# F-Droid - Overview
- https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/com.b44t.messenger.yml
contains the descripion and all meta data shown for Delta Chat on F-Droid
- <https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/com.b44t.messenger.yml>
contains the description and all meta data shown for Delta Chat on F-Droid;
you can also check if F-Droid recognizes a new version here (they show up at the end)
- when a new tag in the form `v1.2.3` is added to the deltachat-android repo,
F-Droid will pick up this version and distribute it -
this may take some days or even weeks.
before creating a new version, please have a look at docs/release-checklist.md
- new versions are recognized by tags in the form `v1.2.3` -
before adding tags like that, have a look at `docs/release-checklist.md`
the build and distribution is expected to take
[up to 5 days](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/FAQ#how-long-does-it-take-for-my-app-to-show-up-on-website-and-client).
# F-Droid Build status
- <https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/com.b44t.messenger/lastbuild>
shows the last build attempt
- <https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds>
shows F-Droid's overall build status,
if Delta Chat shows up at "Need updating" or "Running",
things are working as expected :)
- <https://f-droid.org/repo/com.b44t.messenger_VERSIONCODE.apk>
(with VERSIONCODE = 537 or so) links to successfully built apk
even if it is not yet in the index (which may take some more time).
F-Droid keeps the last 3 successful builds in the main repo,
while the rest will be moved to the Archive repo:
<https://f-droid.org/archive/com.b44t.messenger_VERSIONCODE.apk>
