This is much closer to what we did before with mimetypes. Using a whitelist turns out to be a bad idea since repositories seem to be randomly filled with executable images and documents, which trigger the scanner. In an ideal world the scanner would complain about all of those. For now, just warn about the possibility of them being hidden binaries.
F-Droid Server
Server for F-Droid, the Free Software repository system for Android.
The F-Droid server tools provide various scripts and tools that are used to maintain the main F-Droid application repository. You can use these same tools to create your own additional or alternative repository for publishing, or to assist in creating, testing and submitting metadata to the main repository.
For documentation, please see the docs directory.

What is F-Droid?
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
Installing
The easiest way to install the fdroidserver tools is on Ubuntu, Mint or other
Ubuntu based distributions, you can install using:
sudo apt-get install fdroidserver
For older Ubuntu releases or to get the latest version, you can get
fdroidserver from the Guardian Project PPA (the signing key
fingerprint is 6B80 A842 07B3 0AC9 DEE2 35FE F50E ADDD 2234 F563)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guardianproject/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fdroidserver
On OSX, fdroidserver is available from third party package managers,
like Homebrew, MacPorts, and Fink:
brew install fdroidserver
For Arch-Linux is a package in the AUR available. If you have installed
yaourt or something similiar, you can do:
yaourt -S fdroidserver
For any platform where Python's easy_install is an option (e.g. OSX
or Cygwin, you can use it:
sudo easy_install fdroidserver
Python's pip also works:
sudo pip install fdroidserver
The combination of virtualenv and pip is great for testing out the
latest versions of fdroidserver. Using pip, fdroidserver can
even be installed straight from git. First, make sure you have
installed the python header files, virtualenv and pip. They should be
included in your OS's default package manager or you can install them
via other mechanisms like Brew/dnf/pacman/emerge/Fink/MacPorts.
For Debian based distributions:
apt-get install python-dev python-pip python-virtualenv
