Redmine Packages - Bug #3616 (unconfirmed): [qutebrowser] Wrongly pinned to 2.5.xhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/36162024-03-27T19:51:10ZThe-Compiler
<p>The PKGBUILD claims that:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>- freeze at v2.5.x (final releases with webkit support)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is incorrect. The current v3.1.0 release still supports QtWebKit.</p> Packages - Bug #3614 (unconfirmed): error starting apparmor https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/36142024-03-26T10:09:20ZCtIa
<p>I tried to start AppArmor on linux-libre-hardened, linux-libre, linux-libre-lts and linux-libre-zen with openrc but it fails with that error:<br /><pre>

<p>This bug is meant to track freedom issues affecting core components in Parabola.</p>
<p>For instance Pacman is a core component in Parabola since almost anything else depend on it.</p>
<p>Libretools is also required for working on Parabola as well as package definitions.</p>
<p>While there are often freedom issues found in regular packages (for instance a game being nonfree) the impact of these is more limited because it only affect a subset of users and doesn't affect packages required to contribute to Parabola (which are needed to fix these issues in the first place). Some packages (like u-boot for instance) can be critical to some users or use cases but don't affect all the users and contributors to Parabola.</p> Packages - Freedom Issue #3608 (open): [libretools, devtools-par] librerelease has nonfree softwa...https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/36082024-03-21T14:46:44ZGNUtooGNUtoo@cyberdimension.org
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>While trying to package libretools in another FSDG distribution, I found that it actually depends on/contains nonfree software.</p>
<p>So far I only looked at librerelease as that's the software I'm most interested in packaging, but this has wider implications as lot more files are nonfree (more on that below).</p>
<p>The issue with librerelease from libretools is that it depends on lib/common.sh which comes from devtools-par. And that file has 'License: Unspecified'.</p>
A lot more files in devtools-par have 'License: Unspecified', here's the total number of files:
<ul>
<li>archbuild.in</li>
<li>archco.in</li>
<li>archrelease.in</li>
<li>archrm.in</li>
<li>bash_completion.in</li>
<li>checkpkg.in</li>
<li>commitpkg.in</li>
<li>crossrepomove.in</li>
<li>find-libdeps.in</li>
<li>finddeps.in</li>
<li>lddd.in</li>
<li>lib/archroot.sh</li>
<li>lib/common.sh</li>
<li>lib/valid-tags.sh</li>
<li>rebuildpkgs.in</li>
<li>zsh_completion.in</li>
</ul>
In addition the following files also lack a license:
<ul>
<li>.gitignore</li>
<li>Makefile</li>
<li>PKGBUILD.proto</li>
<li>makepkg-x86_64.conf</li>
<li>pacman-extra.conf</li>
<li>pacman-gnome-unstable.conf</li>
<li>pacman-kde-unstable.conf</li>
<li>pacman-multilib-staging.conf</li>
<li>pacman-multilib-testing.conf</li>
<li>pacman-multilib.conf</li>
<li>pacman-staging.conf</li>
<li>pacman-testing.conf</li>
<li>zsh_completion.in</li>
</ul>
Only these files have a valid free software license:
<ul>
<li>arch-nspawn.in</li>
<li>makechrootpkg.in</li>
<li>mkarchroot.in</li>

<p>Hi. I found wpa_gui <a class="external" href="https://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/wpa_gui.html">https://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/wpa_gui.html</a> . I think that it would make a nice addition for Parabola.

<p>this is the current list of 'qt5-base' dependents for x86_64 systems - each time 'qt5-base' is upgraded in arch, each of these packages should be rebuilt against the upgraded 'qt5-base', pinned to 'qt5-base=N.N.N'</p>

<p>Due to outstanding freedom issues with Google's Chromium project<sup><a href="#fn1">1</a></sup>, we should remove QTWebengine since it is non-free.</p>
<p>"QtWebEngine integrates chromium's fast moving web capabilities into Qt. Our goal is to bring the latest and best implementation of the web platform into the universe of Qt. It is not just a port of the core HTML/CSS rendering engine, <strong>it is the entire Chromium platform</strong>."[2]</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this well break all programs which have sold their souls to Google - by replacing the libre "QTWebkit" with "QTWebengine" including Qupzilla and konqueror and some other important packages.</p>
<p>Webkit/Webkit2 remain free software without non-free Google code.[3]</p>

<p>It appears to me that the Arch PKGBUILDS are ambiguously licensed. As scripts, they would seem to be copyrightable and licensable material. Many Parabola packages are generated with these Arch PKGBUILDS.</p>
<p>Other Parabola packages are generated by PKGBUILDS that are derived from the Arch ones. For example, see Abiword: <a class="external" href="https://projects.parabola.nu/abslibre.git/tree/libre/abiword/PKGBUILD">https://projects.parabola.nu/abslibre.git/tree/libre/abiword/PKGBUILD</a></p>
<p>The issue is whether or not a PKGBUILD is copyrightable. I currently suspect that they are.</p>
