saying "download from fdroid" and pointing to your private repo is the shittiest thing anyone can do.
it's the same as linking to your .exe or .img and saying "get it from microsoft/apple". no it's not. you are just using those platforms ability to handle links and extension of functionality.
it is in no way the validation from those platforms that wording like they do imply
- NikkiA 2y agoI don't even understand what I'm supposed to do with that QR code, f-droid has no ability to add a repo from QR code that I can see, so I have to type in the fingerprint manually?
- newsclues 2y agoFor sounds like the right word not from.

- alex-futo 2y agoThe wording was not intentionally construed to imply anything of the sort. It's been updated now to say "with" instead of "from"
- MrOwen 2y agoWhat about software you download from a third party yum or apt repo? You would still say you're getting it from yum/apt, albeit not from a red hat or canonical hosted yum/apt repo. Same for f-droid. They're just called f-droid repos and the biggest repo that currently exists is also run by f-droid.
- Sateallia 2y agoThat's more on F-Droid, no? If someone said "Download from Cydia", I would not expect it to download it from Saurik's official repository called "Cydia/Telesphoreo". Using the same name for the app (store kit) and the repository is just a bad design choice, especially if the reference implementation comes with only the said repository.
