The IDE codelite is an excellent development environment, continuously updated, has a clear vision and active support.
Would be nice to have this one within the repositories in upcoming releases, perhaps 0.5?

CHDKPTP is part of CHDK project - a free software firmware add-on for Canon cameras. It enables controlling Canon cameras via the computer.

Attached is a modified iup PKGBUILD (Lua 5.3 build was removed as it failed to compile) and configuration files for chdkptp.

Code is available via svn:

$ svn co http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/chdkptp/trunk chdkptp

Copy chdkptp.sh and config.mk files to source tree then compile via make. chdkptp requires root privileges to connect to a camera.

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.

The current version of BleachBit needs to be adapted so it can clean the new .cache/hyperbola/ directory.

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).

I know there are plans to remove NetworkManager. I wondered if we could replace it in 0.4 with Wpa_Cute. seen in the above link.

I haven’t been able to compile it, but it has been updated as recent as 2018 december (stable)

or 2019 january. :)

WPA_GUI doesn’t seem to work well for me, it runs into weird errors when I start it. Long story short, I run into this issue with wpa_supplicant when i do it manually:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wpa_supplicant:

Password-related problems

wpa_supplicant may not work properly if directly passed via stdin particularly long or complex passphrases which include special characters. This may lead to errors such as failed 4-way WPA handshake, PSK may be wrong when launching wpa_supplicant.

In order to solve this try using here strings wpa_passphrase <MYSSID> «< “<passphrase>” or passing a file to the -c flag instead:

# wpa_supplicant -i <interface> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/example.conf

In some instances it was found that storing the passphrase cleartext in the psk key of the wpa_supplicant.conf network block gave positive results (see [2]). However, this approach is rather insecure. Using wpa_cli to create this file instead of manually writing it gives the best results most of the time and therefore is the recommended way to proceed.
Problems with eduroam and other MSCHAPv2 connections

This is my issue with wpa_supplicant sadly... and I do not know how to workaround that without a GUI.

but Wpa_Supplicant_gui does not fix it either, it doesn’t even load properly on my other laptop.

It says it cannot get the status of wpa_supplicant when I load it.

This could be an issue if you get rid of NetworkManager for some users.

So yeah, please take a look at my request okay? Wait for 0.3 to be released to add this if possible. I know you guys are overworked, etc... and it doesn’t need to be done now anyhow. ;)

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.

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.

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

In generate_jsimd_ycc_rgb_convert_neon of jsimd_arm64_neon.S, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote code execution in an unprivileged process with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation

“This is a security release to fix a number of issues that were found by Kaspersky Lab. These issues affect both the client and server and could theoretically allow an malicious peer to take control over the software on the other side.”

An issue was discovered in GNU patch through 2.7.6. There is a segmentation fault, associated with a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service in the intuit_diff_type function in pch.c, aka a “mangled rename” issue.

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

It happened already with minetest and again with prosody: When trying to build own packages with makepkg there are patches downloaded from the Debian-project. But the given HTTP(S)-sources are no longer available, concrete example within prosody to be found: https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/prosody/prosody_0.10.2-1~bpo9+1.debian.tar.xz (not available)

Please don’t rely on those external sources when creating PKGBUILD-files or just give users the possibility for a secure and granted download. Therefore I cannot build prosody on my own now!

Kernel hacking → [*] Filter access to /dev/mem
[*] Filter I/O access to /dev/mem

Security options → [*] Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog

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).

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).

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.

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.

Prior version 0.0.25 and below are outdated.

Since version 0.100 and later, there are some changes being redesigned from scratch, added three new weights (including extra bold, light and thin) but not italic or oblique styles, AppStream metadata translations from contributors, and more.

See the version history releases for more details: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cantarell-fonts/raw/master/NEWS

In the latest version, it has many more changes with new and improvement features, and fixes function issues since released as preview stage in every eight times per three years ago[1]. And also it is possible to rebuild package with sndio.

Hello,

Would it be possible to get a package bump for mpv ?

Currently, Debian Buster (stable) uses 0.29.1-1. This would be great as it introduces many fixes and support for lua scripts I heavily use.
0.29.* requires a ffmpeg to 4.x series as well.

Thanks.

The current version of the package icewm within the Hyperbola-repositories is 1.3.8. The latest version is 1.6.3!
An update would be helpful as this window-manager follows absolutely the principles of the distribution Hyperbola itself, being simple and fast.
