rurban added a comment to T277: cpanm - downloads potentially nonfree code.

I guess you are not able to read.
Every single native packager for any single scripting language or other package system does allow installation of nonfree packages according to your terms, and would be thus as such banned from PureOS. Many of them already agreed to add a license meta field to their databases. So they are not hostile. You are the one who started the hostility against them.

jonas.smedegaard added a comment to T277: cpanm - downloads potentially nonfree code.

I agree with you that (to the best of my knowledge) cpanm has no way of knowing the licensing of a CPAN module, and therefore cannot be instructed (by default or patched specifically for PureOS) to consider only modules that fits the licensing regime imposed on PureOS. This is the reason I see no other solution than to avoid cpanm in PureOS.

rurban added a comment to T277: cpanm - downloads potentially nonfree code.

"A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so. The system should have no repositories for nonfree software and no specific recipes for installation of particular nonfree programs. Nor should the distribution refer to third-party repositories that are not committed to only including free software; even if they only have free software today, that may not be true tomorrow. Programs in the system should not suggest installing nonfree plugins, documentation, and so on"

I have not found any other application with this same issue in PureOS, which is why I created a bug report for the Atom text editor specifically. I thought it appropriate to put the bug here, because it only happens in PureOS (not in Debian Stretch, Debian Testing, Linux Mint, or Trisquel 7/8), so I think it must be specific to something unique to PureOS.

The Atom Text Editor is not part of PureOS (nor Debian) so it would be most helpful if you could try locate some other tool that is supported by PureOS which has same distortions, so that we can replicate within the constraints of the system.

Hi @james.rufer
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this. I have successfully imported both of my keys (as well as singly) using the Enigmail setup wizard into PureOS's Thunderbird but cannot see this freeze, alas.
(Can you clarify exactly what import/export mechanism you are using? Enigmail offers a couple with very similar names.)

mak added a comment to T272: PureOS tolerates advertisements in Mozilla applications by default.

@jonas.smedegaard I would actually prefer that PureBrowser recommends the extensions we want to ship with it - it would make logical sense for the browser package to pull in the extensions we recommend, instead of the system's seed depending on those directly.
By having PureBrowser just recommend the package, users can still easily uninstall it later.
