Why neo launcher not on fdroid repo?

[Levi491]

We can find many apps like neo backup of the dev, but why neo launcher not included?

F-Droid main repo inclusion?

Do you mind if I write a request to be added to F-Droid?

It’s on Izzy’s repo

Thanks for the info

I prefer Fdroid repo apps more though

The izzy repo has an advantage in that the signatures are the same as the GitHub ones so you don’t have to reinstall when updating from the other. But I don’t think it’s as reliable, I had an app I was using seemingly removed from there before. Obtanium or RSS feeds works well for GitHub repos

This is possible in the main F-Droid repo with reproducible builds and is being done for more and more new apps.

As written on https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info:

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.
