Packages

Adapt package in accordance with the Hyperbola Packaging Guidelines to follow the Hyperbola Social Contract .

This package contains vague terminology “Open Source”:

extra/xsd 4.0.0-2
    An open-source, cross-platform W3C XML Schema to C++ data binding compiler

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

We shall avoid vague terminology such as “Open Source”, please see here:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Open

It would be good example to set to have proper description of packages without using “Open Source”.

eg.

A free-software, cross-platform W3C XML Schema to C++ data binding compiler

We seem to have a very old version of xscreensaver... Could you possibly update it?

this may be a security issue/privacy issue.

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.

xmind when installed is showing that “this version is not licensed”, so that cannot be right. Even though there is GPL license on Github, that vague information in the software can and is wrongly understood:

Further it is asking for license key to get the “Pro” version.

Thus xmind is pointing to proprietary software.

That means xmind shall be removed from Hyperbola immediately as such as it is now cannot be in the fully free GNU distribution.

Description: Package xlsfonts is missing and should absolutely being added also within groups for ‘xenocara-apps’ and ‘xorg-apps’.

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.

In the latest version fixes several minor bugs and search file function issue[1].

Two formats (including HTML and PHP) are provided to run semi-libre/free web browser Mozilla Firefox in the original code base, but it currently got blacklisted due to numerous branding, security and privacy issues, and replaced by the Hyperbola Iceweasel-UXP. To replace existing strings at the web section in xferc.in:

html = "iceweasel-uxp,iceweasel-uxp,<txteditor>;Hyper Text;html_32x32.png;html_16x16.png;;"
htm = "iceweasel-uxp,iceweasel-uxp,<txteditor>;Hyper Text;html_32x32.png;html_16x16.png;;"
php = "iceweasel-uxp,iceweasel-uxp,<txteditor>;PHP Source;html_32x32.png;html_16x16.png;;"

A format is not known or recognized in the original code base. To add a string into at the audio section in xferc.in:

opus = "<audioplayer>,<audioplayer>,audacity;Opus Audio;mp3_32x32.png;mp3_16x16.png;;"

I probably should’ve mentioned this before, but if it is set to suspend when lid is closed, it should automatically lock. if the security option: lock screen with system is set to sleep is tweaked on it doesn’t lock always.

This is word for word what I wrote in the forums, but yeah... it is a problem say if someone wants to use your laptop without your permission and can do so.

But it is also a problem if you set it to lock instead because it is more prone to overheating when your not using it, and it doesn’t suspend quickly enough.

I have tried this many times and the same story can be told, again and again.

I think this issue should be considered high or critical merely because of the privacy risk if someone gets their hands on your laptop while its on. Even if you have been away... :/

I wonder if anyone else has this issue... well you guys will tell me I am sure. if critical doesn’t match what you think I am sure you will change it. ;)

I’m encountering this bug when using latest Pale Moon (version 2.8.0.1).

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=19941&sid=3cd95f0870b5cef74c582eb9a3ea778a

The bug doesn’t only affect the preferences dialog - other windows are not rendered correctly either such as DownThemAll! add-on (see attached image).

The suggested fix is to update the intel driver (the about:config suggested change makes the preference dialog usable but other windows such as DownThemAll! still aren’t displayed correctly).

I’m using a T60 with intel graphics.

Description:
Context menu not being highlighted in UXP applications such as Iceweasel-UXP. This issue is generated in machines with i915 graphic cards using the Intel graphics driver .

Additional info:
* package version(s): 52.9.0_20180601-7

Steps to reproduce:

• Install Iceweasel-UXP:

  # pacman -S iceweasel-uxp

• Run Iceweasel-UXP:

  ~ iceweasel-uxp

• Open new tabs with right click to use context menu.

While the X session is still running, did anyone happen key bindings being unresponsive? A few lines of errors appeared from xkbcomp because of a missing keyboard symbol on the single TTY. It reads:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> error:   Could not resolve keysym XF86FullScreen
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

This package contains vague terminology “Open Source”:

extra/xapian-core 1:1.4.2-1
    Open source search engine library.

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

We shall avoid vague terminology such as “Open Source”, please see here:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Open

It would be good example to set to have proper description of packages without using “Open Source”.

eg.

Free software search engine library.
