Description:

community/drupal 8.3.2-1
    A PHP-based content management platform

The description is vague. Content is not HTML page alone. Then even text editor could be called “content management”.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

In most cases, that term really refers to a system for updating pages on a web site. For that, we recommend the term “web site revision system” (WRS).

I have installed Hyperbola on two laptops. And I have noticed that after running sway and exiting out of sway, GNU emacs crushers on console. It is easy to repeat it:

1. Run sway
2. Exit sway or killall sway
3. Try running emacs on console, there will be crush
4. log out, log in, and emacs will work on console again

Yet it should not crush.

Please restore the hidden setting (which can be enabled via dconf-editor) to disable JavaScript, which was removed last year (see here for details: https://github.com/GNOME/epiphany/blob/master/NEWS ).
Please do not remove the browser from the repos, as it renders this website correctly, unlike Mozlla based browsers (see here for more info: https://issues.hyperbola.info/index.php?do=details&task_id=131). The browser also provides other functions currently unavailable in Mozilla browsers, such as accessing LibreCMC router’s non-SSL web interface.

Attached is a PKGBUILD for the last stable release based on the AUR one (I moved a few of the dependencies to optdepends). It builds fine and works.

Description:

• The Arch version of Erlang (headless version) from the snapshot used by Hyperbola comes with systemd support. Since Hyperbola follows the Init Freedom Campaign , systemd unit files removal is required or add OpenRC init scripts to replace it.

Hi,

Would be nice to add etherpad-lite to our pacman.

https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/etherpad-lite/

One can mount exfat by running commands such as “sudo modprobe fuse” and “sudo mount.exfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/storage” but it is inconvenient.

Also, loading fuse at startup is problematic - see here:

https://issues.hyperbola.info/index.php?do=details&task_id=1433

Hello,

Could it be possible to add this package :

exifread

“Python library to extract EXIF data from tiff and jpeg files”

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/exifread/

Thanks

Description:

community/ext3grep 0.10.2-4
    A tool to investigate an ext3 file system for deleted content and possibly recover it

Description is vague because of the word “content”. Why not say instead “data”?

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:
This package has a strong systemd integration. It has a systemd backend to get files modifications:

(from /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf)

# systemd:   uses systemd python library to access the systemd journal.
#              Specifying "logpath" is not valid for this backend.
#              See "journalmatch" in the jails associated filter config

and many files at /etc/fail2ban/filter.d have systemd stuff

[/etc/fail2ban/filter.d] [0]
$ grep -i systemd *
dovecot.conf:#journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=dovecot.service
ejabberd-auth.conf:# Notes.:  systemd journalctl style match filter for journal based backend
postfix.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=postfix.service
postfix-sasl.conf:#journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=postfix.service
pure-ftpd.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=pure-ftpd.service + _COMM=pure-ftpd
recidive.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=fail2ban.service PRIORITY=5
sshd.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd
sshd-ddos.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd

Additional info:
* fail2ban-0.9.6-2.hyperbola3

Description:
The /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/dovecot.conf file has a failregex with the following:

^%(__prefix_line)s(?:auth|auth-worker\(\d+\)): (?:pam|passwd-file)\(\S+,<HOST>\): unknown user\s*$

and works with things like:

Month day time hostname dovecot: auth: passwd-file(user@domain.com,IP): unknown user

but with verbosity enabled in Dovecot, this output looks like this:

Month day time hostname dovecot: auth: passwd-file(user@domain.com,IP): unknown user (given password: password)

and in this case it doesn’t work, but it does if we fix the failregex if we replace it with:

^%(__prefix_line)s(?:auth|auth-worker\(\d+\)): (?:pam|passwd-file)\(\S+,<HOST>\): unknown user( \(given password: \S*\))?\s*$

with this new expression, it works with and without verbosity

And regarding postfix, to make it work correctly I “backported” some pieces from newest failregex:

/etc/fail2ban/postfixr-rbl.conf:

^%(__prefix_line)sNOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from \S+\[<HOST>\]: [45]54 [45]\.7\.1 Service unavailable; Client host \[\S+\] blocked using .* from=<\S*> to=<\S+> proto=ESMTP helo=<\S*>$

/etc/fail2ban/postfix.conf: (second failregex)

^%(__prefix_line)sNOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from \S+\[<HOST>\]: 45[04] 4\.7\.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your (reverse )?hostname, (\[\S*\]); from=<\S*> to=<\S+> proto=ESMTP helo=<\S*>$

I can create a patch if you want. Note that I haven’t tested all filters, some others may also need some rework

Additional info:

ffmpegthumbnailer does not support some media formats since they do not appear in its configuration file ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer which can be found in /usr/share/thumbnailers/. By editing the file ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer one can add thumbnail support for embedded art in audio formats such as flac and mp3 (using the -m flag) and thumbnail support for webp (a new image format which iceweasel-uxp and gthumb support). I’m attaching my edited file (I just added a few common audio formats and webp and added the -m flag and removed the -f flag).

Unlike other mapping software (gnome-maps, emerillon) it does not depend on geoclue/geoclue2 (or on kde packages like marble). The package was added to Arch’s official repos over a year ago. Their PKGBUILD builds fine.

CVE-2020-5260 has been fixed very recently in Debian, so I thought I would apply this patch. However, I found out that security patches have not been applied for quite a while (I could account for at least 6 CVEs).

Considering that the version in Debian stretch (2.11.0) is the nearest version with security patches released by Debian and that git project oldest supported version is 2.17, I have used patches from Debian stretch to apply on 2.12.2 currently in Milky Way.

But I have the following error on check():

This does not seem to be related to my change as the current version in Milky Way produces the same error (IOW the package currently in Milky Way is not rebuidable).

We should check if the following packages run any non-free JS (like youtube-dl) or access a proprietary API:

I haven’t check them, but they look fishy. Take it as a reminder, this is far from being urgent IMO.
