Packages

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.

“appmenu-qt4”[0][2] is a deprecated package (release in 2012)[1] and use qt4 unsupported/non-lts software[3], but “appmenu-qt5” not contains any release source code[2]

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 already works for it, but I just thought I would request it to be put in.

Error detected in ntfs-3g.

Description:

Gajim XMPP Client wont start after installing python2-gnupg.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

  community/python2-gnupg 0.4.0-2
  extra/gajim 0.16.8-1.hyperbola2

* config and/or log files etc.

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gajim/common/gajim.py

Steps to reproduce:

With Gajim working is not possible to assign an OpenPGP key because it needs a wrapper. Therefore python2-gnupgp package is needed. But after installing python2-gnupgp, Gajim doesn’t start. The following output is displayed from the console:

07/21/2018 18:00:41 (E) gajim.c.gnupg Unable to run gpg - it may not be available.
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnupg.py", line 761, in __init__
  raise OSError(msg)

OSError: Unable to run gpg - it may not be available.

After doing some search, the issue is that gajim.py is trying to call ‘gpg’ as ‘gpg1’.

# grep -n GPG_BINARY /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gajim/common/gajim.py
162:GPG_BINARY = ‘gpg1’

By replacing ‘gpg’ instead of ‘gpg1’, Gajim will start normally with OpenPGP feature available.

Maybe a newer revision of python2-gnupg is required or maybe a small patch in the current package.

The title says that above if without having required library dependencies for most of them under 32-bit.

Iosevka wins a poll about most beautiful fonts on reddit (/r/linux). This font is very similar than Droid Sans (Official Google Font) with many advantages:

1 - Has 5 types modes (lightest, light, normal, bold, super bold)
2 - Condensed and big sizes (perfect for visual impairments users)
3 - Very Legible on i3-wm, Sway, Conky bar
4 - OTF license (Freedom license)

Iosevka is already on AUR, but create a official package prevent bug or proprietary third parties apps (Yaourt, etc) be installed by beginners Hyperbola users.

The OpenRC services should be added to runlevels through installing process instead be forced each time when openrc package is upgraded, because some sysadmins need customize them and are useful for Xen environments.
