I think I can answer this one.
Our repository is synced with Debian testing's repo. Debian is currently in a frozen state until the release of Debian 9 which should happen very soon.
After that, things will be back to normal with the rolling release until the next Debian frozen state (every 5 years?)

Fixed.

I'll work on this one.

This is all so exciting!

For the custom kernel - yes, I have for some time that in mind basically called on my TODO list as "PureOS kernel optimization" - the thing is that I wanted to have grsec enabled kernel by default before digging into that (as vanilla grsec is not meant for proper desktop usage) but now we faced the dawn of grsec so I am not sure yet how we will approach all that. If you have the skillset, I would gladly chat about it (I refurbished 6 Librem15v2 (prototypes and returns) which would end up maybe missing one components (such as disk or battery) but they are enough for development for future contributors to PureOS).

And I absolutely love that PureOS is developed with the Librem hardware in mind primarily. The Librems are without a doubt the standard of freedom and quality. This makes them highly-secure, but is still low-assurance, undeniably.

I feel you. For now, I will experiment with virtualizing PureOS with both sel4 and nova and see if interesting things develop nicely, and relay my results. Since all of the hardware is freed, device drivers will not be a problem for Genode to run perfectly on the Librem device (I wish I had the beefy cash to buy one :/).

Description: Pureos web browser
Purebrowser is a powerful, extensible web browser with support for modern

web application technologies.

While this could be something to think about, at this moment it is way off the charts. It is undeveloped/untested proposal which would require quite a bit effort to achieve and we are currently overwhelmed with work. Besides manpower/manhours we would need to check against all freedom components (is all free and possible and if not what would require to create free alternative) and how much would impact performance and user experience of the device and OS. PureOS welcomes contributions and proof-of-concept demos if someone does (if you have the skills, feel free to join the community).

We have tools to find out why stuff is in the default install :-)
Admittedly, I haven't made any nice web UI for this yet:
http://master.pureos.net/raw/germinate/pureos.green/desktop-common

Over the years I've had all the creative apps (Inkscape, GIMP, Krita, Scribus, Blender, MyPaint, Calligra, etc.) installed and I never saw ImageMagick installed, I didn't even know a GUI existed for it ;) so given that PureOS3 beta doesn't have any creative apps preinstalled, I don't see where this thing appeared from.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Yeah, I have similar comments for smtube issue. As this is also indeed Free software and sadly it is not usable without nonfree nvidia, we will postpone the work on it because of obvious dependency havoc it would cause. It also doesn't break FSF rules afaik.

Also, I don't get why the thing is actually a "freedom issue" if it's actually free software (sure, it only becomes really useful if one uses non-free drivers, but we don't ship those. Removing this thing will cause some pain though, mainly through psensor and qtwebengine)

woah, so it needs more work on it...

Broken Depends:

conky: conky-all

only removing the file will fail build, fortunate enough you showed us the parabola patch as well (I usually like to create or re-create my own patch but I will go with importing this one and see what happens) :)

I'll patch this one today.

it is most probably a dependency on something (do we have inkscape in defaults?).

Confirming that with the beta, applying updates in gnome software caused no problem.

Actually it Depends on it but it should work fine with free version. I'll patch this one as well today.

I think we could patch this one (comment or remove parts of source code to remove such pop-outs).

I should probably ping Manoj about this one as https://github.com/angband/angband/blob/master/copying.txt is telling a bit different story

note that @mak is already patching this so it can have better usage on PureOS.

can you check more about this source - there are quite a bit of apple README and code files there, maybe we can remove them all?

Fixed.

@zlatan.todoric Well having a command line to give to people is the workaround until we have the real solution: exposing locale packages in GNOME Software and/or allowing gnome-control-center to install them as needed. Low priority given that we have a workaround, but this is is something that would be expected nonetheless to give a good user experience.

Fixed and uploaded to landing.

Fixed.

Note: I got it working on the Librem 15. I removed the /etc/modules.d/purism-psmouse.conf and did modprobe -r psmouse && modprobe psmouse, that fixed the multitouch. Note though that on reboot, I had to do the modprobe again because it was loaded with the wrong options by default even if the /etc/modprobe file wasn't there.

Sure.

funny thing here is that it has no nonfree fonts at all (it uses Liberation fonts that replace nonfree MS fonts). We will see to do the same maybe as parabola but I think this should be reported to upstream as it is just naming thing, no real nonfree code anywhere. @mladen.pejakovic care to forward this to upstream?

I'll patch this one today.

closing, it is all free, we can't stop people of downloading rar archives and trying mc commander on it.

nope, it doesn't. Closing.

You need to click on a rar archive. But linguistically speaking, it doesn't »suggest« to install rar, it simply states that rar is not found.

I'll patch this one today.

how, when, where - I installed it and run it and nothing popped on me.

@mladen.pejakovic apt show only shows unrar in suggests. Is this in app recommendation, if so, screenshot please :)

I'll patch this one today.

It says this:
