** Description changed: + [Impact] + + The plugin Help buttons and Do's About link go to do.davebsd.com, which + has been acquired by a spam provider. + + This upload changes the About link to go to do.cooperteam.net (the + current homepage), and points the plugin Help buttons at Launchpad. + + [Test Case] + + Start gnome-do; type ‘about do’ and hit <enter> to summon the About + page. Click on the Homepage link, and verify that it goes to + do.cooperteam.net. + + Summon gnome-do, type ‘preferences’ and hit <enter> to summon the + preferences page. Go to the “Plugins” tab and select any plugin. Hit the + “About” button, if enabled. This should not take you to do.davebsd.com + (but might do nothing). + + [Regression Potential] + + This code is only used in the About page and plugin About links, so + that's what should be checked. Regressions are unlikely, the most likely + regression would be crashes when pressing the buttons. + + [Original report] + When clicking on 'help' in the gnome-do preferences, the link opened is "do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Using_Do", it redirects several times, opening various spammy sites (gambling, shopping, etc). The real problem isn't gnome-do per se, but rather that do.davebsd.com seems to have been co-opted.
