F-Droid 致力于实现一个完整的应用分发渠道，可以可重复地从源码构建每个 Android 应用。尽管这听起来像是枯燥的细节，它确实带来了许多实际的益处。首先，它意味着任何人都能验证他们使用的应用是 100% 从源码构建，没有添加任何其它东西。这验证了应用是 100% 的自由开源软件。 同时这也能确保在编译过程中不会出现比特异常，在 demonstrated中的31c3 Reproducible Builds talk，一个简单的比特翻转错误就可能导致应用异常。 F-Droid项目会持续发布经验证的版本以致力于提供更好的系统。这一构建基于Guardian项目的首个完整示例。实现了Lil’ Debi build reproducibly。我们从简单的应用开始Checkey，因为它更加小巧简约，功能相对简单（我们先基本搭建出框架，再完善功能）。 从 f-droid.org 下载 Checkey 会得到一个 APK 文件，该文件用由 f-droid.org 构建的官方 Guardian 项目 离线签名密钥所签署。但 Guardian 项目没有把密钥的副本给到 f-droid.org，实际上 fdroid publish 过程现在查找构建配方中的 Binaries: 标签。如果看到这个标签，那么它会下载那个 APK，接着从源码构建这个应用，然后进行检查确保两个 APK 相匹配（简单比较 APK 内容是否有差异以及官方 APK 的签名同样在 f-droid.org 构建的 APK 上有效）。 既然 Checkey...
