This might be a duplicate of #3420.

I use obtainium package-manager.
It grabs the apk directly from github and checks, if new releases arrived.

Because of f-droid doesn't give me the current versions.

[licaon-kter]

@xundeenergie ...because the app does not currently build in a reproducible way.

F-Droid would love to host the latest version, but verification fails.

[xundeenergie]

Ok.

But, if i want to use the latest release... i have to download it manually from github... obtainium will check and do this for me. :)

/close this

[K4LCIFER]

Why was this closed? Is it because it's a duplicate? Or is it resolved?

[licaon-kter]

It is resolved, 0.7.2 was just built and awaits the cycle to end and be published.

Whcih means that F-Droid is trailing releases as expected.

[K4LCIFER]

When is 0.7.2 expected to be in F-Droid? It's still stuck on 0.7.1.

@K4LCIFER can you read my post again?

Then read: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/FAQ#how-long-does-it-take-for-my-app-to-show-up-on-website-and-client

[K4LCIFER]

Ah okay! Noted. My bad.

Side note, is it possible to see the actual build output? I did a cursory look on GitLab, but I didn't find anything.
