Topic: [Hyperbola] Changes in packages and repositories

Hello,

this thread is not intended for discussions. Please open a dedicated new thread for questions about packages you want to know more information about. Please understand that we will no longer debate on our changes here. So if you demand a package:

https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … philosophy

If you ask why package X is not available:

https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … e_packages

If you want to know why we do not offer Rust, PHP or / and Java:

Java -> https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … _downfalls
Rust -> https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … ust_issues
PHP -> https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … _trademark

If you want to know about what kind of software-projects Hyperbola offers:

https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … y_software

If you want to know about Hyperbola's stance on cryptocurrencies:

https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … currencies

If you want to know more about our stance for trademarks:

https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … trademarks

Please understand therefore that we will close immediately threads with repeating questions answered in the articles above without any reaction.
And please also note: You can get always in touch with us via IRC, tox and / or mail. But also understand that we do not take the time for endless debates and explanations: When you demand or ask for packages not fitting into the philosophy of Hyperbola, we remind you perhaps to better look out for a different system more fitting your perspective and needs.

Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!

ANNOTATION: We will stop providing packages with "python2-" as notation for provide, replace and conflicts. So for 0.4.5 all of our packages for Tauthon are exactly only for Tauthon and won't grant any relation towards Python 2. We will also reduce as seen the amount of packages for Python and Tauthon in general: Applications purely based on them are not reliable enough as their dependency-tree is changing that quite often that long-term stable systems only have more work with them. We see them in this perspective as support and enhancements and needed applications same way.

ANNOTATION: We do no longer provide addons and translation-packages for the UXP-applications within the repositories. It does not make any sense as those packages make more work than being useful. Every user can install the translation-packages in their own local in the profile. So we won't keep them in the root-system, which makes the whole administration for users also more flexible in the outcome.

We will remove the package fish out of the reasoning that the project-maintainers have conclude to use Rust for the further development (please look here for more information: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/9512). The package will be no longer part of Hyperbola as fish also provides uncountable references to problematic framework and packages like NodeJS, Java and several others. Creating therefore a patch is that amount of work we have as small team no time for, if anybody has the wish to provide a package feel free. We are not maintaining a package for fish any longer.

ANNOTATION: We have no interest to support patented software-projects and therefore also several codec-packages are going to be removed. Please remember that neither trademarks nor patents are helpful for free, libre software. Ignoring them is not possible and a danger for freedom and privacy.

We do not see any advantage from so-called "open" databases like Musicbrainz. This is an individual decision, not something that the operating-system should offer the user per default. Therefore we remove those interfaces complete and combined then for example chromaprint. Your data is and stays your data, but you also have to take care for it on your own. Not any algorithm!

ANNOTATION: We have no intention and interest to further add more complexity and keep Python and Tauthon based packages the most simple. Therefore we also have no intention to further support python-virtualenv as this is foremost used with python-pip. Hyperbola has never supported / included python-pip and we keep it that way.

We also want to remember that we will and do not provide further Linux-only focussed packages. In some cases we try to keep a concrete package for a later port towards HyperbolaBSD as it has already no problematic dependencies. But projects like lm_sensors for example do not exist within a common POSIX-space and have therefore no longer any place for Hyperbola.

We also remove foremost all "documentation"-packages and make them part of the official packages / ports. Hyperbola is independent and we see no reasoning to provide any Arch GNU/Linux comparable package-structure. We want to remind everyone: If you want a package / software here, provide your port and build it on your own. Do NOT take just some pre-defined package from elsewhere!

We also do not fulfill any packaging-wishes. This was already mentioned multiple times, but seems to be in need for repeating. The reasoning behind this is just that simple: Build it on your own, help others same as you help yourself. Do NOT think others do the work just for you and offer a helping hand.

Re: [Hyperbola] Changes in packages and repositories

Removals from repositories (and git for PKGBUILDs):

pencil2d
trash-cli
trashman
ario

Replacements:

krita-legacy (krita)
libreoffice-legacy (libreoffice)
smplayer-legacy (smplayer)
celestia-legacy (celestia)

Moving in repositories:

cronie (core > extra)

ANNOTATION: We are sorry about the upcoming removal for trash-cli, but this project and resulting package is no longer possible to maintain. Same as tashman also. Both packages depend heavily on Python and as noted before we have neither the time nor the will to review more upcoming dependencies especially for Python-based applications. If this is about bugfixing and stablizing, we see then no issue - when no further dependencies are needed. But adding more and more dependencies just to keep those applications updated and running is not the way we want to go.

qemu-headless-legacy (qemu-headless)
qemu-headless-arch-extra-legacy (qemu-headless-arch-extra)
gerbera-legacy (gerbera)

ANNOTATION: We are replacing qemu out of the reasoning that this project has also concluded to work into rust and therefore modules based on that language. The package starfighter was researched and we found non-free licensed files, so it will be removed. Same for mpc. Furthermore we now finalize the reduction of related packages in the group games as we have no further interest to maintain packages in that amount. If there is interest to keep a port / package, every user is invited to take over the position as maintaining person.

