Adding F-Droid Third-Party Repo to "Add App" search #1681

@martin-braun

Description

@martin-braun
  • Tab "Add App" lists "F-Droid Third-Party Repo (Searchable)" under "Supported Sources", so I assumed, I can add this somewhere, however
  • Search (Some Sources Only) would only allow me to pick "F-Droid Official"
  • As the documentation points out, I can search my third party source in "Import/Export"/"Search Source"/"F-Droid Third-Party Repo", this indeed works, but
  • My third party source will not be remembered. Say I want to add another app, I still need to grab the URL and paste it in

My intuition was searching for a way to add a third party repo, so that "Add App"/"Search (Some Sources Only)" would also allow me to pick "F-Droid Third-Party Repos" (missing) to search through my own repos that I added.

I think this would be a great addition to avoid so much confusion.

There are some possible solutions to the problem:

  • A section in the settings to maintain third party repositories for F-Droid
  • Remembering previously searched third party repositories and auto-search them under "Add App" - this would require to have any way to remove third party repositories again

Thoughts?
