Bug #2887
[gammastep] gammastep requires geoclue2, feature can be disabled
0%
Description
gammastep currently in the community repos: https://www.parabola.nu/packages/community/x86_64/gammastep/
it lets users "adjust the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings", similar to redshift (which afaik it is a fork of), but it has Wayland support unlike Redshift.
since it requires `geoclue2`, it conflicts with `your-privacy`.
geoclue2 is completely optional so I made small changes to the Arch PKGBUILD to remove it and everything works great.
the PKGBUILD is attached. is it possible/likely to have this added to the libre repositories?
thanks

adding it to [libre] would entail adding it to the blacklist,
and would prevent anyone from using the original - goe-location
is not a freedom concern, but a privacy concern; so it would go
in [nonprism]

A better option would be to move the neutered geoclue2 from nonprism-testing into nonprism and then delete all the nonprism packages that are there solely to remove geoclue2.
This would greatly reduce the maintanance load and catch ant packages that feel the need to add geoclue2 in the future. The changes to neuter geuclue2 were minor config and compile changes (no code patches) and thus it's a pretty quick and simple package to maintain.

Yeah I don't actually see it here: https://www.parabola.nu/packages/?q=geoclue2
Where can I find the PKGBUILD?
