internet_connection_checker package mystery, glitch in the Matrix? #521

Closed MrCsabaToth closed 4 days ago

MrCsabaToth commented 1 week ago

I noticed this with the GitHub CI build test: suddenly it's failing and the internet_connection_checker v 2.0.0 disappeared. On https://pub.dev/packages/internet_connection_checker/versions/ the newest version definitely seems to be 1.0.0+1 so the CI error is correct: https://github.com/TrackMyIndoorWorkout/TrackMyIndoorWorkout/actions/runs/11046081347

Resolving dependencies... Because no versions of internet_connection_checker match 2.0.0 and no versions of internet_connection_checker match >2.0.0 <3.0.0, internet_connection_checker ^2.0.0 is forbidden. So, because track_my_indoor_exercise depends on internet_connection_checker ^2.0.0, version solving failed. You can try the following suggestion to make the pubspec resolve:

  • Consider downgrading your constraint on internet_connection_checker: flutter pub add internet_connection_checker:'^1.0.0+1' Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Absolutely no idea where the v 2.0.0 went, is this a glitch in the Matrix because on my local machine that's what I have. The solution will be probably to upgrade to https://pub.dev/packages/internet_connection_checker_plus ?

One fear if the change will affect the internet connection checking customization capability (#206, #392)

https://pub.dev/packages/internet_connection_checker_plus would be a feature loss, because it seems to support HTTP URLs. Currently we support generic TCP host+port.

Before disabling any content in relation to this takedown notice, GitHub

To learn about when and why GitHub may process some notices this way, please visit our README.

Are you the copyright holder or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?

Yes, I am the copyright holder.

No

Does your claim involve content on GitHub or npm.js?

GitHub

Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.

Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.

A Flutter/Dart package named "data_connection_checker" is hosted on pub.dev (https://pub.dev/packages/data_connection_checker). This package is no longer continued, as indicated by the author of another package, "internet_connection_checker" (https://pub.dev/packages/internet_connection_checker). To continue the functionality of the original package, the author of "internet_connection_checker" created a new package with the name "internet_connection_checker" and the same license as "data_connection_checker."

Noticing that "internet_connection_checker" did not support the web platform for Flutter apps, [private] cloned the package's contents under fair use, modified it to support the web platform, and published it on pub.dev under the name "internet_connection_checker_plus" (https://pub.dev/packages/internet_connection_checker_plus). [private] included the original license, credited the authors of both "data_connection_checker" and "internet_connection_checker," and, after making substantial changes, added my own license for my copyrighted work while retaining the original license.

Recently, the author of "internet_connection_checker" published a new version (v2.0.0) of their package on pub.dev. Upon investigation, I found that this version contains code strikingly similar to mine. This suspicion is supported by a GitHub commit that references the name of my package within their code (https://github.com/RounakTadvi/internet_connection_checker/blob/79a8ad9eee5de2ff3061c25537aaefb33d1ae01f/lib/internet_connection.dart#L19-L46), without giving me credit or including my license for the copyrighted work. I reached out to the author via email, requesting that they either credit me or take down the published package, but they haven't taken any action yet.

I was thinking about making a copy of the internet_connection_checker v2.0.0, upon code inspection it seems that switching to internet_connection_checker_plus won't be a feature loss, because the former is already doing HTTP requests.
