Glad to hear it!
What is the issue you are having? There is some know issue if you have
the DNS cache enabled. We recently migrated some of our mirrors and
somehow that feature gets in the way.
For a long time (several months), I would get timeouts when checking the
guardian project repo, and occasionally it would work. Then, trying
to update Tor Browser would just result in timeout.
I'm using the normal/longstanding f-droid client and have not been
trying to enable any extra dns caching (beyond what's built in to the
protocol of course). I just checked and 'use dns cache was enabled'.
It never occured to me that a 'cache' would keep data for more than a
week; that feels like 'pinning' not 'caching'. I turned if off because
it seems buggy. It's super buggy if one moved mirror messes up trying
the rest of them; I'd expect one working mirror and the rest messed up
to be good enough.
My network has a local named with a pretty vanilla config.
I deleted the repo and re-added it, and now things are working better.
I got a new copy of the metadata and that showed an update for orbot,
which I did, and that worked. The update to TB seemed flaky but it is
now showing as completed, and I think that's likely mostly a
longstanding f-droid client bug, where the update happens but the
"updating" notification doesn't go away and the UI still acts like an
update is needed. But that happens a lot with others.
So I think I'm fixed now. Thanks for letting me know it is believed
working for others and the hint.
There is a known bug, it is being worked on right now. There are issues about
it in the issue tracker, and we'd appreciate your input and testing there:
