App Updater library from F-Droid Update Channels is ready for Zom!

[eighthave]

The official F-Droid method for apps to update themselves is now ready for Zom to include! We're calling the library suite "F-Droid Update Channels". The specific library you're looking for is "App Updater" aka org.fdroid.appupdater. When there is an F-Droid repo for Zom, then this library automates the process of prompting the user to install new updates if they do not have another update channel, like Google Play or F-Droid.

This is the first version, so we're eager for feedback. @commonsguy created this, but it will be maintained as an F-Droid project: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/update-channels

@eighthave is this available as a gradle dependency somewhere?

[eighthave]

it is not yet. I guess I was waiting for some feedback before making a proper release like that. I can do it.

[n8fr8]

Either way is fine. Just checking. I can work with it as is.

[eighthave]

ok, let me know if it works for you, then I can make a proper release to maven central or whatever.
