Services | General | Feature Request | Very Low | Low | hyperbola branding - add guidelines to packages | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
I could not find any regarding using arch or other branded themes. Parabola apparently rebrands some stuff in their libre repository, eg. they have their own parabola-themes-slim package for slim based themes.

Software Development | General | Implementation Request | Very High | Critical | POWER (ppc64le) porting | In Progress | |
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).

Software Development | HyperBK | Implementation Request | Medium | High | Develop HyperBK based on LibertyBSD kernel | Deferred | |
Task Description
Develop HyperBK (Hyper Berkeley Kernel) based on LibertyBSD‘s kernel for Hyperbola GNU/HyperBK port.
TODO:
PATCHING NOTE
When the check concerns kernel, we obviously want to match with HyperBK.
Example of triplet check: hyperbk-gnu)
Example of uname check: GNU/HyperBK)
Example of C macro check: defined(__HyperBK__)

Software Development | General | Implementation Request | Medium | High | Develop GNU/HyperBK patchset | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Develop GNU/HyperBK patchset for toolchain (Glibc, Binutils and GCC) and packages.
PATCHING NOTE
Make sure the definitions are not simply duplicated from GNU/Linux' because that will eventually result in
out-of-sync definitions that break for us.
Example of triplet check: linux*-gnu | gnu* | hyperbk-gnu)
Example of uname check: Linux|GNU|GNU/*)
Example of C macro check: defined(__linux__) || defined(__GNU__) || defined(__GLIBC__)
[note: GNU/Hurd defines __GNU__, and GNU/HyperBK define __GLIBC__ as hardcoded macro]
Example of makefile check: ifneq (, $(filter Linux GNU GNU_%, $(shell uname -s)))
[note1: findstring matches subwords, use filter instead]
[note2: list must be the first parameter, otherwise matching fails]
[note3: "%" is make's wildcard]

Software Development | Iceweasel-UXP | Implementation Request | Defer | Low | Swiftweasel-UXP theme for Iceweasel-UXP | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Description: Historically, Swiftweasel was a Firefox-based application built on XUL platform around 2007 and abandoned in 2010. It was optimized for several architectures using the following methods such as the Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) and binary code optimization for computers with limited resources.
Since there are users encouraging us develop a Palemoon-based application , and Swiftweasel contains non-trademarked graphics and logos, we could port Swiftweasel to UXP platform as theme for Iceweasel-UXP.

Software Development | Icedove-UXP | Implementation Request | Defer | Low | Swiftdove-UXP theme for Icedove-UXP | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
Description: Historically, Swiftdove was a Thunderbird-based application built on XUL platform around 2007 and abandoned in 2010. It was optimized for several architectures using the following methods such as the Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) and binary code optimization for computers with limited resources.
Since FossaMail may potentially be revived on UXP in the future [0] and Swiftdove contains non-trademarked graphics and logos, we could port Swiftdove to UXP platform as theme for Icedove-UXP.

Software Development | General | Implementation Request | Very Low | Low | ARMv7 (armv7h) porting | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
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.
