F-Droid APKs aren't synced with releases (lemmy.world)

I keep getting notified that I should upgrade my newpipe apk to a newer version through a url. F-Droid only has up to v0.25.2 but the latest is v0.26.1. It's been like that for >1w (the discrepancy), is this usual for F-Droid repos? Or something with my installation is wrong?

The official F-Droid repository has always been slow to update, I think there's a specific Newpipe repository that you can use instead.

I wonder if this is what I use, Newpipe always updates itself for me, not Fdroid.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

I think, NewPipe has an auto-updater built in, if you don't install it from an F-Droid repository.

Oh ya maybe, I may have just gotten the apk for it at the time. I really should keep better notes!

Yup, fdroid repo is slower paced probably for stability sake. If you want to keep up with the latest release I recommend using obtainium, it fetches the apk directly from the github.

That apk can check for updates itself, too

[-] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Yup, it didnt check newer versions before but I did notice the new update checking in newer versions ๐Ÿ‘

Version 0.26.1 (and 0.26.0) hasn't been published on F-Droid yet because it couldn't be reproduced (meaning that the app as built by F-Droid wasn't completely identical to the one published by the NewPipe team). The problem is tracked here:

Yes, you've already commented that and it's a good suggestion. Why did you need to write it twice?

[-] drakenblackknight@mastodon.online 3 points 5 months ago

@LIE

  1. I wasn't sure which account I typed out that comment on.
  2. Some people only look at one thread.

Is that a good enough answer?

[-] LIE@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

Sorry, I didn't see that you were on Mastodon, that explains it.

[-] drakenblackknight@mastodon.online 1 points 5 months ago

@LIE
No worries. I'm expanding my feeds to include more of ActivityPub (except Fakebook's most recent malware).

The main fdroid repo has always been slower and If you take a look at "this week in fdroid" There are a couple of notes about newpipe being out of sync So they are aware of it

@Scolding7300
I'm seeing 0.26.1 on F-Droid on my end. Try copying and pasting this into your repo list:

Thanks! Saw the repo on droidify and it upgraded it to 0.26.1
