 linsui | Of F-Droid? | 06:02:40 |
| linsui | custom repository.? | 06:02:59 |
| linsui | Or everyone? | 06:03:05 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | > Of F-Droid? | 06:03:27 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Yes | 06:03:27 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | It means you have the code that fdroid uses to host, so you can host too. | 06:03:53 |
| linsui | Got it. But I thought it's misleading. | 06:06:09 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Why? | 06:06:26 |
| linsui | And third-party is supported because F-Droid is desiged as that. | 06:06:45 |
| linsui |
Everyone can set up a custom repository. Like the apps F-Droid distributes, all its code is free and libre, too.
This sounds like all the code if the custom repository is free and libre.

| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | It's not about that | 06:07:51 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Nope, it only talks about fdroid and fdroid code. | 06:08:24 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | > Everyone can set up a custom repository with whatever inside. Like the apps F-Droid distributes, all the code allowing you to host is free and libre, too. | 06:09:29 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | There's a dot separating the two ideas :) | 06:10:01 |
| linsui | Yes, because there is a dot, I don't know what this sentence what to talk about. I feel that suddenly it tells me something is free but I don't know why it says that so I don't know what it talks about. | 06:11:49 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Not sure I follow... | 06:30:43 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | "You can setup repos DOT The code is free DOT" | 06:31:11 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Where's the confusion? | 06:31:11 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | _Lost in translation_ :) | 06:31:40 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | It talks about how _fdroid hosts, YOU can host TOO, look, the code is free!_ | 06:32:22 |
| linsui | In reply to @_oftc_Licaon_Kter[xmpp]:matrix.org
It talks about how _fdroid hosts, YOU can host TOO, look, the code is free!_ Yes, I understand. But it doesn't say what code is free so I'm confused at the first glance. | 06:33:44 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | The fdroid code to host is free, that's the "its" | 06:34:30 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | _You can host too because the code that allows you to do it is free too_ | 06:35:20 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | But I'm repeating myself from above. | 06:35:51 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | I guess the confusion is about "fdroid", is it hard to understand "you can have your own fdroid" in the text? | 06:36:53 |
| linsui | When it says that custom repo can be setup, the first thing came into my mind is that F-Droid supports third-party repo. Well, this is mostly a client-side feature. With this in my mind, I find that it talks about some code. Ok, so it's not related to F-Droid. Then what's "it"? I'm confused here. When I re-read the sentence, I found that maybe the "it" means the F-Droid in the same sentence. | 06:39:02 |
| linsui | I didn't get the point that one can setup a repo because the code is free. Well, even if the code is not free, one can setup a repo. And even if the code is free, third-party repo may be not supported. | 06:41:10 |
