Bump the release number from 1 to 2, so that we can build a
dangerzone-qubes 0.6.0-2 package for Fedora 38 that existing 0.6.0 users
can update to.
Refs #737
Provide a fix for an OCR bug that affected Fedora 38 templates of Qubes
OS. In that specific configuration, the PyMuPDF version accepts the
Tesseract data directory only from the `TESSDATA_PREFIX` environment
variable. Our mistake was that we were setting this environment variable
in a dev script, instead of setting it for all configurations.
In this commit, we set an attribute in the fitz.fitz module, so that
both dev scripts and end-user installations can work. This is hacky, but
it targets an old PyMuPDF release after all, so we don't expect things
to break in the long run.
Fixes#737
Accept `.svg` and `.bmp` files when browsing via the Dangerzone GUI.
Support for these extensions has already been added in the converter
code that runs in the sandbox (cd99122385)
but they were erroneously left out from the filter in the Dangerzone
main window.
Do not throw exceptions for unknown error codes. If
`get_proc_exception()` gets called from within an exception context and
raises an exception itself, then this exception will not get caught, and
it will get lost.
Prefer instead to return an exception class that we have for this
purpose, and show to the user the unknown error code of the converesion
process.
Inform testers that the container code no longer returns "UNTRUSTED >"
strings in its output. Every string is trusted now, and the output will
be similar for container and Qubes isolation providers alike.
When we get an early EOF from the converter process, we should
immediately get the exit code of that process, to find out the actual
underlying error. Currently, the exception we raise masks the underlying
error.
Raise a ConverterProcException, that in turns makes our error handling
code read the exit code of the spawned process, and converts it to a
helpful error message.
Fixes#714
50% would show twice in the conversion progress due to an overlap in
conversion progress values. The doc_to_pixels would be from 0-50% and
the pixels_to_pdf from 50%-100%.
This commit makes the first part go from 0 to 49% instead.
Fixes#715
On Windows platforms, we can't consume the stdin using select(), because
it's not available for pipes [1]. We can instead consume it using some
native Windows calls.
[1]: From https://docs.python.org/3/library/select.html#select.select:
"File objects on Windows are not acceptable, but sockets are. On
Windows, the underlying select() function is provided by the
WinSock library, and does not handle file descriptors that don’t
originate from WinSock."
Update the build instructions for Ubuntu Jammy regarding conmon, now
that oldstable-proposed-updates no longer offers a patched conmon
package. Propose instead to install conmon from our apt-tools-prod repo.
Instead of installing a patched conmon version from the
oldstable-proposed-updates repo, install it from our apt-tools-prod
repo. This applies to just Ubuntu Jammy, since the rest of the platforms
don't have this problem.
Now that the conmon package with version 2.0.25+ds1-1.1+deb11u1 has been
released [1] for Debian Bullseye, there is no need to install it from
the oldstable-proposed-updates repo any more.

PyMuPDF 1.23.9 swapped the new fitz implementation (fitz_new)
with the fitz module. In the new module there are prints in the code
that interfere with our stdout for sending JSON from the container.
Pinning the version seems to have no adverse consequences [1], since
fitz_old hasn't had significant changes and it gives breathing room for
the print-related issue to be tackled in PR [2].

The container image does not need the TESSDATA_PREFIX env variable since
its PyMuPDF version is new enough to support `tessdata` as an argument
when calling the PyMuPDF tesseract method.
Switching from mounting files to writing to stdout has introduced some
Podman crashes in specific environments (Ubuntu Jammy / Debian Bullseye)
due to a conmon bug that affects version 2.0.25.
Fixing it for various permutations of the environments we support
requires the following:
1. CI tests: Install conmon from the oldstable-proposed-updates in
our Debian Bullseye / Ubuntu Jammy dev/end-user environments.
2. Developers: Add a line in BUILD.md that suggests users to install
conmon from the oldstable-proposed-updates repo, or some other repo
they prefer.
3. End-user installations: We will build conmon for Ubuntu Jammy, and
wait until the proposed updates repo gets merged in Debian Bullseye.
Fixes#685
Since the progress information is now inferred on host based on the
number of pages obtained, progress-tracking variables should be removed
from the server.
Remove timeouts due to several reasons:
1. Lost purpose: after implementing the containers page streaming the
only subprocess we have left is LibreOffice. So don't have such a
big risk of commands hanging (the original reason for timeouts).
2. Little benefit: predicting execution time is generically unsolvable
computer science problem. Ultimately we were guessing an arbitrary
time based on the number of pages and the document size. As a guess
we made it pretty lax (30s per page or MB). A document hanging for
this long will probably lead to user frustration in any case and the
user may be compelled to abort the conversion.
3. Technical Challenges with non-blocking timeout: there have been
several technical challenges in keeping timeouts that we've made effort
to accommodate. A significant one was having to do non-blocking read to
ensure we could timeout when reading conversion stream (and then used
here)
Fixes#687
This reverts commit fea193e935.
This is part of the purge of timeout-related code since we no longer
need it [1]. Non-blocking reads were introduced in the reverted commit
in order to be able to cut a stream mid-way due to a timeout. This is
no longer needed now that we're getting rid of timeouts.

If we increased the number of parallel conversions, we'd run into an
issue where the streams were getting mixed together. This was because
the Converter.proc was a single attribute. This breaks it down into a
local variable such that this mixup doesn't happen.
Conversions methods had changed and that was part of the reason why
the tests were failing. Furthermore, due to the `provider.proc`, which
stores the associated qrexec / container process, "server" exceptions
raise a IterruptedConversion error (now ConverterProcException), which
then requires interpretation of the process exit code to obtain the
"real" exception.
Avoids downloading the container image 4 times in the multi-stage build
by first pulling the alpine image once and then building without any
pulls.
Implemented following a suggestion of @apyrgio.
Now that only the second container can send JSON-encoded progress
information, we can the untrusted JSON parsing. The parse_progress was
also renamed to `parse_progress_trusted` to ensure future developers
don't mistake this as a safe method.
The old methods for sending untrusted JSON were repurposed to send the
progress instead to stderr for troubleshooting in development mode.
Fixes#456
If one converted more than one document, since the state of
IsolationProvider.percentage would be stored in the IsolationProvider
instance, it would get reused for the second document. The fix is to
keep it as a local variable, but we can explore having progress stored
on the document itself, for example. Or having one IsolationProvider per
conversion.
Merge Qubes and Containers isolation providers core code into the class
parent IsolationProviders abstract class.
This is done by streaming pages in containers for exclusively in first
conversion process. The commit is rather large due to the multiple
interdependencies of the code, making it difficult to split into various
commits.
The main conversion method (_convert) now in the superclass simply calls
two methods:
- doc_to_pixels()
- pixels_to_pdf()
Critically, doc_to_pixels is implemented in the superclass, diverging
only in a specialized method called "start_doc_to_pixels_proc()". This
method obtains the process responsible that communicates with the
isolation provider (container / disp VM) via `podman/docker` and qrexec
on Containers and Qubes respectively.
Known regressions:
- progress reports stopped working on containers
Fixes#443
