## IRC
|
|
|
|
We are on `#fdroid` and `#fdroid-dev` on Freenode. We hold weekly dev meetings
|
|
on `#fdroid-dev` on Thursdays at 8:30h UTC, which usually last half an hour.
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
|
|
* Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
|
|
|
|
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its
|
|
own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar
|
|
to what Google Play does.
|
|
|
|
* Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a
|
|
privileged system app?
|
|
|
|
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the [Privileged
|
|
Extension](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension) is the one that should be placed in
|
|
the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or
|
|
alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
