New app: Torrent Player

Adds Torrent Player (webtor.app) 2.0.0 (23), an Android torrent downloader with streaming and completed-file playback through external media players. Supports arm64-v8a.

Source and review follow-up

The recipe now pins 92b1a9914c17d0fb03cd6577ce889faf66cc2cd9, a metadata/documentation-only descendant of the released v2.0.0 source 5cfbdc1e8a1d9672c969ffbf4a215217d99477a0. All Android/Go application source, dependencies and build inputs are unchanged. The release tag and GitHub reference APK remain unchanged.

  • Expanded Fastlane description to disclose automatic tracker-list downloads from GitHub/ngosang, daily refresh and failure retries, up to 24 supplemental public trackers for non-private torrents, and WebRTC/STUN servers at Google, Twilio and Cloudflare. Explains IP exposure and the absence of opt-out controls in 2.0.0. Private torrents are excluded from supplemental trackers.
  • Clarified the no-tracking claim as no advertising trackers, analytics or telemetry.
  • Added fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/23.txt for 2.0.0.
  • Updated this description from 1.4.5 to 2.0.0.
  • Optional network controls and the stale 1.4.5 HTTP/handshake identification are deferred to a future application release. This metadata update does not change runtime behavior.
  • Documented the future-release gate: build in the matching F-Droid environment, sign with the existing release key, scan and reproduce the signed candidate before publication. Do not replace already distributed release assets to repair comparison failures.

Required

  • The app complies with the inclusion criteria
  • The original app author has been notified (and does not oppose inclusion)
  • All related fdroiddata and RFP issues have been referenced (no separate RFP found)
  • Builds with fdroid build and the updated metadata-only submission pipeline passes
  • An issue tracker and author contact are available
  • Upstream metadata uses Fastlane structure
  • Releases are tagged and auto update is enabled

Validation

The prior 2.0.0 recipe passed pipeline 2858040818, including reproducible binary verification. The metadata-only revision passed all nine jobs in pipeline 2910503829: metadata rewrite/lint, schema, scripts, redirect, update check, source scan, source build with successful reproducible comparison against the existing signed reference APK, and APK scan.

On-device testing remains pending. F-Droid maintainers control acceptance, signing and publication.
