Packages

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.

Since DNSCrypt-Proxy project has been abandoned [0] , DNSCrypt-Proxy 2 [1] should be used as its source replacement, however DNSCrypt-Proxy 2 contains support for unsafe and dangerous for privacy protocols such as Google. [2] [3] [4] Also, it contains Google recommendation and support through its parental control servers and public resolvers lists [5] [6]

Therefore DNSCrypt-Proxy 2 requires be re-forked by us first to follow our social contract.

Since Linux 4.14, the in-tree kernel firmware was dropped[0][1], and Hyperbola uses linux-libre-lts-firmware from 4.9 which still supports that firmware.

However, I’d like to request upgrading to the new libre replacement of linux-firmware.git: linux-libre-firmware[2][3].

This version has no LTS releases (well, firmwares commonly don’t have LTS versions and the in-tree firmware was always the same in post-4.9 generations), but it has the same firmwares as Linux-libre-lts plus some others.

This is the list of firmware files in linux-libre-lts-firmware and its dependencies:

linux-libre-lts-firmware

/usr/lib/firmware/av7110/bootcode.bin
/usr/lib/firmware/dsp56k/bootstrap.bin

/usr/lib/firmware/b43-open/b0g0initvals5.fw

And here are the firmware files of the new linux-libre-firmware:

It has openfwwf and ath9k-htc-firmware included, plus some others. If actual versions of Hyperbola don’t get the update at least consider it for future releases. You can get the new PKGBUILD[4] and its new build dependencies at Parabola’s abslibre.git libre tree[5]

The new dependencies are:

• sh-elf-gcc (which depends on sh-elf-binutils)

• sh-elf-newlib

• arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (which depends on arm-linux-gnueabi-binutils)

• xtensa-unknown-elf-gcc (already at Hyperbola)

Updated Note:

Since Linux-libre-firmware contains a lot of independent firmware, tools and assembly projects, it should be built from its official tarball separately and create a group called kernel-firmware to follow the our packaging guidelines. Tools and assembly projects shouldn’t be included in kernel-firmware since those ones are firmware dependencies.

Please, replace avideo-lts with youtube-dl. avideo-lts haven’t seen any updates for almost a year and is probably abandoned. Also Stallman confirmed youtube-dl doesn’t execute any non-free JavaScript, so its inclusion doesn’t go against Social Contract.

Description:

• replace deprecated GNU Bazaar to Brezy for Canis Major

Additional info:

• bzr 2.7.0-2
• GNU Bazaar will be unmaintained (for now, there are only bug fixes)
• GNU Bazaar only supports Python 2.
• Python 2.7 is the end of the Python 2 line of development. [0]
• There never will be an official Python 2.8 release.
• Or use Tauthon (fork of Python 2.7) as dependency.

Note: It needs a provide: bazaar and brezy

Steps to reproduce:

• broken package

Description:

• replace deprecated Python 2 to Tauthon for Canis Major

Additional info:

• python 2.7.14-2.hyperbola1
• Python 2.7 is the end of the Python 2 line of development. [0]
• There never will be an official Python 2.8 release.

Steps to reproduce:

• Broken python2 packages.

Description:

I used to be under the
impression that youtube-dl executes proprietary JavaScript, but I now
understand that it only *parses* the JavaScript to find the URL for some
videos. It doesn’t actually run the JavaScript, so it’s not a freedom
issue.

Youtube-dl only executes regular expressions [0][1][2]

you also remove the files that are just for testing [3][4][5][6][7]
and when compiling the program with libretools the test files are not placed[8]

I have consulted with other programmers and we have reached the same conclusion. Youtube-dl does not execute JS non-free, it only extracts the JS to read through python the URL‘s of some videos.[9][10]

The issues that I see with youtube-dl are rather in their form of development because it changes at every moment

Copio lo que puse en irc:

<isacdaavid>: este parche de epiphany está removiendo cosas de más. Si te fijas aca verás que lo que ese código hace es proteger la privacidad contra google y facebook.

<isacdaavid>: https://git.parabola.nu/abslibre.git/tree/libre/epiphany/privacy.patch#n162 sólo está probando si el spyware está siendo removido efectivamente. Tampoco veo necesidad de mantener lo de la línea #122 (lo único que hace es cambiar el título de la ventana), ni lo de la línea #139 (sólo está probando que el parser de URLs funciona, no hace conexiones), y mucho menos quitar referencias a “google.com” en los comentarios.

<isacdaavid>: subiré mis cambios a parabola, por si te interesa usarlos.

Libreoffice contains Google API keys which affects privacy.

/etc/init.d/net-online
-----
Line #62
ping_test_host="${ping_test_host:-google.com}"
_____
/etc/conf.d/net-online
-----
# The default is google.com.

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.

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

As per a user report (https://forums.hyperbola.info/viewtopic.php?id=92), DDG is USA based search engine and is blocking Tor users (https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23648).
They are also using non-free JS on the default search.

It seems the best way to solve this is to use their “html” hidden service since it conceals the user IP, doesn’t block Tor users by default, and doesn’t need JS. https://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/html/

This will affect multiple applications that are currently using DuckDuckGo. The alternative is to remove it completely, but it still is a better option than Google et. all for privacy...

Description:

community/purple-facebook 0.9.3-1
    Facebook protocol plugin for libpurple

It is up to maintainers to decide of course. IMHO I would remove this one as it uses proprietary network Facebook, exclusively, and even mentioning the word in the package.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so.
