Package ssmtp is unmaintained:

ssmtp is unmaintained. Consider using something like msmtp instead. (source)

So it violates point 4 of our packaging guidelines “Anti-abandonware”, because it’s abandoned and has a replacement (msmtp)

The CGManager project has been deprecated in favor of using the kernel’s CGroup Namespace or lxcfs’ simulated cgroupfs.

See https://s3hh.wordpress.com/2016/06/18/whither-cgmanager/ for details.

pm-utils is no longer maintained from a long time . Therefore, it should be removed from repos since Hyperbola contains an amendment about anti-abandonware through its packaging guidelines .

osdbattery is (probably) useless and broken so Conky did compete because It is still unmaintained and unsupported over 14 years ago (last released version 1.4 on August 23, 2005), and should be removed per anti-abandonware rule at the packaging guidelines.

Also, the default config file contains non-libre/free Microsoft font Verdana as X11 font format property in font variable.

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.

On AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-iosevka

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.

Example:

this package is under gpl3. It is the most reasonable chess game because it can be easy or hard depending on your preference.

Add “rbash” executable symlink in “bash” package:

$ ln -s bash /usr/bin/rbash

See:
$ man 1 bash

We already have i3lock, this version is an enhanced version available in Arch AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/i3lock-color https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/i3lock-color-git/

It would be awesome to have a kernel like this imported to hyperbola.

https://www.parabola.nu/packages/kernels/x86_64/linux-libre-lts-xtreme/

I use Nextcloud for syncing, although, I would normally not ask for this, due to Nextcloud’s appimage being available, but for some reason the latest version doesn’t work on hyperbola. So... yeah.

Usually Nextcloud’s appimage works regardless of what packages you have, so I guess in essence... add Nextcloud-client package to this system is my request.

Cinnamon currently does not support elogind, and depends on systemd. A patch is needed to fix this issue.

I have noticed that the version of scribus that is available in hyperbola does not have the option of spelling correction and by references of the official scribus channel indicate that scribus has to be built with hunspell. I do not understand how that is done, I just need to be able to correct spelling from scribus.

Description:

I just guess that this script cleanup_digikamdb depends on kreadconfig which is not there.

Additional info:

extra/digikam 5.5.0-2.hyperbola1 [installed]

  Digital photo management application for KDE

Steps to reproduce:

$ cleanup_digikamdb

/usr/bin/cleanup_digikamdb: line 61: kreadconfig: command not found

                  Cleanup Databases v1.1 (digiKam )                    

————————————————————————-
/usr/bin/cleanup_digikamdb: line 61: kreadconfig: command not found
This program only handles SQLite databases.

Description: As mentioned in Bug #18, our VLC plugin was not maintained in some time and the deprecated addon was removed. However, upstream is actively working on the plugin as per: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/npapi-vlc/tree/master

We should build this from source and re-package.

The package appears in parabola’s pcr repository. I modified the AUR PKGBUILD to compile the last stable version (and the installation works fine). Please add this package to the official repos.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dreamchess-git/ https://www.parabola.nu/packages/pcr/x86_64/dreamchess-git/

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.

Description: Newsboat is an ncursers RSS/Atom feedreader. RSS and Atom are a number of widely-used XML formats to transmit, publish and syndicate articles, for example news or blog articles. Newsboat is designed to be used on text terminals on Unix or Unix-like systems such as GNU/Linux, FreeBSD or macOS.

Newsboat is a fork of Newsbeuter. The only difference is that Newsboat is actively maintained while Newsbeuter isn’t.

Additional info: Official Website: https://newsboat.org/

License(s): custom: MIT

Version: newsboat 2.13-1
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/newsboat/

Reason of Request Less bloat than Liferea and easy to maintenance. Sites news are more ethical and decentralized than read the “news” on centralized Social Networks (Bubbles).

Description:
GNU Guix is a purely functional package manager that can coexist peacefully with GNU/Linux distribution’s native package manaer and allows unprivileged per-user software installation.
Guix depends on several guile libraries not yet present in Hyperbola repo that need to be packaged too.

I have already prepared the necessary PKGBUILDs (attached to this task)
