Signal-Foss has been made redundant and has stopped development for years. They added push notifications on degoogled phones, but Signal added that themselves.
The CalyxOS repository is a smaller repo only preinstalled on CalyxOS phones and it’s really rarely added outside of Calyx phones. So I’m going to take a guess you’re running CalyxOS to have that on your fdroid. Which I love the CalyxOS project btw, I’ve used them for a number of years and did a few commits to the project.
To be fair both are small repositories, yes, but I managed to find them both when looking for a way to install Signal via F-Droid. And no, I’m not running CalyxOS, but a different degoogled ROM :)
But anyway, I just wanted to share these 2 sources since I saw the Signal / F-Droid discussion happening. It could be useful to someone. I don’t know enough to judge what option is better.
from what repo
moxie specifically made a statement that he refuses to support fdroid, it’s not in the fdroid repo
https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/127
don’t post misinfo
It’s still there. You said nothing about a specific repository. That’s not “missinfo”. How about you calm your rhetoric.
because it’s not in the fdroid or IzzyOnDroid repo… so explain
I showed you the creator of signal explicitly saying he refuses to support fdroid
Signal-FOSS is on the TwinHelix F-Droid repository https://fdroid.twinhelix.com/fdroid/repo/?fingerprint=7B03B0232209B21B10A30A63897D3C6BCA4F58FE29BC3477E8E3D8CF8E304028
Signal is on the CalyxOS F-Droid repository https://github.com/CalyxOS/calyx-fdroid-repo

I might be wrong, but TwinHelix’s Signal-FOSS seems to still be active, the latest update I found on their F-Droid repository and their GitHub is from yesterday: https://github.com/tw-hx/Signal-Android/releases/tag/v6.32.5.0-FOSS
