Be in F-Droid
See original GitHub issueHere’s how to get into F-Droid.
We should be able to use most of https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/ and https://github.com/interfect/fenix/blob/5387b7464ed88051b159d417153d7286229ac7ce/org.mozilla.fenix_fdroid.yml from Mozilla Fenix’s packaging and get in.
Someone has to work through the procedure, make sure the local fdroid build bot can build it, make sure it knows to build the right release type (forkRelease
for us) and make an MR over on Gitlab.

f-droid requires strict open source. Because fenix contains proprietary dependencies, it is not possible to be in f-droid simply. modifying these dependencies would be a lot of work and would not be easy to synchronize with updates of fenix. The simple solution is to migrate iceraven’s changes to fenix to a fennec-based fork. If you don’t want to go through that trouble, then maybe it would be a better idea to consider push to google play first, as it is much simpler.
The developer seems to complain about the lack of financial support. If this is a problem for the project, it might be worth considering paid search and home page icon promotion. They doesn’t break the user experience while bringing in revenue.
I opened an issue in the F-Droid RFP repository. I hope one of them will be able to help you
