Coordinating a raid on our issue tracker because we decided to use a different app distribution mechanism than F-Droid is unacceptable. We have valid technical reasons for not using F-Droid. In the past, we were fine with them packaging our apps but now we really aren't anymore.

You should be ashamed of yourself and apologize. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe. Triage notifications on the go with GitHub Mobile for iOS or Android.

I'm just an end user. I wonder where are all these attacks? And how does one know its official from the fdroid team and not just "people on the internet" Its sad to see this hatred in the com

We explained our reasoning for needing to make a new app repository system to one of our community members on Twitter. This is not a reasonable or acceptable response from one of their project members. It isn't going to silence us from explaining the reasoning behind decisions.

...We'll be collaborating with other projects on these efforts. There will be other repositories using the system we plan on developing and some of those intend to provide a full alternative to F-Droid.” Is it what you're talking about here or only a GrOS based repository?

It's not the context for what happened. I posted comments in the thread on GitLab about packaging Auditor after this happened as our response to it. Removing the fastlane metadata we were asked to add for F-Droid and requesting they avoid publishing our apps is our response.

I wasn't talking about the issue on GitLab. I was only interested in this particular statement and wanted to know if “needing to make a new app repository system” relates to this. Thanks.
