Hello everyone!

I have some news for you! I’ve set up an F-Droid repository for Infinity for Lemmy’s nightly builds.

What are nightly builds?

Nightly builds are the result of an automated process that compiles the current state of the source code every day. The resultant APK file is then signed and uploaded to a separate F-Droid repository.

Why?

This will allow both me and others to test features and fixes that have been implemented but are yet to be “officially” released. Official releases will remain in the form of releases on codeberg.

How to Add the Repository?

To test out these nightly builds and stay updated, you can add the new F-Droid repository by using the following link:

https://bazsalanszky.codeberg.page/fdroid/repo/

Once you’ve added this repository, you’ll be able to access and install the nightly builds directly from F-Droid.

    Nightly just installs as a separate instance with no subscription.

    The release version is intact, not updated.

    Is it intended behaviour?

          Nightly builds are made for testing, so developers and users can test some implemented features, sometimes tings could break, and the app not work at all.

          Users should continue using stable versions, and use nightly only for test new features and report new bugs, you should use nightly as main driver.
