Version 1.20 of @fdroidorg brings some pretty big changes of how repositories are handled: • official repo is always preferred 5 comments
If the app is available from more than one repository, the box in the app details screen becomes a drop-down where the user can see all repos and choose which one should be used for installation, updates and app information. It is now possible to re-order the position of repositories in the list. The repo at the top has the highest priority while the repo at the bottom has the lowest priority. Only if an app is available from more than one repo, the priority matters. For example, if NewPipe's repo was added and the user always wants to prefer apps from that repo, they can move it to the top. In older versions of F-Droid, newly added repos were implicitly granted higher priority than repos added before. If you did not yet opt-in to beta versions of F-Droid, please manually install 1.20 and help testing before we make it available for everyone. |

When tapping an app, the user sees the app details screen as usual. There, a new box at the top shows the repository the app comes from.
All information on that page including the versions provided for installation are provided by that repo.
