Hans-Christoph Steiner 5f26a78527 auto-disable preDexLibraries on CI systems
preDexing helps repeat builds run faster, but slows down builds that do
not have any caching.  CI builds start from scratch each time.  Turns
out that GitLab CI, Travis CI, Circle CI, and probably many others all
define the "CI" environment variable, so its easy to detect when running
in a CI environment.  This makes things a lot cleaner.

FAQ

  • Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?

Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.

  • Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?

This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
