@boredsquirrel @merde Wait, which app took 6 months to get updates built verified from source by F-Droid?

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think 6 months was an exaggeration.

I remember Mull taking very long and skipping multiple updates. K-9 Mail, now under the Mozilla Namespace, also took long, even though I am not sure if the updates are prereleases yet.

The same for the Fossify Apps, which took like a month or so longer to appear?

This may all be wanted or inherent because of submission and build delays.

@boredsquirrel Fennec/Mull are huge tasks to clean up, delays are expected but are measured in weeks. K-9 pre-releases are coming as they appear, but you need to enable Beta updates in app details menu. Fossify apps were included when ready.
