[Question] What does it mean F-Droid only

[angelog0]

I see you added F-Droid only to the 0.102 and 0.103 releases on GitHub page.

What does it mean? Who does not uses F-Droid, will see Termux upgraded?

[AbdullahM0hamed]

It means that the updates can only be acquired from F-Droid. The play store will not receive updates for the foreseeable future, due to play store now requiring app updates to target API 29 (Android 10) as per:

New apps and app updates (except Wear OS) must target Android 10 (API level 29) or higher.

which termux does not function on due to the new restrictions, which you can read about here: #1072

I installed Termux package from apkpure which, I think, uses G.Play package. Does this mean I cannot upgrade Termux any more? Can I migrate/upgrade in some manner? Which?

Shouldn't you remove the suggestion to install Termux from G.Play? I think I saw that on Termux wiki..

Can I migrate/upgrade in some manner?

By migrating from Google Play to F-droid it's recommended to create Termux Archive to transfer installations between Google play to f-droid, but if you want to clean upgrade, you don't need this step, but don't Install the F-droid version of Termux over Google Play version of Termux

Shouldn't you remove the suggestion to install Termux from G.Play? I think I saw that on Termux wiki..

In case Termux Users purchased Addons from Google play which invalidates it if you installed F-Droid version of Termux but installing Termux addons from google play as an example as if they have different signed keys

Just a note that, depending on the time schedule for implementation, it would be helpful to organise a way for curious visitors to work together to slowly move #1072 (which is hundreds of technical comments long) to a wiki page that summarises the options that were considered and which one was eventually chosen.
