Why some apps are readily updated while others are neglected?

Firstly, thank you to all those thanklessly endeavor supporting the community… I am experiencing that submitted app updates are not built in the order submitted. This is really bad, seems there is an update cabal of sorts taking place within the last year. Guys please build the submissions in order received… Thanks again for making the community awesome!

which order exactly?

apps are built is alphabetical order based on appids. more info: FAQ · Wiki · F-Droid / wiki · GitLab

Hi,
Since around a year, there has been a clear problem having submitted updates built for software F-Droid users depend on.

which order exactly?

apps are built is alphabetical order based on appids.

I am not sure what difference it makes what the spelling of the app is in this case.

Sincerely,
Oclair

Easy to understand and the tone of this question says it all it’s up to whomever does the work when they have time or wanto to update their submission…that question really should only be asked if actually submitted an app yourself. But really it’s Open source and that’s the nature of individual driven platform as this is

Which app exactly?

Are you being vague intentionally?

how long did you look at F-Droid cycles that you jump so eagerly to conclusions?

nextcloud? it’s updated when the developers want it, manually as they wish: Add Nextcloud 3.29.3 (!15705) · Merge requests · F-Droid / Data · GitLab

protonvpn? same deal, latest version they advertise is still older: android-app/metadata/version_fdroid.txt at 5.6.8.0 · ProtonVPN/android-app · GitHub 5.5.68.0

F-Droid is slow? Yes it is… but otherwise, things are pretty stable, software development is hard from all the ends.

we publish weekly news posts and reports: News | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

subscribe via RSS or read a couple of them, expand the Updated apps list… then tell us that “update cabal” eat your homework… :person_shrugging:

F-droid is supposed to pick-up new revision once we push to github, 5.3.15.3 was pushed on 2.05. We reported the issue here: ch.protonvpn.android is out of date (#3261) · Issues · F-Droid / Data · GitLab

yes, that’s how it works, read FAQ · Wiki · F-Droid / wiki · GitLab yourself too

and?

flood what? what did you want to achieve by opening issues in their repos and here?

you’ve got your answers already

what’s the next issue?
