Consider having an Fdroid repository for Tor Project apks
We are having more applications publishing apks, and we distribute them through Googe Play and also in the optional repository of the Guardian Project: https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo/
This repository is made with Fdroid, and even if the setup is a bit involved, the maintenance of such repository is not so hard for the volume of packages that we have.
I think we should have a repository of our own!
- Users can add it to their Fdroid instance and receive update alerts etc.
- We could have our own Fdroid repository where to release betas, alphas, and stables of Tor VPN, Tor Browser for Android, and others.
- This repository could also be used to implement and verify test reproducibility of our software. Or simply copy the files and verify with apk signature.
- It can be mantained with gitlab and has nice gitlabCI runners similar to Renovabot, to alert when there is a new package. This alert system can be used as TorProject canonical android stuff.
