** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + Application makes a call out to https://api.github.com/ by default, + which at a minimum leaks to a third party that the user is using this + program. If a new version is available, user may attempt to install it + via a route other than apt. Versions from apt should manage their own + updates. + + [ Test Plan ] + + For each affected $series: + + * sudo apt install rclone-browser + * rclone-browser + * Select File / Preferences + * Observe check boxes under "updates notification" are both checked + + * Exit application + * sudo apt install $series-proposed rclone-browser + * rclone-browser + * Select File / Preferences + * Observe check boxes under "updates notification" are both unchecked and disabled + + * Close the preferences dialog + * Click "Config..." at the bottom of the main window + * Type "n" for new remote + * Given the new remote a name, e.g. "foo" + * Enter "local" for the storage + * Enter "n" to skip editing the advanced config + * Enter "y" to keep the remote + * Enter "q" to quit configuration + * Click "Refresh" at the bottom of the main window + * Select the new "foo" remote + * Click "Open" at the bottom of the main window + * Navigate to your home folder (this remote just accesses the local file-system) + * Select some trivial file (e.g. .bashrc) + * Right click and select "Download" + * Provide a destination folder, e.g. "/home/$USER/Downloads" + * Select "Run" at the bottom of the dialog + * Verify the transfer completed successfully + + [ Where Things Could Go Wrong ] + + The patch may affect more than intended. To guard against this, the test + case includes a basic functionality check covering configuration and a + trivial transfer. + + [ Original Description ] + There is no need for the packaged version to check upstream for a newer release. The package is managed by the Ubuntu release team.
