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
