+Auto Name:F-Droid Privileged Extension
+Summary:Help F-Droid acquire system privileges
+Description:
+'''Note:''' F-Droid will need root privileges to install this app as a system
+app.
+
+[[org.fdroid.fdroid]] can make use of system privileges or permissions to
+install, update and remove applications on its own. The only way to obtain those
+privileges is to become a system app.
+
+This is where the Privileged Extension comes in - being a separate app and much
+smaller, it can be installed as a system app and communicate with the main app
+via AIDL IPC.
+
+This has several advantages:
+
+* Reduced disk usage in the system partition
+* System updates don't remove F-Droid
+* The process of installing into system via root is safer
+
+This is packaged as an OTA (Over-The-Air) update ZIP file.  It must be installed
+using TWRP or other Android recovery that can flash updates to the system from
+the /data/data/org.fdroid.fdroid folder on the /data partition. The standalone
+APK is called [[org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged]].
