Mathijs | I just read the Gdroid readme, and it claims that the F-droid client is no longer maintained:|
G-Droid is actively maintained (the F-Droid client is not any more)
| 00:42:36 |
Mathijs | maybe that should be fixed | 00:42:43 |

distopico | The people think (wrong) if an app don't generate release every day is not maintained | 02:17:18 |

izzy_ | Ah, that's what LjL referred to with this link: https://np.reddit.com/r/fdroid/comments/a6zokh/gdroid/ec0eiz5/?context=3 | 06:36:22 |
izzy_ | That guy claims a lot of stuff which isn't true, against better knowledge even. Disgracing. | 06:37:19 |

Mathijs | maybe we could just kindly ask him to rectify the readme | 10:35:35 |

Nico Alt | Mathijs: Worth a try. It evens says that in the app's description inside F-Droid:
G-Droid is actively maintained (the F-Droid client is not any more)
| 11:31:45 |
Mathijs | yeah, that's the line I would take most offence with | 11:32:04 |
Mathijs | (actually, I quoted it above 😉) | 11:32:20 |
_hc | I submitted a merge request | 12:03:08 |

Nico Alt | _hc: I admire your patience. | 14:17:56 |
Nico Alt | _hc: mirror-monitor is pretty cool! Here's another mirror that's missing from the list: https://fdroid.swedneck.xyz/fdroid/repo/ | 14:18:32 |
_hc | becoming a father of two boys is amazing way to find patience ;-) | 14:49:24 |
Mathijs | Just having the readme say 'g-droid is actively maintained' in the 'Additional features compared to F-Droid' still heavily suggests that the f-droid client isn't maintained | 16:11:28 |
Mathijs | so in that sense it doesn't really solve the problem | 16:12:06 |
Mathijs | I guess the author defines 'actively maintained' a bit weird? the f-droid client had its last commig 9 hours ago, so that can't be it | 16:13:23 |
Mathijs | maybe he means that there aren't new versions every week or so? | 16:13:36 |

Marcus (old) | Mathijs: well, I kind of agree with him. As in there's no one continuously working on fdroidclient. I.e. general bug fixes, improvements. | 16:19:07 |
Marcus (old) | Hans said he'll always be able to make time for security related stuff and he's also working on some grants developing specific features. But there is no real maintainer, for a certain definition of that term. | 16:20:15 |
