    Dear pEp developer-team,
    when will the Android Client of pEp (security.pEp) be available via F-Droid again?
    I installed the latest version (v1.1.286) to my Tablet, and 4 of my LineageOS-phones when it still was available through F-Droid. I want to install it also on my newest phone (Shift6mq), and if there are security updates and bug fixes or new feature updates for the android version.

    PS: I also use the Thunderbird-Add-on on multiple Linux devices with multiple different distributions of GNU/Linux.

    I also wonder myself why you shot down your other websites:
    https://xn--pp-piv.foundation/p%E2%89%A1p-software
    pep.coop/
    https://pep.software/
    https://www.pep.security/

    @PEP-Team: Why won't you at least take the effort to answer my message? That's an ugly and intransparent way of dealing with serious inquiries! Please have the decency to answer my questions, in a proper timeframe...

    Also this behavior raises questions, as if there are unfixed but known security issues with the pEp-android-client, which might be the reasoning behind removing the Application from the App-Stores!

    Dear Billy,

    sorry for replying to you so late. There is another new post in this forum explaining our current sitution. I hope this gives you some understanding why we kept quiet here for some time.

    To your concrete questions: The availabilily in f-droid is unsure. The websites are shut down due to the shut down of the entity they belonged to, but pep.software is still up and running. There are no security issues whatsoever, the only reason for this mess is that no one wants to fund us in serving software as a public good, so after a long and hard struggle we finally had to accept that we need to give up. Some of us will continue in our free time as volunteers, but that does not mean we can properly continue any major development of the software. Believe me, I would love to announce better news here :(