We have no interest to support user-unfriendly protocols and libraries using them alike libcddb. Their whole usecase is just to connect with the global network accessing non-free services and therefore data being not under control of the users. If there is no way to access the data free local same way, there is no reasoning for us providing interfaces and libraries for this.

For the moment in local approval and testing: We do not want further JavaScript included in our packaging and software, not even embeddable. So we tryout best to finally also remove duktape and mark it incompatible. It is just making more problems then being of any help.

Replacements:

rspamd-legacy (rspamd)
qownnotes-legacy (qownnotes)
filezilla-legacy (filezilla)
libfilezilla-legacy (libfilezilla)
stella-legacy (stella)
mednafen-legacy (mednafen)

ANNOTATIONS: We want to reduce the usage of the package webkitgtk towards the absolute minimum (i.e. webbrowsers). We do not see any advantage to include such within a normalized application on fthe system local running. The only current exception is yelp as help-browser using web-technology, so we need to keep this dependency up and running.

We will remove openmotif as the package itself does not comply with the community-aspect of Hyperbola and is only provided as corporate "open-source" project.

We do not have further interest to support packages based on tor as many of them are no longer under maintenance. This would be not a big issue if those applications could be running local without a concrete connection. But as this is not the case here we will remove those packages.

As of now iceweasel-uxp is no longer possible for us to maintain. So we remove it complete and finally.

We remove trisquel-gtk-theme and trisquel-icewm-theme, with adding another theme for IceWM as we do not want depend any longer on other names and projects that much.

FURTHER NOTES: Generic said: If you find our strategy not okay and sufficient, want more updates and a newer base for building, dear user, you have several options.

Option #1 - You can surely write us mails, speak in IRC and demand updates, which will only result in further debates.
Option #2 - You can give us a helping hand - or even more than your own - so we can update and test newer versions of really essential packages.
Option #3 - Or you grant us more financials, so we can clearly also give other developers money to support us.

The option #1 is the most chosen one, but also the worst in helping. You just show that you clearly have only interest that others do the work for you without yourself having further interest to learn more about your system and the essentials. It is your choice for sure, but we do not react on option #1.

Additions:

pekwm (completely reworked)
lincity

ANNOTATIONS: We do not support fuse3 any longer as we see no need to provide two separated packages.

We do not recognize projects from Artifex Software as free and libre software developed from a community. Therefore we will no longer distribute ghostscript, ghostpcl, ghostxps, gsfonts and mupdf. We will also remove every package depending on these without leaving an option to disable.

We do not recognize Qt as complete free and libre framework. Alone qtcreator has severe issues with support for non-free systems and interfaces, not possible to patch or being removed. Therefore we stop providing more support for qt-based packages and stick to what we have now. We also will not support any newer version of qt as we have now, so there will be no Qt6 (or higher) here in Hyperbola.

We have tried to preserve filezilla and libfilezilla but in the retrospective the project is no longer compatible with our principles and values, therefore also not working with our perspective on free, libre software.

We will finally stop providing UXP-applications here at Hyperbola: They are no longer maintained, so not getting any update on behalf of security and more. As very small team we are not capable to maintain projects like icedove-uxp and will therefore remove the application from our repositories upcoming. There are surely good working alternatives like claws-mail we will active further maintain in our repositories.

We do not recognize any longer samba (and its different packages / components) as needed for our operating-system. So all parts of samba are going to be removed without any replacements. The idea of interoperability has been approved as "failed" after around more than two decades and further.

We will remove any other cron-implementation except scron for being most solid and approved working while having a really small codebase oriented on POSIX-compliance. We will keep compatibility with further enhancements of the package scron without changing its code in any way making therefore no further changes in other cron-dependencies needed.The packages cronie and dcron implement non-standardized options so we recognize them being no longer needed within our system.
