    I’ve published a new release. Why is it not in the repository? When we detect a new release, it may take a few days to make it into the repository as the build process has several steps and runs only once a day. Before the build has completed, the monitor page for your app will list it in F-Droid Monitor - Need updating. As long as the text under Versions stating “The current (recommended) version is xxx (version code yyy)” shows the version numbers corresponding to your latest release, we detected it and the APK should be available soon. Just give it some time.

    Another reason could be that the app failed to build. You can watch the build process on F-Droid Monitor - Running and the previous cycle in Build.


    Also https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/FAQ#how-long-does-it-take-for-my-app-to-show-up-on-website-and-client

    How long does it take for my app to show up on website and client? Your MR has just been merged, but the APK did not show up immediately? That’s normal: the APK must first be built on the build server (happens automatically when the next build cycle starts), then signed (manual step), then a new index must be created and deployed.

    a build cycle currently can take up to 72h (hard limit)

    apps are manually signed after that (if not reproducible), and then uploaded next build cycle starts after signing is completed

    So if you’re lucky, it takes 3 days (new build cycle just started minutes after the merge). If you’re not-that-lucky (merge happened a minute after a build cycle started), it will take 6 days. If you’re very unlucky, Murphy visits in between with some problems… So don’t panic before 7 days have passed, please. 😉 Please also note that the website is updated asynchronously – so while the index might already have reached your local client, website might still be a bit behind.






  • They only killed the old tach off cuz the masses moved in, in the early days (think dialup) you had only the tech savvy online. You had to wait for everything, email, blogs, news the lot. Then the alway on internet landed and all that stopped, now you can reach anyone anywhere. all the non-tech savvy joined and the mega corps saw the rich gold mine.

    The real issue is the lack of tech savvy people making small sites, the mega corps have the platforms and thats where everyone went. Its cheap and easy to be on a mega platform then to run your own site, anyone who does run a site will not see much traffic as its hidden by the big names
