Description James Rowe 2011-07-12 10:41:32 UTC
surfraw 2.2.8 has been released!

New features include:

    * Stack of new elvis, include `bugzilla` that can be used on the Gentoo 
      installation
    * Many fixes to existing elvis
    * Support for opensearch without all the perl modules

  There is one possible problem, and I'm not sure how it should be dealt with.
The opensearch support works by hitting http://erislabs.net/ianb/webtools/opensearch
and letting it build the search query.  Obviously this lets Ian(surfraw's 
awesome maintainer) access the searches that a user submits, and I wonder if 
there should at least be a note in the pkg_postinst¹ about the possibly 
unexpected information leakage?

I'll note that Opera does a similar thing with many of its default searches,
and there is no user note for that behaviour in the ebuild.

Thanks,

James

¹ Yes, in the already stupidly huge pkg_postinst notes.


Reproducible: Always
