Description

I had a discussion with _hc on OFTC#guardianproject about F-Droid repository pinning (and the problems of having I2P apps in two repositories with different keys), and he pointed out that reproducible builds are much easier to do now. He recommends changing our main F-Droid build to be done reproducibly, which would involve changing its signing key and asking old users to reinstall. Based on ​install numbers, this is currently very small, and so is definitely doable.
