### What is F-Droid?
applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse,
install, and keep track of updates on your device.
-### Installing
-
-Note that only Python 3 is supported. We recommend version 3.4 or later.
-
-The easiest way to install the `fdroidserver` tools is on Ubuntu, Mint or other
-Ubuntu based distributions, you can install using:
-
- sudo apt-get install fdroidserver
-
-For older Ubuntu releases or to get the latest version, you can get
-`fdroidserver` from the Guardian Project PPA (the signing key
-fingerprint is `6B80 A842 07B3 0AC9 DEE2 35FE F50E ADDD 2234 F563`)
-
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guardianproject/ppa
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install fdroidserver
-On OSX, `fdroidserver` is available from third party package managers,
-like Homebrew, MacPorts, and Fink:
-
- brew install fdroidserver
-
-For Arch-Linux is a package in the AUR available. If you have installed
-`yaourt` or something similiar, you can do:
+### Installing
- yaourt -S fdroidserver
+There are many was to install _fdroidserver_, they are documented on
+the website:
+https://f-droid.org/docs/Installing_the_Server_and_Repo_Tools
-For any platform where Python's `easy_install` is an option (e.g. OSX
-or Cygwin, you can use it:
+All sorts of other documentation lives there as well.
- sudo easy_install fdroidserver
-Python's `pip` also works:
+### Drozer Scanner
- sudo pip3 install fdroidserver
+There is a new feature under development that can scan any APK in a
+repo, or any build, using Drozer. Drozer is a dynamic exploit
+scanner, it runs an app in the emulator and runs known exploits on it.
-The combination of `pyvenv` and `pip` is great for testing out the
-latest versions of `fdroidserver`. Using `pip`, `fdroidserver` can
-even be installed straight from git. First, make sure you have
-installed the python header files, venv and pip. They should be
-included in your OS's default package manager or you can install them
-via other mechanisms like Brew/dnf/pacman/emerge/Fink/MacPorts.
+This setup requires specific versions of two Python modules:
+_docker-py_ 1.9.0 and _requests_ older than 2.11. Other versions
+might cause the docker-py connection to break with the containers.
+Newer versions of docker-py might have this fixed already.
