Is this a Flux-supported project, or is this just the repo from the site?

I'm wondering what kind of support to expect in the future, if any, too.

to me, this looks like this person just mirrored the download from the site. doesn't look official at all.

i agree, this looks like a blind fork. Which is nice! I found https://justgetflux.com/forum/topic/1267/sha-1-for-ios-sideload , which posted official SHAs. It's not clear if those SHAs are for the compiled binary or the zip of the source.

Looks like it's for the zip (which I still had in my trashcan).

see #11 : you can drill down in the link provided from the f.lux forums and get shas for individual files as well. primarily one should be concerned about the state of the precompiled blob iflux, which we can prove has the same hash as it did when released by its creators.

@JohnDDuncanIII and which commit was that?

[JohnDDuncanIII]

that was the original zip file that was hosted on the f.lux website, before it was pulled

I compared the verified f.lux-xcode-master.zip file:

$ openssl sha1 f.lux-xcode-master.zip
SHA1(f.lux-xcode-master.zip)= f1ee4e38eddc467e7fbfe5708841bbc84f520d7e

With the current branch of this repo and got this:

ie: the sha1 sums are different, but the files that have been changed don't look particularly important.

The mystery iflux binary looks like it's identical:

$ openssl sha1 f.lux-master/iflux
SHA1(f.lux-master/iflux)= 6d2468410a760bef01ca9cb821a40f87b1992936
$ openssl sha1 f.lux-xcode-master/iflux
SHA1(f.lux-xcode-master/iflux)= 6d2468410a760bef01ca9cb821a40f87b1992936

tl;dr: as of the current commit at the time of writing this comment, this repo looks like it has been significantly altered from the version that was published on the official f.lux sideloading post.
