[DHIS2 - devs] [DHIS2 - users] DHIS2 repository for F-Droid (as application distribution channel).

Support - Assistance technique
1

Dear Community,

I am trying to use F-Droid as the main application distribution channel (Event Capture app., etc. ). But it appears that DHIS2 apps are not available from the general F-Droid repository.

I attempted to add a repository by following the listed guidelines http://ccm.net/faq/40543-f-droid-how-to-add-new-software-repositories. But it does not seem to work.

Here are few questions that I have:

  • Does DHIS2 have a signed repository for F-Droid?

  • Is there anyone in the community that has ever used F-Droid?

  • And what repository that was used or installed (how)?

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Jean Fabius

Hi Jean Fabius,

—Does DHIS2 have a signed repository for F-Droid?

DHIS2 Android does not have a signed F-droid repository.

You can get new versions of dhis2 android apps from google play.

---- Is there anyone in the community that has ever used F-Droid?

To control your version and deployments you have to get the apks that you wish to distribute to your users and create your own F-droid repositories. This is recommended and we have tested this in a number of use cases and it works fine.

— And what repository that was used or installed (how)?

We use F-Droid to deploy. To install you can find the instructions here:

https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/Setup_an_FDroid_App_Repo

also https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/Installing_the_Server_and_Repo_Tools (no need to install the code through git so you can skip that step)

Regards,

Ranga
