Devs, The Register posted an article about openSUSE removing the Deepin desktop based on dbus abuse and other security and packaging violations. The issues are documented and linked in the article: https://go.reg.cx/tdml/dfd67/684a187f/7019d634/4gJn Has Arch done a similar analysis or have similar concerns? openSUSE have removed it from the distro, but left the package available in the community packager's repoo (similar to AUR setup). Not sure whether that is something to consider here. The concern being that by providing official packages openSUSE gave Deepin the aura of being up to the distros security standards where apparently that isn't something that was warranted. -- David C.
