Comment 3 Ralf Corsepius 2024-12-25 10:08:55 UTC
I am not sure, this package can any longer be shipped in Fedora, because I suspect gpsbabel to have begun violating Fedora data privacy rules and EU data privacy laws (GDPR).

The reason for me saying so, is gpsbabel now is assigning a UUID to each user, hence making users trackable and using this UUID in web-calls, transmitting installation details. So far, it's not entirely clear to me what gpsbabel actually does, I still have to investigate a bit more.

Comment 4 tsteven4 2025-02-12 16:18:31 UTC
There weren't any changes to gpsbabel 1.10.0 relating to "using this UUID in web-calls, transmitting installation details".

In the past this functionality has mostly been eliminated by your patch 0002-No-solicitation.patch.  I say mostly because while your patch disables automatic upgrade checks(startupVersionCheck=false) the upgrade menu item is still enabled.  While your patch disables usage statistics(reportStatictics=false) other information could be transmitted if the menu item is manually selected (os, architecture, run count ...)

You could disable the upgrade menu item by adding this to 0002-No-solicitation.patch:
$ git diff mainwindow.cc
diff --git a/gui/mainwindow.cc b/gui/mainwindow.cc
index e0c9ac43..1dfc096e 100644
--- a/gui/mainwindow.cc

Ralf,
Can you please look at https://github.com/GPSBabel/gpsbabel/pull/1413 and let us know if you have any remaining concerns?
This adds a cmake option to completely remove the upgrade check and statistics reporting.  Currently it applies cleanly on 1.10.0.  If you adopt this PR code as a patch you can retire your 0002-No-solicitation.patch.
