[Bug-gnuzilla] launchpad scripts errors
Using G.Icecat 17.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 Only when GNUzilla privacy extension (v1.1) is enabled, the scripts in bugs.launchpad.net doesn't work well. For example, when the user clicks this link: This bug affects 30 people. Does this bug affect you? - Yes Appear a lot of error/html code. Same when adding a comment. Disabling the extension, launchpad.net scripts work well. -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] [Bug] Icecat about dialog with french traduction
I can work on this. As I understand, the job of the script is: 1. Download 2. Uncompress 3. Change some strings in some files (?) 4. Compress And the strings to change are: Mozilla Firefox - GNU IceCat Firefox - IceCat http://www.mozilla.org/ - http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/ Al 13/01/13 18:33, En/na Loic J. Duros ha escrit: Hi all: There's a documented trail of errors with the language packs and the conversion script. We're looking for someone to work on the bash script that converts them and fix it. The latest version of the script can be found in the main bzr repo: http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/gnuzilla/icecat-latest/annotate/head:/icecat-tools/download.sh IIRC, currently the script just breaks some xml markup in the files, and it creates many errors. I have no time to look into this because my focus is on privacy and freedom enhancements (and they also need more volunteers.) That's why if someone would volunteer to fix it and take care of this issue going forward, it would be very helpful for the project. Anyone with bash scripting skills and good sed/awk knowledge or the will to learn these tools should be able to do this. As Luke mentioned, the Iceweasel-libre language packs may be your best bet at the moment. It may be useful to look how these langpacks are generated also (are the langpacks taken from Debian originally?) Thanks!

AFAIK, we still want to provide alternatives to DuckDuckGo, and give
users the choice. DuckDuckGo HTML-only is the default, and non-free JS
is blocked from such sites as Google and Yahoo. Do you have other
alternatives you'd like to see there or replace the Google and Yahoo
choices?
In Parabola, the provided (general purpose) search engines are DDG
HTML, DDG Lite, Seeks[1], and YaCy/bluebox[2].

Subject: Recommends DuckDuckGo, which uses non-free javascript.
DuckDuckGo in the search box and in the about:home page go directly to
the html version of DuckDuckGo, the form is given the html-only url:
https://duckduckgo.com/html/
There is no javascript in the html-only pages.
Where do you see DDG being included without the /html/ url? Maybe
there's a location where it isn't applied.
I'm sorry, I believe I was mistaken. You see, Parabola uses
DuckDuckGo HTML for the shortName, instead of DuckDuckGo to refer
to DDG HTML (consistent with DDG's official opensearch.xml files). I
had assumed that since IceCat was using just DuckDuckGo for the
shortName, it was using the ajax version of DDG.
Subject: If social API stuff is enabled, Facebook is there by default
Even when enabling the Social API, I can't see Facebook enabled by
default. I talked with a few Firefox developers a while ago on this
issue. It appears you have to go to a page (from Facebook) and click
install, after what you see the sidebar and you can like a URL, etc,
... What do you mean by Facebook there by default?
For the Social API code itself, it is released under a free license, and
so isn't a freedom issue per se. The services it may interact with, on
the other hand, may not be free. We probably need to warn users about
this. All in all, I think the Social API is less of a privacy concern
than the like buttons you may find on websites, because if you `like`
a URL with the API, only the URL value is being communicated; but I'll
have to check again. Of course, we should at least warn or discourage
people from using Facebook for the reasons given here:
https://www.fsf.org/facebook
More to come about this... But let's keep in mind it is already disabled
by default.
I have not evaluated that issue myself, I was looking at libre.patch,
which is (should be) used to correct freedom-related issues. The
