GrapheneOS discredited them

>It's not a theoretical problem. There have been numerous cases of F-Droid reintroducing vulnerabilities patched by apps and breaking the security of apps. F-Droid also rarely every notices when apps make changes they consider a problem prior to publishing the updates but rather they mark their list of anti-features or patch the app retroactively. It's only when an app very openly does something detected by their basic scanning that they'll deal with it prior to publication. It's a misconception that it provides any protection from app developers since they publish whatever is published by app developers unless they did something like including a closed source library detected by their scans, which can be tested by someone malicious in advance. Multiple F-Droid core developers have also repeatedly covered up vulnerabilities, misled people about how things work and other actions demonstrating it isn't trustworthy.

Isn't the maker of GrapheneOS the same guy that created CoppheadOS, which is another security focused android spinoff that sells user data?
I'm sure he's trustworthy now with the Google titan blobs though.

https://grapheneos.org/history/copperheados#new-product

>The new product branded as CopperheadOS is closed source and not associated with the original project. They took our project's previous name and copied our legacy source code and documentation. Attribution to us has been stripped away and they pretend to be the ones who created it.

>They've essentially stolen the identity of our open source project and have invested substantial resources into misrepresenting GrapheneOS as being a new project. They've built a business based on taking credit for research and development not done by them. Substantial damage has been done to GrapheneOS through an organized campaign of misinformation and harassment.

>CopperheadOS is a paid product and has license enforcement compromising user privacy and security through tracking devices to implement DRM. They use the outrageous business model of charging users for security updates rather than simply selling them the software or devices with it.

extreme security is not the point of fdroid

And he harvested their data. Neat.

>>107586730
So Copperhead was basically set up as an LLC. Daniel Micay was the lead dev, James Donaldson was the CEO. James started doing some shady deals, Daniel sperged out and revoked all the keys, killing the original project. He then started Graphene. Daniel is a massive sperg and a drama queen, but up to this point there are no reasons to question his integrity.

Don't you just hate it when they rarely every notice? Fiends!

I don't know, I treat f-droid like distros, I want to be as close to upstream as possible. So do you want to daily drive Arch or CachyOS?
>Then just get the apks.
no, some apps arent even packaged, just like on linux, distro maintainer have to package them.
