F-Droid Release Legit? #39

Closed Francewhoa closed 3 years ago

Francewhoa commented 3 years ago

Hello @miracle2k :) Is this f-droid release legit at https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts/ In other words, did you publish this autostarts on F-Droid? Or did someone with Evil behavior did a fake release on F-Droid? I'm asking this for security prevention and before using the F-Droid release.

If this F-Droid release is legit, I suggest updating this "README.md" file at https://github.com/miracle2k/android-autostarts#readme By adding a URL to https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts/ So that user can validate that this F-Droid release is legit.

@Francewhoa :) This is a note to myself. https://archive.md/bNkSP

It is a community / third party release, which I am thankful for, but can't necessarily vouch for.

Hi @miracle2k. How come you don't simply publish a compiled apk on your releases page, as does MuntashirAkon on his releases page?

miracle2k commented 3 years ago

@LeeBinder No good reason - it would make a lot of sense.

LeeBinder commented 3 years ago

Since apks are android packages and to differentiate them from your source code releases, maybe it would make most sense to supply your compiled apk(s) here at ../packages rather than ../releases?

Thanks for your reply @miracle2k :) Done I contributed both a patch and a pull request at https://github.com/miracle2k/android-autostarts/pull/41
