Dacă ești din #Romania Ако сте от #Bulgaria #България, Ha te #Hungary #Magyarorszag, Ако сте из #Serbia #Србија, Ako si iz #Croatia #Hrvatska or from the #balkans, maybe you can help #FDroid.
We want to add mirrors in this area, thanks to great hosting companies that support #FLOSS.
We want 2 weeks to test:
https://mirrors.hostico.ro/fdroid/repo
https://ftp.lug.ro/fdroid/repo
https://mirrors.chroot.ro/fdroid/repo
paste each one in Client -> Settings/Repos -> Add repo button -> Manual insert -> Paste -> Add -> Add mirror
Are you a true #FDroid believer? Disable all the other mirrors for the next week or so, let's test these 3 mirrors properly! 😉
For any issue make sure to ping us: https://f-droid.org/about#contact
Most of the apps I used to get from F-Droid I get through Zapstore now, which basically grabs them directly from the developer's project server, such as GitHub or GitLab.
Zapstore publishes Nostr release events for apps where the developers don't release their own app over the Nostr protocol, so most apps that are available on F-Droid are available thanks to that.
F-Droid could do the same.
You don't host over Nostr, you publish and sign release events. The apps are hosted wherever. So F-Droid could sign and publish release events for your rebuilt and verified APKs.
As far as HTTP vs NOSTR, I don't know. Nostr runs over WSS and/or TOR, and is similar to RSS with enhanced features.
@firedragon #FDroid builds and verifies apps, we're not just copying APKs from Github. What's the advantage to also host on #Nostr over plain HTTPS and #IPFS ?
