#14995: systemd unit files - review
by Nusenu 02 May '15

02 May '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi weasel, following your comment [1] about your plans to use systemd instead of init.d scripts I prepared unit files [2] - tested with debian jessie. Would be great if you could comment on them. Since it feels a bit as if I would use the wrong communication channel (trac), please let me know if I should move this elsewhere. thanks, Nusenu [1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14995#comment:14 [2] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14995#comment:24 https://github.com/nusenu/tor-multi-instance-initscripts/blob/master/debian… https://github.com/nusenu/tor-multi-instance-initscripts/blob/master/debian… -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVFqosAAoJEFv7XvVCELh0AjgQAIlLflC6f+mqUUiAyvQsTO/4 +fNK1MBFUNJUpEws3gqD/3OQfBnhuV9Po4SiRMPfQo0IHuLSB0jNHslOexVBWzpY s4ypeNAH+Eu58Pomexo9xOMCZTmM7Jmhm8HdCodSXBMSKlK1jMwqqmRRQDnijf3T hYos6yeJydwXnV2yDaeF6AOiuAzIQC2s+Mwu+tynX3ETCIyDzsDcQEOaDiwnmWBX 76kIqz0sF0N7tOeMiLoMvK1J9HhW+sMH4aaGwZFXPCMLEpziIB5spEmgvpa+SoQ0 dG2q3Hd7ryBaac/KSeX/Dyidur8LxheA9slVqwkdcorXWBdQd7Xnom2WTOs/2cSf Dy3ZFJD1vi3/y6Gq0DsWY3Z4XhPPs4gTVOL056Xc/GyZXmPvAVI5mk8EdtU7ezbu NxXqjVoEcX59IWhyMOjh2eaeEZvaxmyfP38ek2f6nH5pZv9FtmjKZ61LwYtL8qJx wEn+qIVXy1Zl+qU/NhUpMeUqn029Ci+mL+6x/JfNpaka81Rtqsb+6SKQQwPwGGu7 2SwsDjM+B6YsWSf3niL3rp23XWaT1mM830QBnTrMpE+kht/4b1ytgs7NV72E30+5 Ibi5y/F/TkTc6yExJd1qxKkpXY0gnEWIgf0l4ik5FOD3DK47lQgKYg4feAcPxLUo qFDT5Y0Fnhezh5DVnRp+ =mtYl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Released BridgeDB-0.3.2
by isis 02 May '15

02 May '15

Hello all, Yesterday I released and deployed BridgeDB-0.3.2, which has several major fixes and changes. Major changes visible to users include: changing the default pluggable transport to obfs4, and users requesting bridges will note that they are again normally receiving the maximum number (3) of bridges. The temporary decrease in bridges was due to the fact that, while rewriting BridgeDB's bridge descriptor parsers (#9380), I implemented full verification of all cryptographic data involved, including signatures and descriptor digests, in order to validate the chain of bridge information from the networkstatus document (produced by the BridgeAuthority), to bridge server-descriptors, and finally to bridge `extrainfo` descriptors (which contain information on a bridge's pluggable transports). This turned out to be somewhat of a bad idea, because the BridgeAuthority appears to not producing good networkstatus documents (see #11216, #12254, #15707, and #15866). Changes in version 0.3.2 - 2015-05-01 * FIXES a problem with the calculation of Levenshtein distances between blacklisted email addresses and those on incoming email. This fixes a problem with the fuzzy matching implemented in #9385: https://bugs.torproject.org/9385. * FIXES #1839 https://bugs.torproject.org/1839 BridgeDB's distributors now rotate their hashrings at configurable scheduled intervals. * FIXES #4771 https://bugs.torproject.org/4771 BridgeDB now records which of the HTTPS Distributor's sub-hashrings are used for clients coming from Tor Exit nodes and other known proxies. * FIXES #12504 https://bugs.torproject.org/12504 Which Pluggable Transports BridgeDB distributes is now easily configurable via the bridgedb.conf configuration file. * FIXES #13202 https://bugs.torproject.org/13202 Old bridges running Tor-0.2.4.x with Pluggable Transports like scramblesuit and obfs4proxy have a bug which causes them to not include the PT arguments in the `transport` line they submit to the BridgeAuthority in their extrainfo descriptors. This causes BridgeDB to have broken bridge lines for these bridges. For example, scramblesuit requires a `password=` in the `ClientTransportPlugin` for clients to connect to it. If BridgeDB receives a line in that bridge's extrainfo which says `transport scramblesuit 1.2.3.4:1234` (without a password), then when BridgeDB gives clients a bridge line for that bridge, it'll look like "Bridge scramblesuit 1.2.3.4:1234" - meaning that it won't work. This fixes the issue by excluding broken transports from being distributed to clients. * FIXES #15517 https://bugs.torproject.org/15517 For all clients who are coming from IPv6 addresses and are not using Tor, who go to https://bridges.torproject.org, BridgeDB now groups these clients together by /32. This "grouping" causes all IPv6 clients within the same IPv6 /32 to get the same bridges. Previously, BridgeDB grouped IPv6 clients by /64 (which is ridiculously small, considering standard IPv6 allocation sizes). For all clients who are coming from IPv4 addresses and are not using Tor, BridgeDB now groups these clients together by /16. Previously, BridgeDB grouped IPv4 clients by /24. (This latter change was technically made as part of #4771.) * FIXES #15464 https://bugs.torproject.org/15464 The setup procedure for creating a BridgeDB Continuous Integration build machine is now simplified and generalised to include build environments like Jenkins, not just TravisCI. * FIXES #15866 https://bugs.torproject.org/15866 BridgeDB now ignores nearly all the information in the networkstatus-bridges file created by the BridgeAuthority. * ADDS benchmark tests to BridgeDB's test suite, and some of BridgeDB's algorithms have been revised to improve their speed. As per usual, the full CHANGELOG is available here: https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/tree/CHANGELOG -- ♥Ⓐ isis agora lovecruft _________________________________________________________ OpenPGP: 4096R/0A6A58A14B5946ABDE18E207A3ADB67A2CDB8B35 Current Keys: https://blog.patternsinthevoid.net/isis.txt
