The fdroid maintainers are... Less than competent. I recommend anybody not to use the main repo at all if they care about security, as any update could take weeks to arrive.
- codetrotter 5y agoProbably they are just overworked and understaffed. Possibly also lacking money for more/beefier build-servers?
- SubzeroCarnage 5y agoF-Droid maintainers are solely a volunteer effort. The CI helps a lot. The biggest slowdown in the chain is the manual offline signing step.

- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoThat's a bold claim to make without something to back it up; care to share what warrants a rating of incompetent?
- 0xdeadb00f 5y agoThe maintainers aren't really the problems - it's their, long and silly build process + schedule. Updates are _always_ at least three days behind, because their build schedule is set in stone and they refuse to change it.
