Hi,

Would be nice to add etherpad-lite to our pacman.

https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/etherpad-lite/

Hello,

Could it be possible to add this package :

gimagereader

“A graphical frontend to tesseract-ocr”

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gimagereader

License : GPL3

Thanks

I have installed multiple times Hyperbola, 4 times on 4 different notebooks.

What I have noticed is that the live ISO is quite huge in relation to the task that should be done. Namely. the live ISO shall at least contain some first packages, so that they do not need to be downloaded online.

Best would be if the live ISO can be copied straight and that system can run from ISO/DVD without having Internet. At least one simple graphical environment shall be included.

Further, I have noticed that there is only network instructions as HTML file.

I would rather call it installation-instructions.html to make it clear for people what it is. Or simply: INSTALL.html so that people understand what it is.

It says just network.html if I remember well.

Then there is absolutely no point or link or reference to the installation instructions.

Each time I got a network I had to go to either duckduckgo search engine or to hyperbola.info website and then I tried with lynx to find installation instructions.

It is not straight, not quite clearly in open, it is in Wiki, but that is quite hard to find.

We have to put ourselves in the shoes of those in need of free software. Millions of people need free software.

Many of us live in a developed western countries.

Yet millions of people in need of this software live in South America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe.

There are millions of students that could advance their study, and that could progress faster with free software.

In those countries Internet is often non-existent, universities may be located in poor network areas, Internet is being fetched by using mobile phones.

So if there is a live distribution, such shall at least contain basic software, which really can fit onto any DVD, and that as such can be copied on the computer without using Internet. Upgrades could be fetched by using Internet.

And there shall be clear reference, link or file about installation. There shall be no need to go to Internet to install the software.

So avatar uploading is not working well, and picture is getting minimized to nothing.

Hello,

Could it be possible to add this package :

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.

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.

Hello,

I stumbled upon this music player recently, it is very promising and fully free (GPL3)

“Sayonara is a small, clear and fast audio player for Linux written in C++, supported by the Qt framework. It uses GStreamer as audio backend. Sayonara is open source and uses the GPLv3 license. One of Sayonara’s goals is intuitive and easy usablility. Currently, it is only available for Linux and BSD.

Although Sayonara can be considered as a lightweight player, it holds a lot of features in order to organize even big music collections.”

Latest version is 1.1.1 and it is very stable on my hyperbola system. I think it would be a great addition to Hyperbola repo.

https://sayonara-player.com/

A PKGBUILD is available here :

https://sayonara-player.com/sw/arch_linux/PKGBUILD

Description:

• add new package

Additional info:

• https://github.com/coturn/coturn

Steps to reproduce:

• none

Description:

• add GNU MediaGoblin package

Additional info:

• none

Steps to reproduce:

Unlike other mapping software (gnome-maps, emerillon) it does not depend on geoclue/geoclue2 (or on kde packages like marble). The package was added to Arch’s official repos over a year ago. Their PKGBUILD builds fine.

Description:

Hi guys. Could they add PeerTube to Hyperbola?

It’s on AUR.

Under the AGPLv3 license

Additional info:

I see that the PeerTube help configuration with an init.d

Package is a libpurple plugin for the Matrix protocol which is consistent with Hyperbola’s social contract as Matrix is a federated protocol.

Source code can be found here licensed under GPLv2:

https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix

PKGBUILD for git version is available here (last stable release is from two years ago so git version is probably the best version to use):

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/purple-matrix-git/

Description: i3-gaps is a fork of i3 that properly implements gaps.

Additional info:
It is implemented in the AUR https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/i3-gaps/ and it’s source is available on github: https://github.com/Airblader/i3

Could it be possible to add :

mkv-extractor-qt

“Graphical MKV demultiplexer”

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mkv-extractor-qt/

Thanks

This would ease their usage on other distros.

Could it be possible to add :

vidcutter

This addon works for any firefox based browser but not seamonkey based or this.

I wondered if you could implement the iceweasel one for Iceape.

The security issues regarding the package which led to the package’s removal from Hyperbola (old WebKit and Vala dependency) have apparently been resolved in recent releases, see the new comment in this bug report and the latest PKGBUILD in Arch’s repo.

Description:
Hyperbola has the following SPF implementations:
* libspf2
* perl-mail-spf
* perl-mail-spf-query

However, none of them work out of the box with postfix. There’s postfix-policyd-spf-perl, which uses one the current perl implementations (perl-mail-spf), takes no time to build and all the dependencies are already satisfied with Hyperbola’s packages

Here I made a PKGBUILD that’s compliant with the packaging standards:

pkgname=postfix-policyd-spf-perl
pkgver=2.011
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Postfix SPF policy engine, written in Perl'
arch=(i686 x86_64)

package() {
  cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}"

  install -Dm644 CHANGES INSTALL README -t "${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/${pkgname}"
  install -Dm644 LICENSE "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSE"
}

in the other hand, to give users the possibility of having more options, we could add pypolicyd-spf (AUR), which depends in pyspf (AUR) and other packages that Hyperbola has. In fact, ArchWiki talks about this implementation, but this might not be relevant.

A format is not known or recognized in the original code base. To add a string into at the audio section in xferc.in:

opus = "<audioplayer>,<audioplayer>,audacity;Opus Audio;mp3_32x32.png;mp3_16x16.png;;"

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.

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).

Description: Concurrent package ossp in version 1.3.2-15 has got dependencies to systemd, which is contradicting the whole distribution and the used INIT-system. Therefore my request to port this to OpenRC!

Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.3.2-15

https://github.com/loh-tar/wpa-cute/releases

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. ;)

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.

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!

These two options could be enabled :

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).

After confirming the newly created account (typing the confirmation code, the passwoard and its confirmation, and clicking the button to continue), the following error appears:

This is same issue as on:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151273

The paths changed and trying to mount davfs file system defined in /etc/fstab fails with error: unknown file system davfs

To remedy, I made symlink in /sbin to mount.davfs

The transition of paths had to take that in account as many mounted remote disks failed after upgrade.

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.
