Auto Name:F-Droid Privileged Extension OTA
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]].
