This Week in F-DroidTWIF curated on Friday, 05 Dec 2025, Week 49F-Droid coreSince F-Droid is an Android “package manager”, we advise users to “use the F-Droid client to get timely updates and info on new apps” as, foremost, we want to provide the best experience on the device itself. The website is for convenience only and as the obvious entry point to install the mentioned client. As such, our focus was much more on having a good feature-full client after the user used the website.We’ve developed our website at a slower pace than our other projects, first of all because it was already working relatively fine, limiting our improvements only to stream line it (remember the sidebar issues?) or applying fixes, but also because we didn’t have contributors specialized in Ruby and Jekyll to know all their gotchas. In the last year several F-Droid fans stepped up and helped close some of our older pain points. Recently @ray2c fixed our 404 error pages not respecting selected locale and fixed Fediverse post previews mixups. Reproducible builds got a bit of love back in May but users wanted for a long time to see at a glance if the packages are signed by the upstream developer or by F-Droid, and now they can.The website generation uses the older index-v1 repository format and has the advantage of extra processing power and time to create the pages, while the client switched to the newer index-v2 format for the last 3 years and needs to run on device as fast and as slim as possible. There’s work in progress to update the website to the newer format and also bring this information to the client in your hands.Community NewsOn November 15, Dr. Lucas Lasota of FSFE, presented a talk about the impact of the EU Digital Market Act on Free Software.
