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
search <regexp...>    Search available apps
show <appid...>       Show detailed info about an app
devices               List connected devices
install <appid...>    Install an app
uninstall <appid...>  Uninstall an app

Missing commands

upgrade <appid...>  Upgrade 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
  • Do multiple tasks at once, for example:
    • Load the index and query installed packages via ADB

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
