Updated upstream bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/issues/136, opened 20 OCT 2020
Looks like the Mozilla MLS maintainer has proposed to deprecate the default key in order to force downstreams to get their own keys: >From the linked bug: "My proposal is to deprecate the default key in Geoclue and give downstream users a good window (1 year?) in which to apply for their own MLS keys. Any Gnome or OSS apps that currently rely on Geoclue would effectively be rubber-stamped when they applied for their own MLS keys. At the end of the deprecation window, Mozilla would throttle the old key at a suitable threshold (probably 1M requests/day) so that old/unmaintained apps in the wild wouldn't be completely unsupported." ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/issues #136 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/issues/136 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1826290 Title: geoclue mozilla location api key rate limited To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geoclue-2.0/+bug/1826290/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
