fdroidcl

F-Droid desktop client.

This is not a replacement for the Android client. While the Android client integrates with the system with regular update checks and notifications, this is a command line client that talks to connected devices via ADB.

Commands

update              Update the index
list                List all available apps
search <regexp...>  Search available apps
show <appid...>     Show detailed info about an app
devices             List connected devices
installed           List installed apps

Missing commands

updates             List apps to update
install <appid...>  Install an app
upgrade <appid...>  Upgrade an app
remove <appid...>   Remove an app

Missing features

Index verification via jar signature
- Cannot be currently done since MD5WithRSA is unimplemented
Multi-repo support
Interaction with multiple devices at once

Advantages over the Android client

Command line interface
Batch install/update/remove apps without root nor system privileges
Handle multiple Android devices

What it will never do

Run as a daemon, e.g. periodic index updates
Graphical user interface
Act as an F-Droid server
Swap apps with devices running the Android client
