Permissions

2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
    --socket=x11
  • dconf: all GNOME settings
    --talk-name=ca.desrt.dconf
  • network
    --share=network
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • Wayland display
    --socket=wayland
  • access to xdg-run/dconf
    --filesystem=xdg-run/dconf
  • access to ~/.config/dconf
    --filesystem=~/.config/dconf:ro
  • sets environment variable DCONF_USER_CONFIG_DIR
    --env=DCONF_USER_CONFIG_DIR=.config/dconf

Who publishes this

Something concrete is wrong: the id claims a namespace this repository does not own, or the build does things a build should not. Flatsonar warns twice.

  • org.gnome.Astexplorer claims the org.gnome namespace but is hosted by github.com/rcoscali and does not build the owner's code
    publisher:namespace
  • git source tracks a moving branch: what gets built can change without the manifest changing
    source:unpinned

Maintenance
