errors.

Obviously the source code will continue to be available (on gitlab) as it’s GPL-licensed.

Is there a “standard” action people take in cases like this? Is “de-listing” the app by the author commonplace or indeed supported?

Thanks.

Open a Gitlab MR that adds ArchivePolicy: 0 above AutoUpdateMode

@Licaon_Kter thanks. Have added MR.
Presumably when I want to list it again I just change the settings in the yaml file back to how they were.
