If you're talking about https://fdroid.eutopia.cz/, I don't think that's the same thing. This isn't Moxie's and because of the name change, not completely moxie's code unless he's got a build flag for changing the name everywhere, not sure. I download things from F-Droid, mostly for convenience and security since I get notified about updates, but I understand it is another person/group I need to trust. I trust, for whatever reason, that they will build directly from source and update frequently. Ways this could go, as I see it: 0. Moxie's code, moxie's build, Google's repo - The current way I know of getting moxie's build, but you have to trust Google as well. 1. Moxie's code, moxie's build, moxie's repo - I think this would be best, and what I was talking about. 2. Moxie's code, fdroid'd build, fdroid's repo - what I would also like, but moxie publicly discourages unofficial builds so fdroid doesn't want to touch it. Up to them. 2b. Moxie's code, moxie's build, fdroid's repo - a hypothetical some people have floated, but fdroid won't host binaries they haven't built from source and I don't blame them and moxie wouldn't provide an official build outside of Gplay either way. 3. Moxie's code modified with new name by 3rd party, 3rd party's build, 3rd party's repo - eutopia.cz's build and repo. Another person to trust to build correctly and update frequently I don't think it's just some people being angry. I think things could be better, but it doesn't sound like they will. Moxie wants F-Droid to provide services similar to what GPServices provides before he'll do 1. F-Droid will never do this(hopefully). So we have to live with 0 or 3. I think scenario 1 > 3 > 0, other people think otherwise. Isn't FOSS fun? |
