As I mentioned in #965386, this is easy to add to the package:
sudo cp -a extension/ /usr/share/webext/plasma
sudo ln -s /usr/share/webext/plasma
/usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/$(jq -r
.applications.gecko.id < extension/manifest.json)
sudo ln -s /usr/share/webext/plasma /usr/share/chromium/extensions/plasma
I think this RFP should be closed in favour of #965386, which would
simply included the needed files in plasma-browser-integration itself.

Since Loki is a relatively generic name used for many different things,
personally I think no one package should use the unqualified name. For
example the Loki C++ library distinguishes itself as loki-lib. The name
loki-database seems a good choice for the software you are packaging.

Bug#999677: RFP: popcon-stats-data -- Debian's Popularity Contest statistics

I would assume with the same frequency as the existing data on the popcon.d.o website is refreshed. Anything faster than that would just be refreshing unchanged data. Anything slower than that would be providing outdated data. Outdated data is fine though, so maybe weekly. > Which exact set of data are going to be used ? Initially I thought similar to the QA per-package popcon data: https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=iotop Package: iotop Popcon: 30314 7962 21197 1143 12 If I massage the by_inst file into the same format as this, I calculate that the extra Popcon fields would add 3.7 MB to the Packages files and that data would change often, making the apt updating process slower. So probably the data should go into new files instead and there should be a config file snippet to enable downloading them, a tool to query and index them and a way for apt clients to get that data. Since the Debian repository splits the metadata by suite and component, these new statistics should probably do the same. So the raw popcon submissions would need to be individually mapped to a suite based on the popcon version in the submission, and then each item in the submission attributed to that suite/component. For popcon versions that don't match a suite, if they match a known Debian version, attribute them to the next highest suite and discard submissions with popcon versions that were never in Debian, or maybe attribute them to the relevant vendor separately. popcon submissions that don't have Debian as the vendor probably should be discarded, or maybe attribute them to the relevant vendor separately. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

This package would be very Debian specific and would give the wrong data when installed in Ubuntu, I think a better approach would be to ship this data in the Debian apt repository metadata, either in the Packages files or in Popularity files in the dists/ dir (similar to the Contents files used by apt-file) so that the data is directly available to apt clients like aptitude/etc. This way Ubuntu and other derivatives could also ship popularity data for their users too. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Please make sure the package is built solely from the source from scratch without any existing binaries using the upstream supported bootstrap process: https://github.com/ziglang/zig-bootstrap/ Personally, I think merging zig-bootstrap into the zig source repo would make it easier for distros to use, but I hear upstream isn't interested in that. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

The first thing to note is that the upstream repository contains pre-built binary fonts, along with the build scripts and source files. Normally pre-built files should not be in git repositories, so you might want to ask upstream to rewrite the repository to remove them, which would make the repository smaller, and then attach the pre-built fonts to the corresponding GitHub releases. If they refuse to either rewrite the repo to remove them or even refuse to delete them in the latest commit, then you should remove them using uscan's Files-Excluded feature: https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Repacking https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements#Deleting_Files_using_Files-Excluded_field_in_debian.2Fcopyright It looks like all the tools used by the upstream build scripts (see scripts/README.md) are available in Debian. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

They appear to be fine with redistribution, just not with wide distribution by a popular Linux distribution, which has a stable release that is guaranteed to get out of date with documentation. Possibly they could be convinced by having the package only available in Debian unstable or experimental and guaranteeing to keep it up to date with the latest available upstream version. On the other hand they probably also don't want to deal with bug reports about a build that they did not produce.

There is already the shell-quote too from libstring-shellquote-perl in Debian if you want something to run from an interactive shell. Also xargs doesn't discard blank lines if you don't use the unsafe variants of it. xargs without the -d or -0 options is unsafe. $ (echo ; echo ; echo ) | xargs -n1 echo foo foo $ (echo ; echo ; echo ) | xargs -d '\n' -n1 echo foo foo foo foo $ printf '\0\0\0' | xargs -0 -n1 echo foo foo foo foo -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise https://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/

The issue is that many devices require the firmware binaries to have an Intel signature on them, so even though we have freely licensed source code, we do not have the four freedoms since we cannot upload our own firmware binaries onto the audio devices. So the best option here is for Intel to do the building and signing and get them included in linux-firmware and then Debian pull the latest version of that.

Thanks for providing the details of what is happening. > Instead of passing through `sh`, just use `exec.Command` on the > string directly? I was suggesting that you replace the string with an array of strings that contains the command being run and the arguments to the command, then pass that to `exec.Command`, bypassing `sh` entirely. > Assuming I've understood correctly, would you recommend including > this change as a patch in the package for now? Or should I try to get > upstream to incorporate the patch first? I think it would be best to include potential patches upstream. After reviewing the code to see why it needs `sh` I see that it loads the notifycommand parameter from ~/.barnard.yaml, replaces template parameters with their escaped values and then runs the result in sh. On reflection I think my suggestion isn't yet worth the time since: Switching this to not use shell is going to be potentially problematic for compatibility with existing config files. The YAML format for lists is quite a bit more verbose than just a string since it places each argument on one line. You could mitigate that by continuing to use a string but splitting it on spaces, but then that introduces further issues with how to add spaces to arguments. There is also the issue of how to escape the % template character. The systemd ini files have similar issues, so maybe their approach to splitting and escaping could be adopted but the approach is complex and is likely to be confusing to barnard users. https://manpages.debian.org/buster/systemd/systemd.service.5.en.html#COMMAND_LINES Right now there is no security issue with executing commands in barnard because there is no security boundary crossed at this time. If barnard ever adds support for loading config files from the current directory, then executing commands in barnard would become a security problem since someone could check out a potentially untrusted git repository, not check for a barnard config file and then run barnard, leading to barnard executing arbitrary commands provided by the git repo. To make the config file loading safe it could ignore the notify_command setting in anything other than the user's home dir or in dirs that the config in the user's home dir indicates are safe. The same issues apply whether or not shell is used though. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I also doubt that would be the case, since Fontlab is proprietary and
thus isn't possible to make available in Debian main.
