Hi all, I'm posting from gmane, I hope this is OK.
The Calibre Ebook manager (calibre package) has code to contact the calibre servers (https://code.calibre-ebook.com/latest) to check for version updates. I think that this is 1. redundant since calibre is installed from Parabola 2. a privacy issue since the app pokes an external server in a somewhat opaque way Although the option to check for updates can be turned off (Ctrl-P -> Behavior -> "Show notification when new package available"), it's on by default an most users may not know about it. I have a couple of patches that remove the option from the Calibre UI and the Python code that contacts the servers (in src/calibre/gui2/) that I am using to build a modified calibre package off the Parabola one. Are you interested in reviewing and possibly integrating them? Thank you for the hard work you're doing with Parabola! Best, -- S. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
