minus-squarehansolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 month agoWTF, why is the download on the Fdroid front page still giving me 1.3.2?
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-21 month agoCould be a gradual rollout. Edit: saw it’s actually still a beta (and probably this is why it doesn’t show), here’s a link for the APK: https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid_2000050.apk
minus-squarehansolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoFrom the website apk download link?
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoI don’t know, could be. I just tried downloading and I’m getting the 1.x version too.
minus-squareIgris@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 month agoYeah me too. Edit: just like WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works said you’ll find it by searching f-droid on f-droid.org, scroll down to version 2.0 and download the apk.
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 month agoAh, right. It’s still tagged as beta, maybe that’s why it doesn’t appear in other places (like in the news article on their site). Thanks for the tip. Edit: direct link to said beta version.
minus-squareHadriscus@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoyea I can’t figure out how to update either.
minus-squareKyden Fumofly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 month agoI use droid-ify. It didn’t pop any updates for F-droid, but I updated it manually, since the 2.0 version is there.
minus-squareHadriscus@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI downloaded the apk directly from the website and it still installs 1.3.2 or whatnot, what am I doing wrong ?
minus-squareKyden Fumofly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 month agotry to browse it in the repo.
minus-squareWhyJiffie@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoopen the app’s page and expand versions. the last one was just not marked recommended yet, in case there are serious bugs
minus-squareHadriscus@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoFound it ! https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/ I had to go through the Gitlab, browse to “client” (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient ), and scroll down to the readme section to find the link.
minus-squareWhyJiffie@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoI think you can get to it also by searching “f-droid” inside f-droid
minus-squareHadriscus@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agooh wow I can install f-droid from f-droid ? nooice
minus-squarehansolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoAh, for me it was labeled “unstable updates.”
