https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D252043 Bug ID: 252043 Summary: net/syncthing - anonymize longVersion reported by syncthing Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: swills@FreeBSD.org Reporter: peterj@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(swills@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: swills@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 220808 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D220808&action= =3Dedit Anonymize syncthing builder. syncthing reports a long version string that, by default, includes details = of the user that built the package and the hostname it was built on. (This ca= n be seen by previewing the "Anonymous Usage Reporting" under General Settings).= =20 Since (eg) "peter@server.rulingia.com" is not very anonymous, it would nice= if the port changed this to a suitably general identifier. Luckily, the code allows the default value to be overridden via environment variables (see buildUser() and buildHost() in syncthing/build.go). Looking through the "Version 3" usage reporting data, there doesn't appear = to be any other data of concern reported. Looking at the "Builder" strings reported via https://data.syncthing.net/, changing the defaults seems fairly common. The attached patch changes the identification string to "ports@freebsd". --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
