osdbattery is (probably) useless and broken so Conky did compete because It is still unmaintained and unsupported over 14 years ago (last released version 1.4 on August 23, 2005), and should be removed per anti-abandonware rule at the packaging guidelines.

Also, the default config file contains non-libre/free Microsoft font Verdana as X11 font format property in font variable.

Hello,

Could it be possible to add this package :

pacpl

“Convert multiple audio types from one format to another.”

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

License : GPL

Dependencies needed (and currently missing in Hyperbola repo) :

perl-ogg-vorbis-header perl-mp4-info perl-mp3-tag perl-audio-flac-header perl-audio-musepack perl-parallel-forkmanager perl-cddb

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.

community/pinta 1.6-2 [installed]
     Drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It's goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users

I am not quite sure what the policy is in Hyperbola on this one. I am referring to the reference to the proprietary software Paint.NET. That is for me steering users to verify what is Paint.NET – we shall not be doing it. It should be removed from description.

I am fine if authors have in documentation something explaining how they started software project. But I am not fine in descriptions which are public and accessible on Internet to have such references to illegitimate proprietary software.

Just to clarify, the word “alternative” is just fine in this description and need not be removed.

Description:
The /usr/sbin directory in postfix has permissions 755
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/extra.git/tree/postfix/PKGBUILD#n115

And ‘filesystem’ sets it to 750
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/core.git/tree/filesystem/PKGBUILD#n135

So when installing postfix, pacman throws a warning

warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/sbin/
filesystem: 750  package: 755

Additional info:
* postfix-3.2.2-1.hyperbola6

Description:
The title says everything

Also, it doesn’t follow the FHS (/usr/bin/postgrey should be in /usr/sbin)

Additional info:

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/

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

PyBitmessage is a secure p2p e-mail alternative. It could be useful to package it.

Don’t use “freely available software” as a synonym for “free software.” The terms are not equivalent. Software is “freely available” if anyone can easily get a copy. “Free software” is defined in terms of the freedom of users that have a copy of it. These are answers to different questions.
