Packages

rrip_gui does not work. The fix is to install cairo-gobject which is not in the repos. Attached is a working PKGBUILD adapted from the official one.

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/retroarch-assets-xmb 401-1 (libretro)
    XMB menu assets for RetroArch

Why not use “elements” instead?

purple-plugin-pack provides access to Napster which is only useful with a single company and sever (as far as I could tell).

Package is a libpurple plugin for the Matrix protocol which is consistent with Hyperbola’s social contract as Matrix is a federated protocol.

Source code can be found here licensed under GPLv2:

https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix

PKGBUILD for git version is available here (last stable release is from two years ago so git version is probably the best version to use):

Description:

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

community/pinta 1.6-2 [installed]
     Drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It's goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users

I am not quite sure what the policy is in Hyperbola on this one. I am referring to the reference to the proprietary software Paint.NET. That is for me steering users to verify what is Paint.NET – we shall not be doing it. It should be removed from description.

I am fine if authors have in documentation something explaining how they started software project. But I am not fine in descriptions which are public and accessible on Internet to have such references to illegitimate proprietary software.

Just to clarify, the word “alternative” is just fine in this description and need not be removed.
