LN Webworks: How to Fix Drupal Issues with Git Patches Using 'git apply patch' Command

Have you ever faced any problems on your Drupal websites coming from Drupal core, its contributed modules and themes or do you want to enhance their functionality as per your requirement which can’t be possible through your custom modules? As you know we can’t apply code directly there, then what could be the solution for this?  Well, patching those codes might just be the solution you’re looking for.

In this blog, we’ll talk about the process of creating and applying patches using git diff and git apply commands and we will also apply patches through composer install command. By applying patches you can achieve all your requirements before this you must have good coding skills to understand Drupal code.

IceWM 3.5.0 released

by
IceWM, the venerable window manager we’ve all used at some point in our lives, has released a new version, 3.5.0. It’s a relatively minor release, so you’ve got things like a new install option which will install an extra theme, a fix for porting to NetBSD 10, translation updates, and more such small improvements. The AddressBar, a command line in the taskbar that can be summoned with ctrl+alt+space, also got some love, with file argument completion and support for the cd and pwd commands. You can compile IceWM yourself, of course, but it’ll most likely find its way into your distribution’s repository quickly enough.

clang -fret-clean: cleaning return addresses off stack (by deraadt@)

by
Future versions of OpenBSD may include core system libraries and binaries built with logic to remove return addresses off the stack. With this in place, whole classes of bugs would be harder to exploit.

In a message to the tech@ mailing list titled clang -fret-clean: cleaning return addresses off stack, Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) explains how this would work and includes code to implement the feature for the X86 architecture only: 

List:       openbsd-tech
Subject:    clang -fret-clean: cleaning return addresses off stack
From:       "Theo de Raadt" <deraadt () openbsd ! org>

There are many address space mitigations in play now which make standard
control-flow methods and ROP-style methods more difficult than ever before.
None of them are a silver bullet; added up they are a big deal, but noone
is saying they are a comprehensive solution,

One thing I've worried about for a while is that program bugs being
exercised tend to happen in the main program, or in some large library.
But many types of attack methodology require reaching system calls via
libc, in as direct and simple fashion as possible.  ASLR location of
libc has made that a bit harder, boot-time random relinking of libc
makes it even more difficult.  But there's a few things which do hint at
where libc is mapped.

F-Droid core

F-Droid and F-Droid Basic version 1.20 have been live for the last 10 days. While we appreciate the praise for the new repository management improvements, we like to have more and more users willing to test the edge cases. So if you did not update already feel free to expand Version and update manually or in the top right corner touch the three dot menu and select “Allow Beta Updates”.

Community News

@linsui remotely reads some bookmarks:

aFreeRDP was updated to 3.5.1 after a 9 months hiatus, a smaller package, more features and optimisations are included.

Last week we announced the downgrade of wallabag, and this week Frigoligo, the new client for wallabag servers, is live, so you can try it!

LibreOffice & OpenOffice document reader & ODF was updated to 3.26 after more than 2 years. While F-Droid has its share of text editors, there’s no true “Office Suite” built from source yet. Viewing files is fast, but as with LibreOffice Viewer editing is experimental, enough to correct a typo at best, maybe print them.

Principia, Physics-based sandbox building game, was added too, and the developers wrote a blog post to announce it.

Back in April we talked about Tailscale fixed updates, in the meantime Tailscale was updated to 1.66.3-teae73f821-g63a2bbc8e71 but now it’s a new app rebuilt from the ground up. You can read more about the improvements in the developer blog and you can peruse the changelog.

@Licaon_Kter un-mutes a call:

Conversations and Quicksy were updated to 2.16.0+free and besides the usual message bubbles roundness tweaks it reworked backups, adding a long desired recurring option. Unfortunately after release, two issues came to light, first, the new backup flow might get killed by the Android system if the account has many messages (eg. millions) and, given the device speed, takes more than 10 minutes, resulting in a backup loop. And second, muted calls get un-muted when switching between apps. Both issues are fixed and will come with 2.16.2 in the next cycle.

ente Photos was updated to 0.8.95 finally bringing hosted server support in-app, so you can now touch the opening screen 7 times and enter your own self-hosted server URL. Its sister app auth was already capable since March. Note that, F-Droid still flags the app as NonFreeNet as the app downloads assets (like ML models, release info and FAQs) from Ente’s CDN.

Green: Bitcoin Wallet was also updated to 4.0.28 after a 6 months pause while the devs fixed building issues. Note that some devices might fail to start this new version, upstream is aware and a fix is in testing.
