Distribution packaging
July 15, 2026 · View on GitHub
These files prepare OpenDeezer for several distribution providers. They do not mean the application is already listed: public catalogs still require their maintainers' accounts, reviews, and policy decisions.
| Provider | Repository support | Publication status |
|---|---|---|
| F-Droid | Four ABI source-build recipes, reproducible binaries, and Fastlane text | Under fdroiddata review; publish all four immutable binaries before updating its metadata |
| Obtainium | Phone and TV import configurations | Ready for direct GitHub Releases use; catalog entry optional |
| Snap Store | Strictly confined GNOME recipe | amd64 pack validated; register the name, test on Ubuntu, then upload |
| Homebrew | macOS/Linux TUI formula | Checksum-pinned; publish it to Cycl0o0/homebrew-tap |
| WinGet | Windows TUI manifests, schema 1.12 | Checksum-pinned; submit to microsoft/winget-pkgs |
| AUR | Source-building PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO | Checksum-pinned; publish through the AUR account |
| Scoop | Windows TUI manifest | Direct manifest install supported; a bucket makes it discoverable |
| Flathub | Existing local Flatpak drafts only | Blocked; do not submit the current files |
| IzzyOnDroid | Uses the signed GitHub APKs | Deferred pending its current inclusion-policy review |
Release automation
The publish-manifests release job runs
scripts/update-package-manifests.sh. It updates versions and real checksums in
Homebrew, WinGet, AUR, Scoop, Snap, and all four F-Droid ABI build blocks,
preserves the result as a workflow artifact, and tries to open
release/manifests-<tag>. PR creation is best-effort because a repository may
disable PR creation by GITHUB_TOKEN; checksum or manifest validation failures
still fail the job.
After merging that PR, the remaining external actions are:
- copy the formula to
Cycl0o0/homebrew-tap; - push the AUR files to the
opendeezerAUR repository; - submit the WinGet directory with
wingetcreateor a pull request; - publish the Scoop manifest in a maintained bucket;
- build, test, register, and upload the Snap;
- update and submit the F-Droid recipe after the next Android tag.
Android: F-Droid and Obtainium
fdroid/ contains a mainline F-Droid proposal that builds the Go AAR
and one APK per supported ABI from source. It declares the NonFreeNet and
TetheredNet anti-features because a Deezer account and proprietary Deezer
service are required. Canonical listing text is under
../fastlane/metadata/android/.
The F-Droid guide records the remaining signing, screenshot, reproducibility,
and trademark review work.
obtainium/ contains import files for the phone/tablet and TV
application IDs. Obtainium needs no central listing: it can follow the signed,
per-ABI APKs on GitHub Releases directly.
IzzyOnDroid is separate from F-Droid and does not index every GitHub release automatically. Its current inclusion policy requires a separate request and review, so it is intentionally not submitted here.
Linux: Snap and local Flatpak
snap/ packages the GNOME client with strict confinement. Its guide
covers local build/install tests and the human Snap Store publication step.
The manifests under flatpak/ remain useful for local Flatpak
builds. They are not a Flathub submission. Current
Flathub requirements
restrict AI-assisted applications and submission material and also impose
third-party trademark rules. A human maintainer must obtain policy and naming
clearance before replacing and submitting the stale flatpak/flathub/ draft.
Terminal package managers
homebrew/opendeezer.rbinstalls the appropriate macOS or Linux TUI release binary. After tap publication:brew install Cycl0o0/tap/opendeezer.winget/installs the portable 64-bit Windows TUI. After community repository acceptance:winget install Cycl0o0.OpenDeezer.aur/builds the TUI from tagged source. After AUR publication:yay -S opendeezer.scoop/opendeezer.jsoninstalls the 64-bit Windows TUI and carries a checksum-aware autoupdate template. See its README for the direct-manifest command and bucket publication.
Commercial mobile and desktop stores are not prepared here. Apple, Google, Microsoft Store, and Amazon submissions need developer accounts, platform signing/provisioning, and—most importantly—clear permission to use Deezer's service and branding.
