Hi dear Sailors!

I have a question related to the update of a device, when following the exact steps proposed by Jolla.

When updating a sailfish device I wish to follow all the steps from the article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347.

Therefore it is writen there: "disable all openrepos repositories before attempting to upgrade your device. Else, you risk breaking the device."

I am aware that eventually this was specifically true for older versions of Sailfish OS (I am using 3.2), but still thats the "official" procedure, wich i guess all non-tech users a little worried of not disabling guarantee and not breaking device are willing to follow exclusively...

What is exactly a "repository"?

Where to find repositories anyhow with the jolla store's File Browser?

The first case of course is for the user of "storeman".

But what about other users that use only apps directly downloaded from openrepos.net? For exemple, as for myself, I am NOT using "storeman" but i am using 2 apps which i directly download from OPENREPOS.NET (depecher and tdlibjson: https://openrepos.net/content/blacksailer/depecher and https://openrepos.net/content/blacksailer/tdlibjson ). Here are therefore my questions: do these apps (downloaded directly from the openrepos.net website) have a repository that i should disable?? Or only the app "storeman" has repositories?

Also i cant manage to locate the tdlibjson package in my device with File Browser and therefore i don't know how to erase it before update...

Thanks a lot to let me know what you surely know about this topic!!

I guess you dont have to follow my exact exemple of apps and situation to answer, since this question is for everyone, not only for my specific apps and case! Im just willing to understand more clearly the definition and location of repositories...

Thanks a lot!
