Packages

pm-utils is no longer maintained from a long time . Therefore, it should be removed from repos since Hyperbola contains an amendment about anti-abandonware through its packaging guidelines .

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.

This morning while I was working on my X200, I noticed that my CPU was kept 100% busy for a long time by some process which was obvioulsy eating up the battery life. The culprit was pacman-key, triggered by logrotate.

To stop this, I did ‘chmod -x /etc/cron.daily/pacman-key’ and I rebooted.

Later on, it was impossible to install a new package as it was impossible to get over the step marked as “checking keys in keyring...”

So I tried to do again ‘pacman-key –refresh-keys’: the overall process took more than an hour—behind a fast and robust internet connection. I finally got three lines, saying that about 1,000 keys were updated but I never got the prompt back. So I hit Ctrl-C.

At the time of writing, I am still trying to refresh the keys—a quite desperate attempt, if I may say so.

Although I tagged this report as a “Feature request”, it is in my opinion of quite some importance. I understand very well the absolute necessity to always have the keys updated, but in this particular case, with so many keys and so frequent updates, I begin to wonder if losses are not beginning to prevail over benefits.

Unless I am doing something wrong or missing something I should do?

Any help would be strongly appreciated.

Description:

Please remove "mtab", "modules-load" and "swclock" init scripts.

"mtab" is a deprecated and unmaintained init script,
because filesystem contains a mtab soft link.

"modules-load" init script, is a systemd compatibility configuration
to load the kernel modules from the "/etc/modules-load" configuration
directory.
This init script is useless, because the "modules" init script exists
and it's a duplicated feature.
If you need a module to load a module, just configure "/etc/conf.d/modules"
and start the "modules" init script or add a module in
the "/etc/mkinitcpio.conf" and run mkinitcpio -p $yourkernel

"swclock" is an useless init script, because is a service
setting the local clock based on last shutdown time.
If a machine doesn't support "/etc/rtc", then disable "clock_hctosys" and
"clock_systohc" from "/etc/conf.d/hwclock" with or without
NTP server/client. For chroot environments,"osclock" init script is the way.

Steps to reproduce:

Enable the unused init scripts

Description:

Some init scrips are forced to load in certain runlevels by default (eg. boot) when 
OpenRC is upgraded. It isn't good for virtualization environments like chroot that
doesn't require it to work.

Those scripts are:
* /etc/init.d/dmesg
* /etc/init.d/hwclock
* /etc/init.d/keymaps
* /etc/init.d/killprocs
* /etc/init.d/local
* /etc/init.d/loopback
* /etc/init.d/modules
* /etc/init.d/mount-ro
* /etc/init.d/swap
* /etc/init.d/sysctl

Note: "/etc/init.d/dmesg" should be loaded in "boot" runlevel instead of "sysinit" one at the first installation time.

Note: "/etc/init.d/local" should be loaded in "sysinit" runlevel instead of "default" and "nonetwork" one at the first installation time.

Description:

Some init scrips are forced to load in certain runlevels by default (eg. boot) when

It isn't good for virtualization environments like chroot that doesn't require it to

The aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers from [community] is compiled using the blobbed Linux kernel sources[0], and in Parabola it has been replaced with aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-libre-api-headers[1].
This issue is exactly the same as linux-api-headers, so it should be blacklisted and replaced using the Linux-libre source.

The aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers package from [community] compiles using the blobbed Linux kernel source[0], at Parabola it has been replaced with aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-libre-api-headers[1], since this issue is exactly the same as with linux-api-headers.

The solution is to simply compile using Linux-libre sources.

Uses that require explicit approval
Distributing a modified version of the Rust programming language or the Cargo package manager and calling it Rust or Cargo requires explicit, written permission from the Rust core team. We will usually allow these uses as long as the modifications are (1) relatively small and (2) very clearly communicated to end-users.
Selling t-shirts, hats, and other artwork or merchandise requires explicit, written permission from the Rust core team. We will usually allow these uses as long as (1) it is clearly communicated that the merchandise is not in any way an official part of the Rust project and (2) it is clearly communicated whether profits benefit the Rust project.
Using the Rust trademarks within another trademark requires written permission from the Rust core team except as described above.

Since it violates the freedom to redistribute without “explicit” approval, this is a freedom issue.

The man page of pacman says:

DESCRIPTION
        Pacman is a package management utility that tracks installed packages on a Linux
        system

And I propose to change “Linux system” to “GNU/Linux system”.

xmind when installed is showing that “this version is not licensed”, so that cannot be right. Even though there is GPL license on Github, that vague information in the software can and is wrongly understood:

Further it is asking for license key to get the “Pro” version.

Thus xmind is pointing to proprietary software.

That means xmind shall be removed from Hyperbola immediately as such as it is now cannot be in the fully free GNU distribution.

Please repackage or replace with free software which provides similar functionality such as MacroFusion (which is available in the AUR).

The package cannot be installed. Here is the terminal output:

$ sudo pacman -S luminancehdr
