As per a recent discovery, we should check if our deepin is affected by the CNZZ spyware in the AppStore.

We also shouldn’t use the AppStore if it exists, due to non-free apps.

Description:

community/purple-facebook 0.9.3-1
    Facebook protocol plugin for libpurple

It is up to maintainers to decide of course. IMHO I would remove this one as it uses proprietary network Facebook, exclusively, and even mentioning the word in the package.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so.

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

Since DNSCrypt-Proxy project has been abandoned [0] , DNSCrypt-Proxy 2 [1] should be used as its source replacement, however DNSCrypt-Proxy 2 contains support for unsafe and dangerous for privacy protocols such as Google. [2] [3] [4] Also, it contains Google recommendation and support through its parental control servers and public resolvers lists [5] [6]

Therefore DNSCrypt-Proxy 2 requires be re-forked by us first to follow our social contract.

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

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

/usr/lib/firmware/av7110/bootcode.bin

/usr/lib/firmware/usbduxfast_firmware.bin
/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.
