Version 1.20 of @fdroidorg brings some pretty big changes of how repositories are handled:
• official repo is always preferred
• the repo an app comes from is prominently shown
• if an app is available from more than one repo, you can choose where to get it from
• power users can change global repo priorities
If the app is available from more than one repository, the box in the app details screen becomes a drop-down where the user can see all repos and choose which one should be used for installation, updates and app information.
It is now possible to re-order the position of repositories in the list. The repo at the top has the highest priority while the repo at the bottom has the lowest priority. Only if an app is available from more than one repo, the priority matters.
For example, if NewPipe's repo was added and the user always wants to prefer apps from that repo, they can move it to the top. In older versions of F-Droid, newly added repos were implicitly granted higher priority than repos added before.
