Agenda

  • Core Updates

    • Core Update 188 - Feedback

      • The links for the core programs on the Services page were removed.
        Should we also remove the links for the Add-on services or replace the links for the core programs?
      • The red and orange colour coding on the DHCP server WUI page was lost.
        I will look at creating a patch adding this back in.

    • Core Update 189 Testing - Feedback

      • Backport of wlanap.cgi changes from Core Update 190?

    • Core Update 190 - Planning & Discussion

      • How to deal with dhcpcd.conf when dhcpcd updates occur.
        dhcpcd.conf is backed up by IPFire but gets overwritten if dhcpcd package is updated.

  • CUPS status in IPFire with regard to CVE-2024-47176, CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175 and CVE-2024-47177

  • Some addons, such as Guardian and WIO, are embedded in the core parts of the menu system. Others are added to the WUI IPFire menu entry under the pakfire line.
    Should we have a single approach to this and if yes which approach should be used?

  • Let us drop mpfire, it does not seem to work

  • IPFire has bridge-utils but this package is deprecated and iproute2 bridge command is recommended.
    Should bridge-utils be removed and replaced by iproute2

  • lcdproc - last update was 7 years ago and last commit (which our released addon is based on) was 2.5 years ago.
    Should this stay in IPFire?

Core Update 191 & Beyond

  • Restructure the menu: Remote the IPFire header, distribute add-ons throughout the other menus; Rename Pakfire to Package Management
  • CUPS: This package will be removed; Adolf Belka will try to identify as many packages that might only be used for CUPS, like Ghostscript, qpdf, poppler, libtiff?
