Are there any repos worth adding?
IzzyOnDroid
\ BitWarden
\ GuardianProject
\ GuardianProject Wind Offline
\ CollaboraOffice
\ KDE Android Stable
\ KDE Android Unstable
\ Newpipe
\ Cryptomator
\ MicroG
\ DivestOS
\ Bromite
\ Cromite (Bromite Fork with newer releases)
Bromite is highly outdated. I strongly recommend either adding the Cromite repo, or the DivestOS repo for their Mull or Mulch.
Thank-you for this.
I've been using FDroid for some years but rarely see a list like this.
Izzy, bitwarden, newpipe, collabora office
The Izzy repo may be popular but with getting more than 1000 apps in that repo which are also in the main F-Droid repo I've been hesitant to add it. What happens when Izzy repo has a newer version than the F-Droid repo ? The main F-Droid repo goes for reproducible builds and checks for closed source software and more. Izzy repo downloads from the app upstream, does a malware check and that is all it seems.
All F-Droid Clients won't install the IzzyOnDroid version if you have the F-Droid one installed already because the signatures won't match, it's a basic Android security feature.
\ IzzyOnDroid is actually a bit stricter than that, see IzzySoft Fdroid Index Info & IzzySoft Fdroid Inclusion Policy.
