Test build wpa_supplicant v2.7 - v2.10-devel

<< < (6/7) > >>

Dave Yeo:
Yea, Bitbucket seems a write off now. Did you have any problems doing your account?
I screwed up my original account, enabled 2 factor using my phone to get a number, then the phone died and I hadn't backed up the security code so that account is dead. Seems, according Sourceforge support there is no way to recover.
Trying to create a new account today, needed a different email as they wouldn't let me use my regular Gmail one as my other account uses it.
After finally creating an account, figured I'd start out by transferring cc-os2, got a popup about phone verification needed, didn't correctly display in our old browser. Used the SimpleBrowser to do it, entered my phone number and waited for the SMS pin, never showed up, wouldn't let me do anything while waiting.
Created a repository at Github and imported it. Tried to do a git push to Github, doesn't accept passwords over HTTPS anymore, figured out the one time password thing, still didn't work. Back to Sourceforge which did allow me to import the repository from Github and upload a build of Thunderbird, trying to push my latest commits fails with "fatal: repository https://sourceforge.net/projects/cc-os2/ not found"
Getting to old to fight with this crap, even though Sourceforge probably just needs time to finish enabling pushing.

Andi B.:
I never activated two factor authentication so no problem. Only issue at sourceforge is I have to use git from command line. SmartGit don't work. At least I cant get our ancient version to work. When pushing from cli I've to type the password at command line. Link https://username:password@sourceforge... does not honor the password. Pushing via SSH doesn't work for me too. Some /nonexistant/known.sites (?) error. No clue if it's our ssh or my setup. I've never used ssh before so probably the problem is my missing knowledge.

It took a while until sourceforge showed up my content. Your cc-os2 looks fine.  At least to my not very experienced eyes ;-). I see the 'seamonkey-2.42.9esr_Pentium4_20220111.en-US.os2.zip' build. Is this the stable one with inline nss*? I'm still using your SeaMonkey/2.42.9esr Build-Identifikator: 20190520220003 cause this is the most stable here.

Edit - should have read your comment first before posting.

Btw. sometimes I'm very pissed off from all these pseudo-security nonsense with tons of javascript and redirection to foreign sites. Just renewed my ArcaOS subscription and was pleased to see that you can simply pay with credit card by using your basic card data and click pay. Here in Europe you've all these crappy, expensive 3 way authentication now. Name, number, expiration date, security number, link to other site, even more secure-secure-secure password, and finally a sms tan. Stupidly complex. Payment can be so simple without all these overkill.

"Security", today, is 99% in the user's mind, and 1% effective. All it does is make people feel that various companies are actually trying to protect them. I suspect that Arca Noae will need to change their payment authentication, one of these days, or they will be cut off as being a hazard. Unfortunately, nobody seems interested in actually doing something about the real problem. Those few people, that they do bother to track down, are given a slap on the wrist, and they are back doing their dirty work again a day later. Of course, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), and Apple, (not to mention governments) are allowed to spy on everything that you do, and that software support is used by the bad guys too. Anybody who thinks a public VPN stops any of that, is dreaming in technicolor. Firewalls are a little more effective, but trying to get one right is almost impossible, and many of the sites that need to be blocked are tied to other sites that you don't want to block.

It's all because somebody let Microsoft write software.

Download from the cc-os2 page works. Thanks to both of you Dave and Andi.

Dave, your link to that contains a trailing doublequote char. Otherwise it's the same.

I see that, and now fixed, though it wasn't meant as a link but rather a copy & paste of the error message :)
Found the correct URL to push to by looking at the clone address, then had errors about a expired certificate, which was fixed by updating to the git in netlabs-exp. Pushed the recent changes successfully so everything is fine. Now to cleanup and transfer the Firefox repository.
Should look at and test the wpa_supplicant too.
