Description:

Searx is better in the short term than search engines like Google and DuckDuckGo in that the client-side JavaScript is free and the server-side code is free and public. However, in the long term it can never be a real replacement for non-free search engines while it relies on non-free search engines for data. At this time, the major general purpose search engines who use their own data are all controlled by corporations like Google and Microsoft. The YaCy search engine addresses this by relying on decentralized data based on p2p.

For this reason, I believe that YaCy is socially a better choice than Searx as the default search engine for Iceweasel-UXP. However, it is not at this time a practically better choice. Since YaCy relies on its users to index the web, and does not currently have many users, the search results are not very good. This creates a chicken-and-egg problem, since it will be difficult for YaCy to gain users while its search results are poor.

However, Searx supports YaCy as a source of search engine results. I don’t know of any Searx instances which have YaCy support enabled, presumably since YaCy support would only be useful to users who have YaCy installed locally and running on http://localhost:8090, but Hyperbola could run its own Searx instance, enable YaCy support plus DuckDuckGo, and make this the default search engine for Iceweasel-UXP. This way, Iceweasel-UXP users can use and contribute to YaCy, but supplement YaCy’s search results with results from DuckDuckGo until YaCy becomes strong enough to stand on its own.

Additional info:

* AUR package for YaCy: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yacy

Description: opmsg is a replacement for gpg which can encrypt/sign/verify your mails or create/verify detached signatures of local files. Even though the opmsg output looks similar, the concept is entirely different.

Please add xfce4-alsa-plugin (to get rid of pulseaudio plugin on xfce)

License: GPL3

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-alsa-plugin/ https://github.com/equeim/xfce4-alsa-plugin

A format is not known or recognized in the original code base. To add a string into at the audio section in xferc.in:

opus = "<audioplayer>,<audioplayer>,audacity;Opus Audio;mp3_32x32.png;mp3_16x16.png;;"

Some users use emacs as a tiling window manager. Please add EXWM[0]

Safe Eyes is a program to manage breaks in front of the computer. It has many features that help us adapt it to our needs.

The IDE codelite is an excellent development environment, continuously updated, has a clear vision and active support.
Would be nice to have this one within the repositories in upcoming releases, perhaps 0.5?

CHDKPTP is part of CHDK project - a free software firmware add-on for Canon cameras. It enables controlling Canon cameras via the computer.

Attached is a modified iup PKGBUILD (Lua 5.3 build was removed as it failed to compile) and configuration files for chdkptp.

Code is available via svn:

$ svn co http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/chdkptp/trunk chdkptp

Copy chdkptp.sh and config.mk files to source tree then compile via make. Requires root privileges to connect to a camera.

Is that package worth using to generate every sentence of any kind?

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

We should check if the following packages run any non-free JS (like youtube-dl) or access a proprietary API:

- hub
- python-pygithub
- python2-pygithub

I haven’t check them, but they look fishy. Take it as a reminder, this is far from being urgent IMO.

What do you think ? Avideo is not updated anymore, can’t we use regular youtube-dl instead as RMS himself say :

“youtube-dl is okay to be in the Directory because it does not actually execute nonfree JS as we first suspected.”

Description:

[gnupg]: shall be upgraded to mitigate risks with new vulnerabilities as explained on:
https://neopg.io/blog/encryption-spoof and on
https://gnupg.org/

The current version of the package icewm within the Hyperbola-repositories is 1.3.8. The latest version is 1.6.3!
An update would be helpful as this window-manager follows absolutely the principles of the distribution Hyperbola itself, being simple and fast.

This is another addon I would like support indefinitely for Iceweasel-UXP:

It blocks etag tracking and other nasty forms of tracking.

But again, you would need to make the changes based on the newer versions only for legacy and without WebExt required of course.

Description: Zoom web pages either per-site or per-tab, with optional fit-to-width and minimum text size, using the toolbar button, context menu, keyboard shortcuts or mouse wheel.

Additional info: This extension can be used as a workaround to old Firefox bug: Set a Default Text Size (or Page Zoom Level) in Tools > Options > Content > Default Page Size - External Link

Description: Thanks for the actual release of Icedove in combination with UXP. But for now support for Lightning / Iceowl is missing. Could you please add this package again, either within Icedove-UXP itself or as another addon compatible with UXP?

Or if you know a more libre calendar addon that is easy to use/reliable, feel free!

This is my only other package needed besides ublock origin/enigmail. :)

Please, package and backport the docker CE for Hyperbola Milky Way.

For reference, see the package docker in the Parabola.

What I miss very much is “mail merge”. For example, I had to send 102 personalized emails to my students, as the term is beginning. The only way to do that was to revert to the previous non-uxp icedove.

But but immediately after that, I reinstalled icedove-uxp, of course!

Another very useful addon is cardbook (or any equivalent) as it allows to work with remote calendars and contacts.

Actually, I don’t like to work with remote calendars or contacts. But some of my colleagues do. The only condition I set is to work with trustworthy providers using free software exclusively. But they do exist.

Hello, would it be possible to have the addon uMatrix ported to be used within the UXP-platform? The addon is complete open and can be found here https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix

I’ve tried to install different versions and it seems to be incompatible with the concurrent version of Iceweasel-UXP from the repositoy.

random_agent_spoofer-0.9.5.8.4-fx.xpi is the version I desire, can you implement it?
