nightly builds in F-Droid repo?
Is it possible to have the nightly builds added to the NewPipe F-Droid repo?
Preface: I have never released to F-Droid.
As far as I know there are manual steps in the current release process to F-Droid. So those would first need to be automized before this can be achieved.
See https://f-droid.org/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/ I guess we should be able to ~~steal~~ copy some existing scripts to create nightly F-Droid repos without a big effort
You can just run fdroidserver to set up a repository if you handle the secrets correctly. That will be the major challenge.
Could the nightly (or some shorter interval alpha/beta) build simply be part of the official upstream repo?
Any update
Too much effort. The upstream repository is maintained manually. We do not intend to set up some automated process for it. If any, a separate repository may be set up.
I managed to setup an experimental F-Droid repo that contains NewPipe-nightly: https://litetex.github.io/fdroid-pages
Code is available here: https://github.com/litetex/fdroid-pages and it's hosted on GitHub pages
