F-Droid Basic just got released for the first time. Built from the same code as regular @fdroidorg, it comes with a reduced feature set (no nearby share and no panic feature). Also it targets Android 13 and will soon be able to do unattended updates.

Nice, thanks!

Will the regular one also get unattended updates?

@bebna @fdroidorg Yes, but it will take more time.

mitexleo,

@grote @fdroidorg I use Neo Store. Official clients has somewhat outdated UI.

mjjzf,

@grote @fdroidorg I really like the concept.
The fonts are just a tiny bit small along with the grey on white - I admit I have s hard time reading then on my Oneplus 10 Pro.

@mjjzf
Could be much darker indeed. Care to open a ticket for it?
@fdroidorg

mjjzf,

@grote @fdroidorg Done, thank you very much.

Curious to know how unattended upgrades will work.

@minecraftchest1
Simply by using this new Android API: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageInstaller.SessionParams#setRequireUserAction(int)

@grote @fdroidorg unattended updates? Finally! That is so necessary!

@grote @fdroidorg
Glad to hear that development on continues! But what's the point of having 2 branches? Or will the old one be discontinued?

grote,
@grote@chaos.social avatar

@amarok @fdroidorg It won't be a branch. It is built from the same (a subset really) source code of the main app.

    @cobratbq Yes, @fdroidorg already has an install history feature in expert settings.

    @grote @fdroidorg Could you update the activity label to differentiate from regular F-Droid?

    grote,
    @grote@chaos.social avatar

    @spacecowboy @fdroidorg Yeah, known issue. You probably don't have English as your phone language.

    spacecowboy,
    @spacecowboy@androiddev.social avatar

    @grote actually English is my phone language. But the locale is en-SE so that explains that.

    @spacecowboy Trying to solve with: https://gitlab.com/grote/fdroidclient/-/commit/5bfd14fd51644c43cce5221580ce995b71c65a0f

    @spacecowboy Is it solved in latest release?

    spacecowboy,
    @spacecowboy@androiddev.social avatar

    @grote @fdroidorg unattended upgrades will require root or?

    grote,
    @grote@chaos.social avatar

    @spacecowboy @fdroidorg No, just recent phone and recent apps.

    spacecowboy,
    @spacecowboy@androiddev.social avatar

    @grote @fdroidorg oh. that will be a killer feature

    @spacecowboy @grote @fdroidorg

    I believe it's the Android 13(?) feature that the storefront you originally installed an app from can do upgrades of the app without confirmation. Some of the other storefronts already support it, but it would be great to get it from F-Droid itself too.

    Does unattended here actually mean automatic, or merely not needing to confirm each app update?

    @aaravchen
    F-Droid will be able to do both (conditions apply).
