I wonder if the new f-droid overhaul catches up as neo is pretty fantastic. Edit, just looked at the screenshots, looks better than before but I'll stick with neo. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (4 children) Does Neo Store have a way to make apps only use the official F-Droid repo for updates unless you downloaded them from a different one? Because it seems to just want to update from any repo, so I ended up splitting F-Droid Basic for official F-Droid apps and Neo Store for IzzyOnDroid and other third party repos. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Kangae_Hishiryo@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 1 week ago (2 children) Yeah, if you manually select it in the app releases section. Of course, the thing is that it's only per app. Anyways, I prefer IzzyOnDroid because imho they have a better reproducible builds system. Neo Store also allows you to review the reproducible builds' status for every app, and also its download statistics (total and per repo). Also you can now maintain a local blocklist of apps you don't want or like to see. It's pretty neat. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago* (1 child) F-Droid has stricter requirements for apps to be listed so I prefer the official repo, for instance Aves on IzzyOnDroid has Google dependencies that Aves Libre on F-Droid doesn't have. IzzyOnDroid is my backup for some apps I want that aren't on F-Droid. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Kangae_Hishiryo@scribe.disroot.org 3 points 6 days ago That's fair. Although reproducible builds are something I truly love because these make auditing so much easy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] amlor@piefed.social 1 point 1 week ago Haven't noticed it doing that, maybe they fixed it?
