Hello,

Could it be possible to add this package :

python-cheat

“Cheat allows you to create and view interactive cheatsheets on the command-line.”

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-cheat/

License : GPL3

Thanks

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

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:

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):

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.

Hello,

Could it be possible to add this package :

powerpill

“Pacman wrapper for faster downloads.”

Thanks

Description:
The title says everything

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

Additional info:
* postgrey-1.37-1

Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background.

Please implement plymouth as an optional package.

The description of the package need to be changed to accommodate:

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.

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

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.

This Python script enables users to use PayPal without proprietary JavaScript. The package requires newer Python modules than those provided by Hyperbola.

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

When updating packages this warning appears:

warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/sbin/

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.

As per this bug report the MEGA plugin cannot be compiled using the OpenSSL version provided in hyperbola.

https://github.com/mcrapet/plowshare-module-mega/issues/18

This described solution works (I successfully upgraded the package to version 1.0.2r).

  Install the openssl-1.0 package.
  Run ./configure with the following arguments:

./configure –enable-local OPENSSL_LIBS=’-L/usr/lib/openssl-1.0 -lssl -lcrypto’ OPENSSL_CFLAGS=’-I/usr/include/openssl-1.0’

  run make

Unfortunately this solution (upgrading openssl-1.0) breaks some other packages such as phantomjs and avidemux, so it would be great if the package could be upgraded by Hyperbola’s developers alongside all its dependencies.

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).

Description:

Since the latest update of openrc, I am under the impression that the scripts in /etc/local.d are not executed anymore upon boot or shutdown. rc.log shows nothing though.

Additional info:
* openrc 0.28-18

Steps to reproduce:

Write a dummy script which says hello in /etc/local.d, make it executable and see that it is discarded.

I added
<quote>modules=”fs-fuse”</quote>
to /etc/conf.d/modules (and also “fuse” instead).

I looked in /var/log/rc.log and I see this line

<quote>modprobe: FATAL: Module fs-fusetun not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.194-gnu-1-lts</quote>

It looks like modprobe added “tun” to the filename which prevents loading the module.
