Agreed, it is a good idea, sounds easy to me like a user. But I bet it is difficult to do and maintan. the gaurdian project repo is maintained by the gaurdian group AFAIK. who would want to maintain an Anti-feature repo? already sounds negative. There are more and more apps now on F-droid. so hopefully the main one won't look empty. But I think this should be mentioned in the redmine for f-droid. as a feature request. -- RichmondMakerlabs.uk Ham United Group
