This issue is here as a placeholder. We are discussing this in other development channels.

Implements support for waydroid in vso, this includes creating and deleting a waydroid container, as well as using fdroid repositories to install and search for applications.

    This is huge! Just integrating F-Droid into their mix package manager is really badass.

    Because the only good way to autoupdate the Android apps is from the PC host using waydroid app install. But F-Droids release images are totally random and also not as secure as using the API. Having repo support is waaay better.

          When F-Droid builds direct from repo, signs and downloads to your phone, is it really that different from pulling the APK directly from the original repo?

              But they need that because they are not the source, right? I feel like I’m missing something. Developer makes app on say, GitHub, how is going through F-Droid more trustworthy than the source?

          No, it gives the user the choice to pull whichever versions they want.
