fdroid: add Binaries + rotate signing key for reproducible build - #5
Merged
Conversation
…build Address linsui's F-Droid review: add the `Binaries` URL pattern pointing at our own signed release APK so F-Droid can byte-compare its from-source build against it (the reproducible-build reference), paired with the existing `AllowedAPKSigningKeys`. Rotate `AllowedAPKSigningKeys` to the new signing cert (353db8b0…a1dd) after regenerating the release keystore with a strong passphrase and backing it up. Document the Binaries<->release.yml coupling in CLAUDE.md. Note: the fdroiddata copy of the recipe still needs the same change, and v2.0.3 must be re-released so its published APK is signed with the new key.

The fdroiddata copy (MR !41663) uses `Browser`; align the in-repo reference copy so the two stay in sync per CLAUDE.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Addresses linsui's F-Droid review comment: "Please add Binaries or binary and AllowedAPKSigningKeys for reproducible build."
Changes
Binaries— adds the URL pattern for our own signed release APK (.../releases/download/v%v/DeBurrow-v%v.apk). This is the reproducible-build reference: F-Droid downloads the developer-signed APK and byte-compares it against its own from-source build. Combined withAllowedAPKSigningKeys, this is what makes the build "verified reproducible".AllowedAPKSigningKeys— rotated to the new signing cert (353db8b0…a1dd). The release keystore was regenerated with a strong passphrase and backed up safely (addressing linsui's second point about keeping the key safe).Binaries↔release.ymlcoupling.Follow-ups (outside this repo)
Binaries+AllowedAPKSigningKeyschange into thefdroiddatarecipe (the copy F-Droid actually reads).v2.0.3so the published APK at theBinariesURL is signed with the new key (the current asset predates the key rotation).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
