Re: [DHIS2 - devs] [DHIS2 - users] DHIS2 repository for F-Droid (as application distribution channel).

 

Hi Jean Fabius,

---Does DHIS2 have a signed repository for F-Droid?

DHIS2 Android does not have a signed F-droid repository.

You can get new versions of dhis2 android apps from google play.

---- Is there anyone in the community that has ever used F-Droid?

To control your version and deployments you have to get the apks that you
wish to distribute to your users and create your own F-droid repositories.
This is recommended and we have tested this in a number of use cases and it
works fine.

--- And what repository that was used or installed (how)?

We use F-Droid to deploy. To install you can find the instructions here:

https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/Setup_an_FDroid_App_Repo

also https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/Installing_the_Server_and_Repo_Tools (no
need to install the code through git so you can skip that step)

Regards,

Ranga
