nightly builds in F-Droid repo?

[js290]

Is it possible to have the nightly builds added to the NewPipe F-Droid repo?

[XiangRongLin]

Preface: I have never released to F-Droid.

As far as I know there are manual steps in the current release process to F-Droid. So those would first need to be automized before this can be achieved.

See https://f-droid.org/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/
I guess we should be able to steal copy some existing scripts to create nightly F-Droid repos without a big effort

You can just run fdroidserver to set up a repository if you handle the secrets correctly. That will be the major challenge.

[js290]

Could the nightly (or some shorter interval alpha/beta) build simply be part of the official upstream repo?

[TheAssassin]

Too much effort. The upstream repository is maintained manually. We do not intend to set up some automated process for it. If any, a separate repository may be set up.

I managed to setup an experimental F-Droid repo that contains NewPipe-nightly:
