Software DevelopmentHyperBKImplementation RequestVery HighCriticalDevelop a BSD descendant kernel for HyperbolaBSDIn Progress
30%
Task Description

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 siteDONE
  • Download LibertyBSD scripts to deblob and rebrand kernel from their scripts. → 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
  • 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__)
Software DevelopmentGeneralImplementation RequestVery HighCritical POWER (ppc64le) porting Closed
100%
Task Description

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 the Power9-based Talos II promises to be a great architecture example for workstations and servers environments where Hyperbola is focused since is a fully free long-term support distribution.

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 POWER architecture (power64le).

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

Task Description

Libreoffice contains Google API keys which affects privacy.

PackagesAnySecurity IssueVery HighCritical [libressl] add package as OpenSSL replacement and defau ...Closed
100%
Task Description

LibreSSL is a version of the TLS/crypto stack forked from OpenSSL in 2014, with goals of modernizing the codebase, improving security, and applying best practice development processes.

It was forked from the OpenSSL in April 2014 as a response by OpenBSD developers to the Heartbleed security vulnerability in OpenSSL, [4] [5] [6] [7] with the aim of refactoring the OpenSSL code so as to provide a more secure implementation. [8]

As LibreSSL follow the same goals than Hyperbola Packaging Guidelines in stability and security concerns, it should be the default provider of SSL and TLS protocols for Hyperbola Project.

PackagesAnySecurity IssueVery HighCritical [avahi] blacklist package since it's a zeroconf impleme ...Closed
100%
Task Description

Avahi is a zero-configuration networking implementation that contains critical security issues because mDNS operates under a different trust model than unicast DNS trusting the entire network rather than a designated DNS server, it is vulnerable to spoofing attacks by any system within the multicast IP range. Like SNMP and many other network management protocols, it can also be used by attackers to quickly gain detailed knowledge of the network and its machines. [0]

Since it violates the Hyperbola Social Contract , Avahi should be blacklisted.

PackagesAnySecurity IssueHighCritical [geth] possible denial of service attacks "DoS Attack" Closed
100%
Task Description

Geth 1.6.x contains possible denial of service attacks “DoS Attack”, however it has been solved in 1.7.2 [0] instead. Since 1.6.x needs many modifications spread across multiple files of the code and it is inefficient to be backported, the newer version (eg. 1.7.x) could replace the current version package as exception, but repackaged with the appropriate suffix “-backports”.

100%
Task Description

Description:

  • Arch distributes a version of man-pages with manual pages from the POSIX standard. The man-pages project is permitted to distribute them and Andries Brouwer assumes that re-distribution by vendors is permitted as well. However, modification is definitively not allowed, hence this contribution by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and The Open Group render the entire man-pages package nonfree. The way to solve it is remove all nonfree POSIX manual pages from man-pages package.

Additional info:

* config and/or log files etc.

PATCHING NOTE

Make sure the definitions are not simply duplicated from GNU/Linux' because that will eventually result in

Example of makefile check:	ifneq (, $(filter Linux GNU GNU_%, $(shell uname -s)))

Software DevelopmentGeneralImplementation RequestVery HighHigh Port Icedove to UXP platform Closed
100%
Task Description

Description:
Historically, Icedove was a re-branding of Mozilla Thunderbird by the Debian project, with minimal modifications, in order to resolve branding disputes. Debian since discontinued Icedove after reaching an agreement with Mozilla over the use of it’s trademark.

Otherwise, new Thunderbird will use Quantum, a platform that contains numerous privacy, freedom, and trademark issues, in addition to an ever expanding Google Chromium code base which breaks compatibility with previous versions. Therefore, i suggest port our current Icedove from the deprecated XUL platform to UXP one like our Iceweasel-UXP.

TODO list:

  • Remove SSL Error Reporting telemetry from installer/package-manifest.in. [0]
  • Add missing emoji browser/fonts/”TwemojiMozilla.ttf” library to UXP sources
  • Change Icedove-UXP logo typeface from the non-free “Libertad Book” to free “DejaVU Sans”.
  • Rename Icedove to Icedove-UXP in logo typeface.
  • Check “Thunderbird” remaining references.
  • Fix/adapt confvars.sh to UXP-based applications. (eg. MOZ_APP_VERSION=52.9.`date –utc ‘+%Y%m%d’`)
Software DevelopmentGeneralImplementation RequestVery HighHigh Port Iceape to UXP platform  Closed

Task Description

Description:
Historically, Iceape was a re-branding of Seamonkey by the Debian project, with minimal modifications, in order to resolve branding disputes.

As of December 2013 , Iceape was no longer being maintained by the Debian project and users were encouraged to migrate to other alternatives for security patches.

However, since Seamonkey is being maintained from Thunderbird source and Hyperbola is porting Icedove to UXP platform , it could be built on the UXP platform which contains multiple security and privacy improvements.

TODO list:

  • Change Iceape-UXP logo typeface from the non-free “Libertad Book” to free “DejaVU Sans”.
  • Rename Iceape to Iceape-UXP in logo typeface.
  • Check “Seamonkey” remaining references.
  • Fix/adapt confvars.sh to UXP-based applications. (eg. MOZ_APP_VERSION=52.9.`date –utc ‘+%Y%m%d’`)
