Adding other repos that have nothing to do with f-droid has nothing to do with f-droid... calling 3rd party repos f-droid just because you are able to add them to their app is disingenuous and shows a lack of understanding of what f-droid actually is.

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.

That is the first sentence on their official site.

Fdroid is just a program that lets you download apps from repos. Why would an Fdroid repo have nothing to do with Fdroid?

That is the first sentence on their official site. Again, just because they have an app that allows you to add other repos doesn't mean those other repos are a part of f-droid... they are not, and it's absolutely ridiculous to say otherwise.

Because those other repos are not f-droid repos, they are 3rd party repos that have nothing to do with f-droid. Just because you can add them to the f-droid app doesn't mean they then become f-droid repos. I use droidify, and I can add any repo to it that I want including f-droid, but that doesn't mean that all the repos I add to it then become droidify repos.

You misunderstand how package managers work.

Your aggressive tone is predictably inappropriate considering your failure at applying simple logic. You would only have a partial excuse if you're 11y/o or something.

There is f-droid the app store, and f-droid.org's main repo. See, it's not that hard.

just because they have an app that allows you to add other repos doesn’t mean those other repos are a part of f-droid

And that app is called... get it?

Because those other repos are not f-droid repos

Repos made to work in the f-droid app are not f-droid repos... wow

Is the f-droid.org's archive repo not an f-droid repo, too. lol.

Please tell me you're not an adult!

The thing is, you started on the right track:

Sync is not open source and Fdroid only allows open source.

Here, you are on the right. And you could have followed up later by simply pointing out that "Will it be released to F-Droid" usually means "Will it be on f-droid.org's FOSS-only main repo", but you decided to rant some weird incoherent shit, and insisted on dying on a hell of straws instead!

Lmao, is that a projection of some sort? Are you able to read the tone of your reply to me? Yeah, don't cast stones if you live in a glass house my guy. You are a hypocrite at best... I won't attack you any further.

The repos made to work with f-droid are f-droid compatible repos... they are not f-droid repos. There is only one f-droid repo, and that is their actual, official repo. All other 3rd party repos, are f-droid compatible repos. I'm so sorry you can't follow this basic logic... it's outlined on their official site... unless you can show me on their official site where they refer to 3rd party repos directly as "f-droid repos" then you're the one that struggles with simple logic.

fdroid compatible repo != fdroid repo
