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 solution is to simply compile using Linux-libre sources.

gufw 17.04.1-3

Impossible to start application, error message :

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type: '/usr/sbin/ufw': '/usr/sbin/ufw'

/sbin/openrc-run: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I get this error whenever I try to start dhcpcd with sv /etc/runit/

And for sndiod I get this doing the same guide,

warning: sndiod: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist

Although rather ironically, If I type sndiod or dhcpcd into root, it works just fine.

Maybe its an FHS issue or possibly, I am screwing up? I am not sure. Feedback is welcome.

This is what I did:

=⇒ Add a service:

ln -s /etc/sv/<service> /var/service
==> Start/stop/restart a service:
sv <start/stop/restart> <service>

more or less, I used this guide.

There are issues with the current sndio-package as it seems not possible to get this to work with ALSA.

### Some context ###

I use hdajackretask on my G41M-ES2L motherboard (Libreboot)

Alsamixer doesn’t offer automute feature so every time I plug my headphones, the sound is playing by my speakers.
So to work around this, I use hdajackretask from alsa-tools package.

It allows to install a boot override to solve the issue.

Yesterday, I reinstalled Hyperbola on my system and the boot override because of missing /lib/firmware directory. (Although it was present before, something changed ?)

The error message was (I translate)

/mv: can't move '/tmp/hda-jack-retask-VH3KIZ/hda-jack-retask.fw' to /lib/firmware/hda-jack-retask.fw' No file or folder of this type

So I created a folder “firmware” in /lib/
and copied hda-jack-retask.fw in it.

Then I rebooted, 100% working.

I don’t know if the fix should apply to the PKGBUILD of alsa-tools (to create a /lib/firmware directory) or something else ?

Description:

Apache web server shall be running with or without the external network, and without NetworkManager.

rc-service httpd start

will give the message that NetworkManager must be started first, and will not start apache web server. I cannot find in which file is that written.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Disconnect network. Start computer.

2. Try to start apache with above command.

That makes no sense, as Apache can run on local network without NetworkManager and it is not written in the description.

Description:
The apache pkg has a symlink in /etc/httpd/modules which points to /usr/lib/httpd/modules, and it’s wrong because modules are now located at /usr/libexec/httpd/modules

Also, packages that have apache modules, like:

• extra/php-apache
• community/mod_wsgi
• community/mod_wsgi2

have them in the old location, so they need to be rebuilt.

Additional info:

• apache 2.4.38-1.hyperbola2

Avahi is a zero-configuration networking implementation that contains critical security issues because mDNS operates under a different trust model than unicast DNS trusting the entire network rather than a designated DNS server, it is vulnerable to spoofing attacks by any system within the multicast IP range. Like SNMP and many other network management protocols, it can also be used by attackers to quickly gain detailed knowledge of the network and its machines. [0]

Since it violates the Hyperbola Social Contract , Avahi should be blacklisted.

The current version of BleachBit needs to be adapted so it can clean the new .cache/hyperbola/ directory.

Since certbot v0.22.0[0] there’s support for ACMEv2 and Wildcard. This is an important update since wildcard SSL certificates can make server security and maintaince easier by supporting all subdomains of a base domain.

Debian Stretch (stable) uses certbot 0.10.2 but there’s 0.23.0 in stretch-backports repository[1]. So I’d like to request an update or a backport of certbot and its dependencies.

These are the actual packages versions from Hyperbola and Arch:

• certbot (0.23.0-1) / Hyperbola version ⇒ (0.14.0-1) [x]
• python-acme (0.23.0-1) / Hyperbola version ⇒ (0.14.0-1) [x]
• python-configargparse (0.12.0-1) / Hyperbola version ⇒ (0.11.0-2) [=]
• python-parsedatetime (2.4-1) / Hyperbola version ⇒ (2.3-1) [x]
• python-pbr (4.0.2-1) / Hyperbola version ⇒ (3.0.0-1) [<]
• python-pytz (2018.4-1) / Hyperbola version ⇒ (2017.2-1) [<]
• python-zope-component (4.4.1-1) / Hyperbola version ⇒ (4.3.0-2) [=]
• python-zope-event (4.3.0-1) / Hyperbola version ⇒ (4.2.0-2) [=]

NOTE: packages marked with an “[x]” means that the pkg has Debian Stretch backports of the proposed updated version. The “[=]” means that Debian has no backports but uses the same version of the pkg as Hyperbola. The [<] means the Debian Version lower than Hyperbola’s Version.

The packages that may get the update should be only the ones marked with an [x], if we follow the Debian Stretch devel. If certbot gets the update, then the following Arch packages need to be added for obtaining wildcard certificates throught the DNS challenge:

• certbot-dns-cloudflare
• certbot-dns-cloudxns
• certbot-dns-digitalocean
• certbot-dns-dnsimple
• certbot-dns-dnsmadeeasy
• certbot-dns-luadns
• certbot-dns-nsone
• certbot-dns-rfc2136
• certbot-dns-route53

I ommited certbot-dns-google since it’s not compatible with the Hyperbola Packaging Guidelines.

The CGManager project has been deprecated in favor of using the kernel’s CGroup Namespace or lxcfs’ simulated cgroupfs.

See https://s3hh.wordpress.com/2016/06/18/whither-cgmanager/ for details.

The audioplayer clementine uses interfaces for non-free services like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Subsonic and VK.com regarding storage and accessing files. So of course the software is licensed under the GPL, therefore Copyleft and free, libre software in the first place, but is also using anti-features with those interfaces to mentioned unfree services later on.

So the proposal would be: Creating a fork with removing those interfaces or otherwise removal of the whole package.

I’m writing here about the package Conky. It is the useful widget of system monitor into your desktop, but there are some serious issues:

Config variables

• distribution outputs the string “Arch Linux” instead of “Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre”.
• eve requires users to use API for non-libre/free video game EVE Online, and should be removed.
• All Beep Media Player (BMPx) related variables (including bmpx_album, bmpx_artist, bmpx_bitrate, bmpx_title, bmpx_track and bmpx_uri) are obselete and useless, and should be removed because the package BMPx isn’t present on Arch and Hyperbola official repositories but Arch User Repository (AUR).
• [For Milky Way version 0.4.x only] All PulseAudio related variables (including if_pa_sink_muted, pa_sink_volume, pa_sink_volumebar, pa_sink_description, pa_card_name and pa_card_active_profile) are no longer used, and should be removed due replaced the default audio server with sndio.

Manual

• Contains non-FDSG compliant distros.
• Contains vague terminology.
• Requires users to use API for non-libre/free weather network service(s) (including The Weather Channel).

In the latest version fixes several issues and font improvements[1], but unfortunately there is a major problem contained five three non-libre/free typefaces in the source code.

• Apple II (1977): a licence forbids to sell and modify. Already removed
• Commodore PET (1977): a licence forbids to sell and modify. Already removed
• Atari 400/800 (1979): in the latest version, there is a vague term “freeware”[2] in documentation, but forbids to sell and modify.
• Commercial 64 (1982): a licence forbids to sell. Already removed
• Monaco (modern): proprietary from Apple.

$ rm -fr "./app/qml/fonts/{1977-*,1979-atari-400-800,1982-commodore64,modern-monaco}/";

Also, I attached three QML source code diff files down below, by removing and replacing strings.
