Reproducible build = update or upgrade from any source

if the APK is signed by the same key, yes

buuut, keep in mind that F-Droid offers the update AFTER it was verified reproducible, that’s why IT TAKES TIME

if you value convenience and install random APKs… yeah, you do you, what can go wrong…

  • always assumed reproducible
    means apk is signed by same key
    for all known apks released by dev or
    stores like fdroid, izzy droid, etc…
  • excuse, i misread

if izzy picks it up, yes, you’ll be able to update to that one too

that app is not setup as reproducible (aka not signed by the developer), it’s signed by F-Droid

but, the app is verified reproducible: APK Explorer & Editor Reproducibility Status which is a nice thing. If the developer will want to switch to repro builds, I guess that’s easy-er
