I know you have misgivings about that arm laptop, I mentioned, and arm as a whole, but people will be buying it no doubt.

I think you won’t stop that from happening whether you support it or not. the same is said with other arm laptops such as the MNT Reform Laptop and even the chromebook c201 asus which is questionable but can be run with mostly free software, except for 3D and wifi. (use wifi adapter)

Those are just a few arm laptops that need your support. You may know of others, but yeah, I want you to support as many of the ones that can run mostly on free software, as possible.

But yeah, we don’t know when two of those are coming out, so I understand completely if you want to wait till a more opportune time. But yeah, when you find a chance in the future to support them, please do so.

unlike Navigator though, it needs two things: compatibility with seamonkey addons, (the ones that effect web browsing, not the mail email parts)

and to be based off of the latest version of seamonkey, only obviously just the navigator part. I understand this might be hard to implement now, so I can wait if need be, Just thought I would show this to you.

PS, if you ever make HyperBK, port it to that too, but until then, just the os that I mentioned.

Also, last thing, any seamonkey addons that I have already asked for seamonkey, again that aren’t email/mail based, implement them for this too. :)

I will put the severity at very low if that’s okay, just until you have actual time/whatever...

Let me know if this is even remotely possible with this build.

As per a recent discovery, we should check if our deepin is affected by the CNZZ spyware in the AppStore.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v25Dy66AtNI

We also shouldn’t use the AppStore if it exists, due to non-free apps.

Known files:
> usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/com.deepin.daemon.Apps.service
> etc/appstore.json

By default, the ‘disable-publishing’ parameter in the [publish] section of avahi-daemon.conf is set to ‘no’, which can be seen in my opinion as a privacy issue as avahi broadcasts the hostname without the user’s consent even though this has been explicitly disabled in the settings of networkmanager.

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

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

- hub
- python-pygithub
- python2-pygithub

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

Remotely observable behavior in auth-gss2.c in OpenSSH through 7.8 could be used by remote attackers to detect existence of users on a target system when GSS2 is in use. NOTE: the discoverer states ‘We understand that the OpenSSH developers do not want to treat such a username enumeration (or “oracle”) as a vulnerability.’ https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-15919

would it be possible to make it use sudo instead?

From what I know, sudo is safer. Let me know if you agree this is a problem.

Octopi 0.9.0 is uploading system logs to ptpb.pw without confirmation through :

Tools
→ SysInfo → ptpb.pw

I think it should be either disabled or add at least a patch to ask for a confirmation.
An other way could be to patch this :

src/globals.cpp
240: * Generates SysInfo file and paste it to ptpb site
255:  QString ptpb = UnixCommand::getCommandOutput("curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw/?u=1", tempFile->fileName());
256:  return ptpb;

to :

src/globals.cpp
240: * Generates SysInfo file and paste it to ptpb site
255:  QString ptpb = UnixCommand::getCommandOutput("curl -F c=@- **https://ptpb.pw/", tempFile->fileName());
256:  return ptpb;

This way, you can at least ask for log deletion with the help of log uuid as explained here : https://ptpb.pw/#id10

Description:
libssh versions 0.6 and above have an authentication bypass vulnerability in
the server code. By presenting the server an SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS message
in place of the SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST message which the server would expect
to initiate authentication, the attacker could successfully authentciate
without any credentials.

A huge number of CVEs have been fixed on 4.3.1 :

Current Hyperbola version is 4.2.6

Remove “cinepaint” package since it’s unmaintained and unsupportable. Also, it doesn’t contains any file format support in the latest version (previous version supported multiple file formats).

I suggest use Krita (or Gimp 2.10) to edit 16bit and 32bit file formats or convert with imagemagick/graphicsmagick.

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0×50800) with this library (version 0×50904)

These two packages are directly affected by an older qt5...

Could you update all the qt packages to the LTS version available?

The Knock patches for linux-libre maintained by you at https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/kernels/knock.git/ have support up to linux-libre 4.13 only (and I think it didn’t work for it when I tried it, compilation failed) but from all of those supported versions, the newest maintained generation by the upstream is 4.9.x

However, since newer kernel generations might require reprogramming the patch, I want to request it only for the latest LTS generation which is 4.14. As you know, LTS software are supported for a long time, so it’s worth to make it for linux-libre 4.14.x

This might not be really important for Hyperbola in the short term, but you are the maintainers of the TCP Stealth implementation for Linux-libre and I and maybe other people would like to use it in their projects for newer versions.

Plus, it would be great since while 4.9 kernels can use the GRSec+Knock combination like linux-libre-lts-unofficial-grsec-knock, with support for 4.14 anyone would be able to use a combination of newer patches such as Linux-hardened+Knock (Linux-hardened supports 4.14 and 4.15 as of now) which is what I’d like to do.

There appears to be a bug with the current version of ufw, 0.35-2

Dunno if updating it would fix it, but it is kind of annoying and possibly security issue.

it says ufw is inactive when I reboot despite it being installed in the runlevel.

Description:

https://proj4.org/index.html

This package have valuable geodetic applications, and I intend to present Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre soon in universities and schools in East Africa.

The coordinate system there is not WGS84 and this package only in new version is providing the conversion from East African geographic coordinates to WGS84, and will be very usable in many industrial and private applications.
