Repository Overhaul in new Client 1.20

Repository Overhaul in new Client 1.20

Since the early days of
2010, F-Droid
is a repository of apps (not an app store). Its client app always
allowed to add third-party
repositories.
Today, there are hundreds of
repositories and we
are
improving
how the client app is handling those:

  • the official repository is preferred by default
  • the repository an app comes from is prominently shown
  • if an app is available from more than one repository, you can choose where
    to get it from
  • power users can change global repository priorities
  • archives are part of their main repository and not listed separately

Previously, if you added a new repository, it would get added with a higher
priority than the pre-added official F-Droid repository. This allowed the
newly added repository to override apps built by F-Droid. They could
alter the app description and offer their own versions of the app for
installation. With the new 1.20 release of the official F-Droid client app,
newly added repositories get added with a lower priority, so that the apps
from the F-Droid repository take precedence by default.

Furthermore, when tapping an app, the user sees the app details screen as
usual. However, now a new box at the top clearly shows the repository the
app comes from.

All information on that page including the versions of the app that are
considered for installation are provided by the repository that is shown in
the box at the top. This was only implicit and hard to discover before.

If the app is available from more than one repository, the box in the app
details screen becomes a drop-down where the user can see all repositories
and choose which one should be used for installation, updates and app
information.

The list of repositories available in the settings now has a defined order.
Before, repositories at the bottom implicitly had a higher priority than
those at the top. This was counter-intuitive and thus changed. Since
version 1.20, the repository at the top has the highest priority while the
repo at the bottom has the lowest priority. Users that upgrade from old
versions may find that the order of their repositories has reversed. This
is to not force the new behavior upon them, but to keep priorities how they
were before. Note that the position or priority of a repository only
matters if an app is available from more than one repo.

It is now also possible to re-order the position of repositories in the
list. For example, if NewPipe’s repo was added and the user always wants to
prefer apps from that repo, they can move it to the top.

Repositories can have an archive where old apps or old versions of apps
that are no longer relevant get moved to. Historically, these archives were
shown as regular repositories to the user. Now, they are no longer shown in
the list, but have moved to the details screen of each repository.

If, for some reason, you want to check the archive, you can enable it here.
For repositories that do not have an archive, enabling this will simply
fail.

All these changes are new in version 1.20 which goes through alpha and beta
stages before published for everyone. We encourage users to opt-in to beta
testing of F-Droid by visiting the app details screen of F-Droid itself,
then at the top right corner select the three dot menu and select “Allow
Beta Updates”. The final version 1.20 is already live, but will undergo
more testing until deemed suggested.

Microsoft’s official Windows performance boost app feels your PC is broken if you snub Bing

by
I didn’t know this was a thing, but apparently Microsoft offers a Windows tune-up application in the vein of things like CCleaner and similar tools. One of the things it does is protect users from applications that try and change default settings, and it seems the application takes this matter very seriously. Microsoft may be taking a bit of liberty with that last bit. It looks like the PC Manager feels your PC is broken and needs repair if you changed your default search engine from Bing. ↫ Sayan Sen at Neowin Setting aside just how defeatist it feels that the creator of Windows needs to make an application to keep Windows from falling over, I find it almost endearing just how hard Microsoft is trying to get users to choose Bing. If you’ve ever seen the Swedish film Fucking Åmål, it’s also very likely you remember the gut-wrenching, maximally cringe-inducing birthday party for main character Agnes where nobody shows up, while her mother, oblivious to just how deeply disliked Agnes is by her classmates, tries desperately to assure her daughter that people will show up. Director Lukas Moodysson takes no prisoners and drags out the scene to really maximise just how uncomfortably sad the whole thing is. It’s incredibly hard to watch. Well, Agnes is Bing, Microsoft is its mother, and nobody shows up to Bing’s birthday party either.

Tennis – Coupe Davis 2024 – Patrick Proisy et Éric Deblicker présentent le livre collector « La…

by
Patrick Proisy et Éric Deblicker au micro de Tennis Actu pour parler… Coupe Davis, “l’ancienne, la vraie” ! À l’heure où la Coupe Davis disparait peu à peu de nos préoccupations et du calendrier, il est intéressant de rappeler à quel point le tennis ne serait pas vraiment le même sans elle. Cette compétition a tout simplement posé les jalons du tennis moderne. Pour preuve, les 4 tournois du grand chelem ont pris racine chez les 4 premières nations ayant soulevé le saladier d’argent. Si c’est moins le cas de nos jours, la plupart des grandes carrières se sont articulées autour de la quête et de la conquête de cette coupe. Ce livre se concentre sur l’aventure française, qui n’est pas la moins captivante. Patrick Proisy et Éric Deblicker nous présentent ce livre collector « La France en Coupe Davis » – 120 ans d’histoire 1904-2023 écrit par Jean Couvercelle et Julien Pichené et édité par le Club France Coupe Davis qui regroupe l’ensemble des joueurs ayant défendu les couleurs de la France dans cette épreuve.

Promet Source: 9 Ways Drupal Keeps Government Sites Ahead of the Curve

by
Note: This blog was first published on February 2, 2021, and has been updated to reflect new information and insights.

Takeaway: Drupal is a powerful, open-source choice for government websites due to its advanced features and capabilities. It’s no secret that as an agency committed to bringing what’s new and next in the technology horizon to the public sector, we strongly advocate this choice.

We’re in good company concerning this advocacy:
