Hi list, just a heads up: because we're talking about how to validate appstream metadata: When validating metadata, one of the "default" warnings you get is: > In the past, mailto: URL schemas to link to email addresses were also supported for this URL type. It is recommended to not use them

Hi Marius,, I'd also point out that if you want to inform the security team about something, you should inform directly – and it seems you've done that, by properly labeling that issue (which I can't read at all) as sensitive. As the others pointed out, there's nothing that can be done

I must say that I found appstreamcli to be to unstable in CI of projects that I used to maintain, and file format documentation and validator source code reality diverge, and behaviour is understandably changed between appstreamcli revisions. We had to disable and later re-enable the metainfo

Because it's typically not an option in these kinds of VMs – you'd need to create a swapfile, enable it, before you could launch the first DNF command. Ideally, disable it after, as chances are a certain bookseller is billing you per IOPS. It's completely out of the questions for (e.g.

The latter change seems unwise. Packages which now depend on minizip (to be minizip-ng) will continue to do depend on whatever Provides(minizip); if you rename the zlib subpackage to minizip, they will depend on the wrong thing. Cheers, Marcus On 28.07.22 10:31, Lukas Javorsky wrote: Hi
