I request please can add to the hyperbola repositories the packages: ‘telegram-purple’, ‘Mastodon plugin for Bitlbee’, ‘bitlbee-facebook’ and ‘funyahoo-plusplus’ of course this is subject to not cause conflicts of security and stability in the operating system, thank you very much in advance.

This bitlbee project wiki can be used as a reference.

Noscript, No Resource url leak, Random Agent Spoofer, Ublock Origin

Interestingly enough, HTTPS Always works with iceape-uxp and privacy settings and greasemonkey don’t work with either...

But I would like all of the above to work with iceape-uxp

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

* Searx support for YaCy: https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/blob/master/searx/engines/yacy.py

Version 1.0 requested

When you add Lumina desktop, add this package for sure. Although it is compatible with other desktops too. So it would be good to add it regardless.

Please, replace avideo-lts with youtube-dl. avideo-lts haven’t seen any updates for almost a year and is probably abandoned. Also Stallman confirmed youtube-dl doesn’t execute any non-free JavaScript, so its inclusion doesn’t go against Social Contract.

• OS name and version: Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.4
• Kernel name and version: Linux-libre 5.10.103-gnu1-1-lts
• Package name and version: yeahwm 0.3.5-2

The title says it above.

Using both methods to launch YeahWM with SLiM and xinit doesn’t work as it keeps crashing over the segmentation fault.

Description:

community/xwax 1.6-1
     Open-source vinyl emulation software for Linux.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

extra/xorg-xev 1.2.2-1 (xorg-apps xorg)
    Print contents of X events

Description is vague because of the word “content”. Why not say “X events information”. At least description shall be changed which is very public. For man page I am not sure.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description: Bug related to the font handling under Hyperbola. xfontsel doesn’t list the PCF bitmapped fonts, which are used for some legacy tools with Motif/Athena for instance. If you want to use a font with good coverage of symbols (misc fixed 10×20 iso10646-1) under DDD (for accented/non ASCII characters), you can’t, you are restricted to ASCII 9×15 fonts.

Additional info:
This error happens even if all -meta font meta-packages are installed.

Description:

community/wxcam 1.1-9
     Webcam application for linux

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

community/wireshark-qt 2.2.6-1

Description:

community/wireshark-gtk 2.2.6-1
     a free network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows - GTK frontend

See:

Please remove references to proprietary software.

Description:

community/wireshark-cli 2.2.6-1
     a free network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows - CLI version

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

I would remove Unix and Windows from description as those words steer users towards non-free proprietary software.

community/wireshark-cli 2.2.6-1
    a free network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows - CLI version
community/wireshark-common 2.2.6-1
    Common files used by wireshark-gtk and wireshark-qt
community/wireshark-gtk 2.2.6-1
    a free network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows - GTK frontend
community/wireshark-qt 2.2.6-1
    a free network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows - Qt frontend

It’s better to change to a more neutral description such as “a cross-platform network protocol analyzer - CLI/GTK/Qt version”.

Could it be possible to add :

whipper

“A Unix CD ripper aiming for accuracy over speed – forked from morituri”

https://www.parabola.nu/packages/community/any/whipper/ https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper

License : GPL3

Thanks

Hello,

Would it be possible to add this package :

wekan

“Wekan is an completely Open Source and Free software collaborative kanban board application”

https://github.com/wekan/wekan

License : MIT

Thanks

Description:

extra/webkitgtk 2.4.11-6.hyperbola1
    Legacy Web content engine for GTK+ 3, without geoclue2 support

The description is vague. There is not even need to use “content” here. Web engine should be very clear. “Content” alone does not make sense.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

extra/webkit2gtk 2.16.1-3.hyperbola1 [installed]
    GTK+ Web content engine library, without geoclue2 support

The description is vague as it is using “content” in description. Why not say “elements” or something more descriptive.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

The description of the package need to be changed to accommodate:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

To refer to published works as “assets”, or “digital assets”, is even worse than calling them “content” — it presumes they have no value to society except commercial value.

community/warsow-data 2.1.2-1.hyperbola2
    Free online multiplayer competitive FPS based on the Qfusion engine (data files), without nonfree assets

Hello,

Could it be possible to add this package :

w_scan

“Universal ATSC and DVB blind scanner”

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/w_scan/

License : GPL

Thanks

here is the description from the website

https://github.com/ruediger/VobSub2SRT

VobSub2SRT is a simple command line program to convert .idx / .sub subtitles into .srt text subtitles by using OCR. It is based on code from the MPlayer project - a really really great movie player. Some minor parts are copied from ffmpeg/avutil headers. Tesseract is used as OCR software.

vobsub2srt is released under the GPL3+ license. The MPlayer code included is GPL2+ licensed.

The quality of the OCR depends on the text in the subtitles. Currently the code does not use any preprocessing. But I’m currently looking into adding filters and scaling options to improve the OCR. You can correct mistakes in the .srt files with a text editor or a special subtitle editor.

Attached is a working PKGBUILD for the latest stable version.

Current VLC version (3.0.4-3.hyperbola1.backports1) fails to play DVB stream using a RTL2832 usb dongle.

I start the playlist like this :

vlc channels.conf

but it returns the following error :

cache_block stream error: cannot pre fill buffer

Also, it asks the user to be in “video” group to access DVB device, this was not needed before with Hyperbola 0.2.9. User being in “wheel” was enough.
Anyway, even after adding my user to video group, it still fails with “cache_block stream error: cannot pre fill buffer”

This is not an issue with my DVB adapter or driver. rtl2832 is correctly loaded. And I can play the channels.conf playlist just fine with “mpv” or “mplayer”.
Also, the channels.conf used works just fine with a more recent version of VLC on an other system (Manjaro) so something is broken with the current VLC used.

Maybe a package bump would fix the issue.

Could it be possible to add :

vidcutter

“A modern, simple to use, constantly evolving and hella fast MEDIA CUTTER + JOINER w/ frame-accurate SmartCut technology + Qt5, libmpv, FFmpeg and MediaInfo powering the backend.”
