AutoName: Fake OTA Update
|
|
Summary: Tests whether OTA ZIP files are being include
|
|
Description: |-
|
|
F-Droid can make use of system privileges or permissions to
|
|
install, update and remove applications on its own. The only way to obtain those
|
|
privileges is to become a system app.
|
|
|
|
This is where the Privileged Extension comes in - being a separate app and much
|
|
smaller, it can be installed as a system app and communicate with the main app
|
|
via AIDL IPC.
|
|
|
|
This has several advantages:
|
|
|
|
* Reduced disk usage in the system partition
|
|
* System updates don't remove F-Droid
|
|
* The process of installing into system via root is safer
|
|
|
|
This is packaged as an OTA (Over-The-Air) update ZIP file. It must be installed
|
|
using TWRP or other Android recovery that can flash updates to the system from
|
|
the /data/data/org.fdroid.fdroid folder on the /data partition. The standalone
|
|
APK is called F-Droid Privileged Extension.
