F-Droid is important. Getting free software Android apps into F-Droid is important. SMS Backup+ should be in F-Droid again. What are the blockers?

I know you are on the other thread too @jberkel but in case others are following this thread and not the other, here's what the F-Droid person said about this issue: "It was automatically moved to the archive, since it had a MD5 signature, which is no longer valid. See fdroidserver#323 for more info. The easiest way to reenable it is to update it to a version newer than 1554, if one exists. Otherwise, disable the most recent build, which will delete it, then re-enable it. It'll get built again and signed with a fresh signature."

Can we please have the latest Betas on F-Droid too? It's still on Beta4 instead of Beta7. Thank you and a Happy New Year!

@Kelvino9 I've submitted a merge request a while ago but it hasn't been merged yet.

update: request has been merged, new beta should be in f-droid soon.

Thanks @jberkel !
Been giving SMS Backup+ a fair try since my yearlong backup tool SMS Backup & Restore got acquired a second time by another company. Since you incorporated IMAP and restore options SMS Backup+ is a perfect replacement for me. Nice to have it back on F-Droid

edit: F-Droid shows build error for 1.5.11-beta7

@Kelvino9 oh, i'll check. the f-droid build process is a bit bumpy.
