Can you say more about what you mean by "mostly" here? We release to the Play Store immediately when we tag a release! Maybe you mean that there can be useful work in beta or otherwise merged that's not yet published?
Yes, I believe there are a couple of libraries that make it ineligible for F-Droid. See https://github.com/getodk/collect/issues/5625 for details about a similar repository. If you're up for checking whether the F-Droid requirements might be less strict, that'd be fantastic. If not, I think we should get the version from 2013 removed.
You could produce a fork that strips some of those libraries out but you'd have to also change the way location is captured.
By 'most up to date' I meant that it's the location with the most up to date releases.
Sorry for the bad wording!
Thanks for clarifying
It would be quite a big burden to maintain a fork with very little gain.
I was mostly wondering if the releases can be made available on another source than Google Play.
Sorry for the bad reading, how did I make "most" into "mostly"?!
Hopefully the Github releases work for you for sideloading but if not, it'd be helpful to understand your use case in a bit more detail. Are you using devices that don't have the Play Store or maybe using a Mobile Device Management solution or something like that?
