(Help wanted) UpgradeAll
Front note:
This app tries to provide a solution for such a case. Imagine, now if someone wants to update apps only provided on GitHub (or other sources without a decent client for automatic update), these options are available:
-
Manually check and download from GitHub.
-
Request collection maintainers like Izzy for inclusion.
-
Host one's own crawler or whatever script for such a dull task.
All of them are somewhat complicated, whereas this app solves the problem with easy configuration (a few lines for each new app) and rapid deployment. I think it's helpful and referenceable for other similar and related projects focusing on app updating (like ApkTrack and APKUpdater @rumboalla) and distributing (like F-Droid or SkyDroid @xxredsolverxx @redsolver). Actually this app has the potential capability to cover most sources that other similar projects has supported now (plus also some unique ones), and the support list is already long enough now. They mentioned F-Droid inclusion in their to-do list, but it seems they need some help for progress (mainly about removing proprietary Google components). So I post here looking for anyone (maybe @linhui @Poussinou or @proletarius101, sorry and ignore if you don't want, and anyone passing-by is welcome) who is interested and able to communicate with the devs to push forward the F-Droid inclusion (unfortunately I'm unable to contact them myself because I don't have access to a valid GitHub account or other mentioned platforms like Tencent QQ and Telegram that they use).
-
The app complies with the inclusion criteria -
The app is not already listed in the repo or issue tracker. - [?] The original app author has been notified (and does not oppose the inclusion).
-
Donated to support the maintenance of this app in F-Droid.
