AnyReplace RequestVery HighCritical [kernel-firmware] split out firmware projects from linu ...Closed
100%
Task Description

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/keyspan_pda/keyspan_pda.fw

/usr/lib/firmware/b43-open/b0g0initvals5.fw
/usr/lib/firmware/b43-open/ucode5.fw

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

linux-libre-firmware
---
/usr/lib/firmware/av7110/bootcode.bin
/usr/lib/firmware/b43-open/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw

/usr/lib/firmware/usbduxsigma_firmware.bin

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.

AnyReplace RequestMediumMedium [hypervideo] stop the development of Hypervideo Closed
100%
Task Description

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

TestingReplace RequestVery LowMedium  replace request: NetworkManager with wpa_cute Closed
100%
Task Description

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. ;)

AnySecurity IssueMediumMedium [cinepaint] unmaintained and unsupportable Closed
100%
Task Description

Remove “cinepaint” package since it’s unmaintained and unsupportable. Also, it doesn’t contains any file format support in the latest version (previous version supported multiple file formats).

I suggest use Krita (or Gimp 2.10) to edit 16bit and 32bit file formats or convert with imagemagick/graphicsmagick.

AnySecurity IssueVery HighCritical [midori] unmaintained and unsupportable Closed
100%
Task Description

The developer team is discussing the removal of Midori from Debian repositories.

Jeremy Bicha says:


> The final stable release of Midori still uses the unmaintained WebKit1
> instead of webkit2gtk and therefore the browser suffers from numerous
> known security vulnerabilities. Midori now fails to build with vala
> 0.36 which is in Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha and will be in Debian unstable
> once it clears the Debian new queue.

100%
Task Description

pam_unix2 was removed from Debian Jessie because it’s buggy and unmaintained [0]

It’s included inside pam package and should be removed since it doesn’t comes from official source. Also the original upstream FTP directory (ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/kukuk/pam/pam_unix2) has disappeared.
