Task Description
Description:
community/ext3grep 0.10.2-4
A tool to investigate an ext3 file system for deleted content and possibly recover it
Description is vague because of the word “content”. Why not say instead “data”?

Task Description
Description:
community/webfs 1.21-13
Simple and instant http server for mostly static content.
Description is vague because of the word “content”. Why not simply say “files” instead and be more specific.
Even empty files without data inside can be served.

Task Description
Description:
community/openstreetmap-map-icons-svn 31588-1 [installed]
A set of public domain licensed map icons for general OSM use
It is questionable if it is “Licensed” or dedicated.
See the file: /usr/share/licenses/openstreetmap-map-icons/svg-twotone/LICENSE.txt
it does not matter if the file is named “LICENSE”, it could be also named anyhow else.
There must be reason why the organization Creative Commons is not using the word “License” in that text, and that is why I propose to simply say in description:
A set of public domain map icons for general OSM use

A collection of freely re-usable Autoconf macros
See: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#FreelyAvailable
Don’t use “freely available software” as a synonym for “free software.” The terms are not equivalent. Software is “freely available” if anyone can easily get a copy. “Free software” is defined in terms of the freedom of users that have a copy of it. These are answers to different questions.

Task Description
Description: Per a user request and to better secure the kernel, we can embed the cryptsetup and ciphers in the kernel. This would mean rather than exposed modules, they are built-in to the kernel and ready to use even without an intramfs.
To be embedded: ciphers aes, twofish, serpent; sha256, sha512 - and the necessary modules (don’t forget the block modes xts, lvm and cryptsetup …)
Additionally, we could include USB Guard and any other features that meet our social contract and security outlook.

Stable | Update Request | Very Low | Critical | [qt5] request for upgrade | Closed | |
Task Description
I know that upgrading Qt is not a trivial task, but would it be possible to do this anyway? Qt 5.8 has issues that other versions do not have. See for example the discussion here about Projecteur, a very useful tool. Hyperbola seems to be the only Linux distribution unable to run it, just because of Qt 5.8:

Stable | Implementation Request | Very Low | Medium | [gcc] Renew to version 8 or 9, including multilib | Closed | |
Task Description
As even the support for GCC 7 is now ending with the release of version 7.5 (https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2019-11/msg00099.html) I’d like to propose a renewal of the building-stack - which I think is also needed in time. Also a renewal of the glibc would be good at all!
