Is the app abandoned? Why no updates even it have a tons of bugs?

The eternity for lemmy app have many bugs and almost everyone is reporting it correctly. But why the dev not giving the update to resolve the issues?

No, the app is not abandoned. I'm actually planning a release today, provided everything goes smoothly. This update will address several bugs that have been reported here and on the bug tracker.

I've also been in discussions with the F-Droid repo. They are also waiting for this new release, as this will introduce reproducible builds. Hopefully, this means the app can be published there soon.

Looking at the commits, the project looks very active: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Eternity/commits/branch/master

No? The dev responded to a thread here yesterday. If you want faster updates then you might want to try the nightly builds.

How do i get the nightly builds?

bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu · 8 pts · 2y (3 replies)

There are a few ways to get the nightly builds:

You can add the repo to F-Droid with this link: https://bazsalanszky.codeberg.page/fdroid/repo

You can also use Obtainium as described by this comment: https://lemmy.toldi.eu/comment/249655

Or you can download the apk directly from here: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/pages/raw/branch/main/fdroid/repo/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy.nightly.apk

The comment for the obtainium solution does not seem to work and that's the solution I would prefer. Could you maybe check it?

I see, the link to the comment only works on my account it seems. Here's the comment that the link pointed to:

Obtainium steps:

Tap the Add app icon near the bottom of the screen

Enter the new repo URL into the App source URL field: https://bazsalanszky.codeberg.page/fdroid/repo/

Change Override Source dropdown to F-Droid Third-Party Repo

Enter the nightly's App ID into the App ID or Name field:

eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy.nightly

Tap the Add button near the top right of the screen

I've just tested it, and it seems it still works.
