commit fd920dfd4fc88d14b7e569b2513b449cc63cae99 Author: Kamran Riaz Khan <krkhan(a)inspirated.com> Date: Sat May 28 18:29:15 2011 +0500 Support long top menus on smaller screens, code review fixes. The top-menu now displays "remaining" entries when right/left arrow keys are pressed enough times on shorter screens. Menus are no longer persistence and therefore are removed from Controller's init. Code review fixes: * Menu.draw() is renamed to Menu.showMenu(). * Overzealous map()s are replaced in favor of list comprehensions. * Popups are drawn through popup.add*() methods instead of drawing to windows directly. --- src/cli/controller.py | 12 ++----- src/cli/menu.py | 78 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 2 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/cli/controller.py b/src/cli/controller.py index c506302..25c3051 100644 --- a/src/cli/controller.py +++ b/src/cli/controller.py @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ def initController(stdscr, startTime): menu = cli.menu.Menu() # initializes the controller - ARM_CONTROLLER = Controller(stdscr, stickyPanels, pagePanels, menu) + ARM_CONTROLLER = Controller(stdscr, stickyPanels, pagePanels) # additional configuration for the graph panel graphPanel = ARM_CONTROLLER.getPanel("graph") @@ -135,7 +135,7 @@ class Controller: Tracks the global state of the interface """ - def __init__(self, stdscr, stickyPanels, pagePanels, menu): + def __init__(self, stdscr, stickyPanels, pagePanels): """ Creates a new controller instance.

At the same time, +getting more people involved in each others products can get us back +to the idea we had at the 2010 Potsdam meeting where we had primary and +secondary developers for each product. + +I propose we radically simplify our packages to the following four, for +all operating systems we support: + +1. tor-client. This is the tor browser bundle. +2. tor-relay. This is the tor binary with geoipdb, pre-configured as +a non-exit relay. +3. tor-exit-relay.

This is the tor binary with geoipdb, pre-configured as +a publishing bridge. + +Why? + +We support a dizzying array of packages for an ever increasing number of +operating systems. Some packages you install, some are setup via native +operating system packaging systems, some are just download and run. +Developing a standard set of packages that contain the same things on +different OSes should be possible. Users currently have to configure +their software in varying ways, and then interact with their operating +system and network devices to help the Tor network. We should make it +very easy to get tor running as the user wishes. + +It would make the user choice clear. "I want to run tor as" can be +answered by which package they download and install. There is minimal +configuration to be done, and the packages should just work 'out of the +box'. + +This could also reduce support load. Instead of supporting a billion +apps and configs that may or may not be as anonymous/private as TBB, we +just support TBB. TBB becomes the focus on making it as zero-footprint +and anonymous as possible. + +(Where does this leave TAILS? If one wants to 'torify' everything, then +use TAILS; in a virtual machine, natively, whatever. If downloading TBB +sucks, downloading TAILS would be horrible. thandy updater for TAILS, +or does that defeat the point of a read-only OS?) + +What does this mean practically for each major operating system we +support? + +Microsoft Windows + +1. tor-client.

If a user wants to run both a tor-client and +tor-(relay|exit-relay|bridge) on the same host, we run into port +conflicts. At a minimum, the tor socks port, 9050 and control port, +9051 show up right away. For the tor-(relay|exit-relay|bridge) +packages, one can disable the socks port altogether, and just leave the +control port. I believe there is some work to make vidalia and tor +negotiate a control port number and choose that, assuming nothing else +uses it. This could be true for tor-* on start. It can default to +9050/9051, but if already taken, pick the next free port for socks and +control. + +Alternatively, each package chooses a different socksport/control port +combination. + +2. Users will still run into firewalls, NAT routers, and the like while +trying to get their tor relay working. This is the same situation we +have now, but it grossly simplifies the ability to get tor working. +Step 1: install tor package of your choice +Step 2: fight with your firewall/nat port-forwards +If we get upnp working in tor itself, this may or may not make it easier +for the users. + +3. The conversion from legacy to new packaging could be a mess. Relay +operators used to doing things one way will have to change. Users used +to installing tor and then configuring their apps will have to adjust. + +4. Installing a new tbb for every new release sucks, especially in +places with little bandwidth. Getting thandy working would solve this +issue. Having standardized packages for tor-clients may also make +thandy deployment easier, as it's the same software in each package, +just different binaries. + +5. The *BSD ports system would need to create different ports, or offer +make options that enable the different configs for non-exit, exit, and +bridge relay. This is also true for fink/macports. + +Of course, users should be able to create their own packages, based on +our published packaging scripts. + +Conclusion + +While a migration to a new set of packages could be painful, the world +after the flag day would get easier and easier over time. The package +sets are simplified, nearly all of our problems with configuring tor as +a relay or bridge go away, and it simplifies product management to +defined channels. We can then focus on security, anonymity, and +usability fixes for each of the defined channels. Improvements are +pushed out across all operating systems for each channel.
