NewPipe is no longer maintained on F-droid?

NewPipe on F-droid hasn’t been updated for a while. The last update was 0.20.1 while the app is on 0.20.6 now. The F-droid version doesn’t work. NewPipe devs are offering their own repo to use on F-droid now days.

I think the /e/ app store should maintain their own package now.

F-Droid has honestly been slow for years, any app update taking at least multiple days to show up.

2 months is surprisingly long though…

The reason they are slow is because they read the source code, build & publish them similar to package maintainers on any Linux OS.

NewPipe has definitely not being published anymore.

@manoj should this be a gitlab issue or should I email “support@e.email” as mentioned on https://doc.e.foundation/apps ?

“Don’t think there’s anyone working on this, export your data and import it is Newpipe Legacy or add their repo, uninstall this version, install from theirs.” - Licaon_Kter

What I did is add the Newpipe repository to F-droid in order to have the updates as soon as they are added by the Newpipe team. Here is the how-to : https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
