Comment (by n8fr8):

 Yes, so there is a problem which is Orbot is in both F-Droid.org and the
 Guardian Project repo. The F-Droid app makes it hard to know where you are
 getting it from.

 15.1.2 is indeed from us, and from our F-Droid repo.

 I agree Orbot should be removed from the main repo.

 Also though we are working with them on a new system where they would
 build the source code, compare it to ours, and then use binary signed with
 our key, if it matches up.
