Who publishes this

Nobody has confirmed that the publisher controls this app id. Flatsonar warns before installing.

  • gr.oscillate.gytparse claims the domain oscillate.gr; only its owner can prove that
    publisher:namespace
  • git source tracks a moving branch: what gets built can change without the manifest changing (x6)
    source:unpinned
  • fetches from www.tortall.net over unencrypted http: anyone on the path can swap the bytes (x2)
    source:insecure-url
  • the build has network access: it can download things the manifest does not list
    gtk:build-options:--share=network
  • the build has network access: it can download things the manifest does not list
    gytparse:build-options:--share=network
  • fetches from the network during the build (nothing to audit beforehand): pip3 install --prefix=${FLATPAK_DEST} requests yt-dlp dbus-python
    gytparse:build-commands
