Hello,

I stumbled upon this music player recently, it is very promising and fully free (GPL3)

“Sayonara is a small, clear and fast audio player for Linux written in C++, supported by the Qt framework. It uses GStreamer as audio backend. Sayonara is open source and uses the GPLv3 license. One of Sayonara’s goals is intuitive and easy usablility. Currently, it is only available for Linux and BSD.

Although Sayonara can be considered as a lightweight player, it holds a lot of features in order to organize even big music collections.”

Latest version is 1.1.1 and it is very stable on my hyperbola system. I think it would be a great addition to Hyperbola repo.

A PKGBUILD is available here :

Could it be possible to add :

sacd-extract

rrip_gui does not work. The fix is to install cairo-gobject which is not in the repos. Attached is a working PKGBUILD adapted from the official one.

Why not use “elements” instead?

purple-plugin-pack provides access to Napster which is only useful with a single company and sever (as far as I could tell).

Package is a libpurple plugin for the Matrix protocol which is consistent with Hyperbola’s social contract as Matrix is a federated protocol.

Source code can be found here licensed under GPLv2:

https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix

PKGBUILD for git version is available here (last stable release is from two years ago so git version is probably the best version to use):

Description:
The title says everything

Also, it doesn’t follow the FHS (/usr/bin/postgrey should be in /usr/sbin)

Additional info:
* postgrey-1.37-1

Description:
The /usr/sbin directory in postfix has permissions 755
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/extra.git/tree/postfix/PKGBUILD#n115

And ‘filesystem’ sets it to 750
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/core.git/tree/filesystem/PKGBUILD#n135

So when installing postfix, pacman throws a warning

warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/sbin/
filesystem: 750  package: 755

Additional info:
* postfix-3.2.2-1.hyperbola6

Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background.

Please implement plymouth as an optional package.

community/pinta 1.6-2 [installed]
     Drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It's goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users

I am not quite sure what the policy is in Hyperbola on this one. I am referring to the reference to the proprietary software Paint.NET. That is for me steering users to verify what is Paint.NET – we shall not be doing it. It should be removed from description.

I am fine if authors have in documentation something explaining how they started software project. But I am not fine in descriptions which are public and accessible on Internet to have such references to illegitimate proprietary software.

Just to clarify, the word “alternative” is just fine in this description and need not be removed.

Qualys Security Advisory

LPE and RCE in OpenSMTPD’s default install (CVE-2020-8794)

in OpenSMTPD's (and hence OpenBSD's) default configuration. Although
OpenSMTPD listens on localhost only, by default, it does accept mail
from local users and delivers it to remote servers. If such a remote
server is controlled by an attacker (either because it is malicious or
compromised, or because of a man-in-the-middle, DNS, or BGP attack --
SMTP is not TLS-encrypted by default), then the attacker can execute
arbitrary shell commands on the vulnerable OpenSMTPD installation.

OpenSMTPD server (which accepts external mail) and send a mail that
creates a bounce. Next, when OpenSMTPD connects back to their mail
server to deliver this bounce, the attacker can exploit OpenSMTPD's
client-side vulnerability. Last, for their shell commands to be
executed, the attacker must (to the best of our knowledge) crash
OpenSMTPD and wait until it is restarted (either manually by an
administrator, or automatically by a system update or reboot).

I added
<quote>modules=”fs-fuse”</quote>
to /etc/conf.d/modules (and also “fuse” instead).

I looked in /var/log/rc.log and I see this line

<quote>modprobe: FATAL: Module fs-fusetun not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.194-gnu-1-lts</quote>

It looks like modprobe added “tun” to the filename which prevents loading the module.

I use Nextcloud for syncing, although, I would normally not ask for this, due to Nextcloud’s appimage being available, but for some reason the latest version doesn’t work on hyperbola. So... yeah.

Usually Nextcloud’s appimage works regardless of what packages you have, so I guess in essence... add Nextcloud-client package to this system is my request.
