I was browsing the app catalog and one of the apps I clicked was RPortd.
It is a Teamviewer/Anyconnect/MitM-connector-like remote connection service. It was not clear to me whether the part that would end up on Yunohost was the man-in-the-middle part or the client portion.
After some digging, I found a link that still had some background info. The docs are quite nice, but there is an off-putting notice hidden on one of the installation-pages:
The Github-account has already been removed, and rport.io forwards to a commercial VNC offering.
If the version packaged for Yunohost is still runnable under a libre license that is nice, but it does not seem to receive any security updates in that case.
Is that a valid worry, or should it stay in the catalog nonetheless?
Edit - I just had a look at the screenshot: it’s just a day closed source, now that is a coincidence! Pity!
For those interested, there is a goodbye page from the mother company available at the archive
I understand building a successful business based on open-source software can be difficult, but deleting the code repository retroactively after close-sourcing is such a shitty move.
