With the newest package-update the xserver xenocara has missing dependencies towards adobe-fonts and twm.

Create hypertools to replace libretools package for HyperbolaBSD and GNU/Linux

It’s long period to develop this package.
For now, a systemd-nspawn wrapper is being developed for “libretools”[0]

[0]:https://issues.hyperbola.info/index.php?do=details&task_id=86

The actual behavior is to create mount points if mountpoint exits with exit status 1, however it may also exit with code 32 and thus creating a real mess:

$ sudo chroot-nspawn
Spawning container megver83 on /var/lib/archbuild/chroot1/megver83
Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup: mount point does not exist.
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio': No such file or directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu': No such file or directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct': No such file or directory

mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/pids': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd': No such file or directory
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/devices: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/memory: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/pids: mount point does not exist.

So I created a patch to fix this.

P.S.: although I can git clone the repo with ssh access, whenever I do a push I get:

error: remote unpack failed: unable to create temporary object directory
To ssh://git.hyperbola.info:51100/~git/software/chroot-nspawn.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (unpacker error)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git.hyperbola.info:51100/~git/software/chroot-nspawn.git'

Do I have the permission to write in this repo? If not, I’d like it, as I’m planning to improve this great script

/sbin/openrc-run: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I get this error whenever I try to start dhcpcd with sv /etc/runit/

And for sndiod I get this doing the same guide,

warning: sndiod: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist

Although rather ironically, If I type sndiod or dhcpcd into root, it works just fine.

Maybe its an FHS issue or possibly, I am screwing up? I am not sure. Feedback is welcome.

This is what I did:

=⇒ Add a service:

ln -s /etc/sv/<service> /var/service
==> Start/stop/restart a service:
sv <start/stop/restart> <service>

more or less, I used this guide.

The unfortunate reality is that x86 computers come encumbered with built-in low-level backdoors like the Intel Management Engine , as well as nonfree boot firmware. This means that users can’t gain full control over their computers, even if they install a free operating system such as Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

Hyperbola is working hard to fix these issues and getting closer every day, but for the time being, this is why many current Respects Your Freedom (RYF) offerings are refurbished older devices.

For the future of free computing, we need support architectures that do not come with such malware pre-installed, and RISC-V promises to be a great architecture example for low-power computers, laptops and embedded systems, also as ARM architecture replacement.

Devices like this are the future of computing that Respects Your Freedom and for that reason it’s a high priority for Hyperbola port all packages for the RISC-V architecture (riscv64) with multilib support.

NOTE: RISC-V porting is focused only for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

Develop HyperBK (Hyper Berkeley Kernel), a BSD descendant kernel with GPL-compatible licenses preserved, non-compatible ones removed, and new code written under GPL-3 for HyperbolaBSD.

TODO:

• Download OpenBSD kernel source code from OpenBSD site → DONE

• Download LibertyBSD scripts to deblob and rebrand kernel from their scripts. → DONE

• Create a new project in Hyperbola Git called hyperbk. → DONE

• Push source to HyperBK’s project. → DONE

• Rebrand OpenBSD kernel to HyperbolaBSD with LibertyBSD scripts. → DONE

• Rebrand entire code (functions, variable, pointers, etc) under HyperbolaBSD → DONE

• Remove files under non GPL-compatible licenses → DONE

• Import code from another BSD systems under GPL-compatible licenses → IN PROGRESS

• Remove remaining nonfree files don't found from LibertyBSD scripts → IN PROGRESS

• Write new code under GPL-3 → IN PROGRESS

• Package HyperBK for HyperbolaBSD.

PATCHING NOTE

When the check concerns kernel, we obviously want to match with HyperbolaBSD.

Example of triplet check:	hyperbolabsd)
Example of uname -s check:	HyperbolaBSD)
Example of uname -r check:	0.1)
Example of C macro check:	defined(__HyperbolaBSD__)
