Despite this he did two stable release (1.4.2 and 1.4.4) in July 2021 a bunch of beta releases in 2020, February and July 2021: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/releases https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/empty-title/ogfcmafjalglgifnmanfmnieipoejdcf?ucbcb=1 https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/umatrix/ (And then archived the Github repo again as it seems. *sigh*) So for me it looks like the author still cares about security issues, but has no time for other support. Which IMHO would be OK for a Debian Stable release. > These are the options for solving this issue: > > uMatrix could be removed in favour of uBlock Origin's advanced mode. IMHO this is no real solution. It works completely different and is at least (from an UI/UX aspect) unusable for me. IMHO no alternative. > uMatrix could be removed and LibreMatrix packaged, I think this is a > community fork so it should be a drop-in replacement. > > https://www.librematrix.com/ Seems to have been rather short-lived and is dead and removed already: This site can’t be reached www.librematrix.com’s server IP address could not be found. […] ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED > https://github.com/LibreMatrix/LibreMatrix This as well: 404 This is not the web page you are looking for. The same counts for the according account: https://github.com/LibreMatrix So IMHO continuing with the original source seems (again) the best solution to me. I'd also help packaging 1.4.4 (at least), but the packaging is quite non-standard while no debian/README.source is present. And amo-changelog throws Python errors, probably needs an update wrt. python3-urllib: ~/uMatrix/umatrix → make -f debian/rules get-orig-changelog amo-changelog -p rst umatrix failed to write debian/upstream/changelog.html: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'error' make: *** [debian/rules:11: get-orig-changelog] Error 1 Also it is unclear to me why the source is the Mozilla XPI while the package works with both and upstream offers different download files for Firefox and for Chromium/Chrome. (Then again, I haven't worked on browser extensions since Mozilla ditched XUL…) Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, https://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 `- | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE
