App is reported to be up to date while an update is available about fdroidcl

[relan]

Looks like fdroidcl simply takes marketvercode from the index.xml and compares it to the version code of the installed app. Not sure whether this behavior is right or wrong, but it's obviously different from that of Android F-Droid client. This behavior is inconvenient because it makes me edit Current Version Code in the metadata after every APK update to make fdroidcl recognize the update.

Well, it definitely isn't wrong. It may be incomplete though. Did you not set your Current Version Code, or did you set it to zero? If you do, the Android client will use the highest version available.

fdroidcl should do that as well. I'll run some tests with this.

Okay yes, the index snippet you posted there shows exactly that.

I can confirm that now it works just as I want. Thanks!
