GeneralImplementation RequestDeferMedium ARM/POWER porting Closed
100%
Task Description

In particular, I would like to see the a20 arm processor supported and also, the talos 2 desktop supported. (powerpc)

The a20 is important because it will be supported by this: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop

I would really love to have buy this and see it supported by Hyperbola. :)

Within a year if you can support that, I would be extremely, extremely pleased.

as for the powerpc one, I don’t really plan on getting it, but I know that some people may, and I think that it would be good for them to be able to move onto hyperbola. The first is more important to me though.

By either December or next January, is when I would probably want it to be supported. :)

Also, ath9k usb wifi cards would need to be supported for this though... just to warn you.

I already am donating to you guys though through liberapay, please make this happen in the future. ;)

GeneralImplementation RequestVery HighCritical POWER (ppc64le) porting Closed
100%
Task Description

The unfortunate reality is that x86 computers come encumbered with built-in low-level backdoors like the Intel Management Engine , as well as nonfree boot firmware. This means that users can’t gain full control over their computers, even if they install a free operating system such as Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

Hyperbola is working hard to fix these issues and getting closer every day, but for the time being, this is why many current Respects Your Freedom (RYF) offerings are refurbished older devices.

For the future of free computing, we need support architectures that do not come with such malware pre-installed, and the Power9-based Talos II promises to be a great architecture example for workstations and servers environments where Hyperbola is focused since is a fully free long-term support distribution.

Devices like this are the future of computing that Respects Your Freedom and for that reason it’s a high priority for Hyperbola port all packages for the POWER architecture (power64le).

NOTE: POWER porting is focused only for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

GeneralImplementation RequestVery HighHigh Port Iceape to UXP platform  Closed
100%
Task Description

Description:
Historically, Iceape was a re-branding of Seamonkey by the Debian project, with minimal modifications, in order to resolve branding disputes.

As of December 2013 , Iceape was no longer being maintained by the Debian project and users were encouraged to migrate to other alternatives for security patches.

However, since Seamonkey is being maintained from Thunderbird source and Hyperbola is porting Icedove to UXP platform , it could be built on the UXP platform which contains multiple security and privacy improvements.

TODO list:

  • Change Iceape-UXP logo typeface from the non-free “Libertad Book” to free “DejaVU Sans”.
  • Rename Iceape to Iceape-UXP in logo typeface.
  • Check “Seamonkey” remaining references.
  • Fix/adapt confvars.sh to UXP-based applications. (eg. MOZ_APP_VERSION=52.9.`date –utc ‘+%Y%m%d’`)

GeneralImplementation RequestVery HighHigh Port Icedove to UXP platform Closed
100%
Task Description

Description:
Historically, Icedove was a re-branding of Mozilla Thunderbird by the Debian project, with minimal modifications, in order to resolve branding disputes. Debian since discontinued Icedove after reaching an agreement with Mozilla over the use of it’s trademark.

Otherwise, new Thunderbird will use Quantum, a platform that contains numerous privacy, freedom, and trademark issues, in addition to an ever expanding Google Chromium code base which breaks compatibility with previous versions. Therefore, i suggest port our current Icedove from the deprecated XUL platform to UXP one like our Iceweasel-UXP.

TODO list:

  • Remove SSL Error Reporting telemetry from installer/package-manifest.in. [0]
  • Add missing emoji browser/fonts/”TwemojiMozilla.ttf” library to UXP sources
  • Change Icedove-UXP logo typeface from the non-free “Libertad Book” to free “DejaVU Sans”.
  • Rename Icedove to Icedove-UXP in logo typeface.
  • Check “Thunderbird” remaining references.
  • Fix/adapt confvars.sh to UXP-based applications. (eg. MOZ_APP_VERSION=52.9.`date –utc ‘+%Y%m%d’`)

No root settings found in /etc/spacefm/ Setting a root editor in Preferences should remove this warning on startup. Otherwise commands run as root may present a security risk.

I am not sure how much of a risk this is, I will set it at high for now, but feel free to change it to low if its not a huge issue.

Iceweasel-UXPSecurity IssueVery LowHigh Noscript continual update request, Closed
100%
Task Description

I would like it if you could, fork noscript legacy and constantly update it based on the webext one’s changes without of course, using the webext.

What I mean, is be applying the new security fixes they put into the webext one (the ones you need)

and then, apply them into iceweasel-classic’s noscript.

Even if you plan on updating it once a month, this is critical in my opinion for keeping the browser safe.

5.1.85 is the current latest legacy noscript version within noscript.net’s website.

ps, this is doable right?

We don’t want obsolete software after all.

Task Description

Develop GNU/HyperBK patchset for toolchain (Glibc, Binutils and GCC) and packages.

PATCHING NOTE

Make sure the definitions are not simply duplicated from GNU/Linux' because that will eventually result in
out-of-sync definitions that break for us.

Example of triplet check:	linux*-gnu | gnu* | hyperbk-gnu)
Example of uname check:		Linux|GNU|GNU/*)
Example of C macro check:	defined(__linux__) || defined(__GNU__) || defined(__GLIBC__)
				[note: GNU/Hurd defines __GNU__, and GNU/HyperBK define __GLIBC__ as hardcoded macro]
Example of makefile check:	ifneq (, $(filter Linux GNU GNU_%, $(shell uname -s)))
				[note1: findstring matches subwords, use filter instead]
				[note2: list must be the first parameter, otherwise matching fails]
				[note3: "%" is make's wildcard]
Iceweasel-UXPImplementation RequestDeferLow Swiftweasel-UXP theme for Iceweasel-UXP Closed

Task Description

Description:
Historically, Swiftweasel was a Firefox-based application built on XUL platform around 2007 and abandoned in 2010. It was optimized for several architectures using the following methods such as the Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) and binary code optimization for computers with limited resources.

Since there are users encouraging us develop a Palemoon-based application , and Swiftweasel contains non-trademarked graphics and logos, we could port Swiftweasel to UXP platform as theme for Iceweasel-UXP.
