Hi Shondoit, Thanks for taking time! > If you have a clean VM, with a default install of Windows 7, then please try it out and > let me know. If you have a dirty Windows XP in the back of your closet, try it out > as well. I'd love to hear how it breaks and then improving it. Would you be interested in the opposite? That is, a (slightly) dirty default install of Windows 7 (x64), and a clean VM with a default install of Windows XP SP3? Alternatively, I could install XP into a new partition on HDD, if you'd prefer. > Don't forget to set-up Git (git config [...]), clone torbrowser.git, > add my personal repo, checkout 'personal-build' Could you please expand on this? I haven't used Git via mingw and I don't much feel like taking the time to RTFM ;) P.S. How would one go about using your work for profile build(s) to test benefits of something like [0,1]?

Win32/MSVC: tinytest.c problems
by Gisle Vanem 06 May '12

06 May '12

There are 2 problems with the use of 'stricmp()' (line 295) in tinytest.c. 1. As it is now, I'm getting an undefined reference to 'stricmp' when linking tinytest.exe and using '-nodefault:oldnames' in the link-flags. Can we please remove this lib from the requirements? 2. 'stricmp()' is used nowhere else in Tor. But rather 'strcasecmp()'. Can we use that for consistency instead? Need to include "or.h" to include src/compat.h. Like the lines from src/compat.h says: /* Windows names string functions differently from most other platforms. */ #define strncasecmp _strnicmp #define strcasecmp _stricmp How about this little patch: --- ..\..\Git-latest\src\test\tinytest.c Wed Mar 21 10:16:58 2012 +++ tinytest.c Fri May 04 14:07:55 2012 @@ -22,6 +22,9 @@ * (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF * THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. */ + +#include "or.h" + #ifdef TINYTEST_LOCAL #include "tinytest_local.h" #endif @@ -292,7 +295,7 @@ #ifdef _WIN32 const char *sp = strrchr(v[0], '.'); const char *extension = ""; - if (!sp || stricmp(sp, ".exe")) + if (!sp || strcasecmp(sp, ".exe")) extension = ".exe"; /* Add an exe so CreateProcess will work */ snprintf(commandname, sizeof(commandname), "%s%s", v[0], extension); commandname[MAX_PATH]='\0'; ----------------- There are more MSVC-issues in other test/*.c files.

tbb-build for Windows
by Shondoit Walker 06 May '12

06 May '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The last couple of days I've been working on recreating my build environment. I remember from the last time that it was a major PITA. (Especially with outdated docs, that aside) I decided to automate as much as possible and I came up with the following bootstrapper. It's a minimal bundle and contains 7zip and mingw-get needed to completely deploy everything. How it works is like follows: The user downloads and extracts the package to C:\MinGW (for example) Then double-clicks '.\install.cmd' and the process starts. It will first copy the files to the necessary places and then runs mingw-get to retrieve all packages. After that it downloads and unpacks MsysGit (Yes, it integrates git into mingw ;) It downloads and unpacks CMake and lastly it sets some default settings to integrate msysgit features into mingw, like git auto-completion. Note that the entire thing is self-contained. It installs nothing. For now, the user still needs to download the following manually, but they can use the default install locations: Qt, MSVS C++ Express, WinSDK 7.0, DirectX SDK I could only use sha1sum for msysgit because it's the only one that offers it. mingw-get might use hashes internally. This entire process differs none from manually downloading all packages in terms of integrity checking. I'm not sure where I was going with this lil' project, but personally, I'll keep using it. I just thought sharing it would be a good idea. It might be a step in the right direction for deterministic builds. The source can be found at: https://github.com/Shondoit/tbb-build The latest package can be downloaded from: https://github.com/downloads/Shondoit/tbb-build/tbb-build-1.2.1.zip Extract it to C:\MinGW and run install.cmd, after it's finished you can start mingw with start.cmd If you have a clean VM, with a default install of Windows 7, then please try it out and let me know. If you have a dirty Windows XP in the back of your closet, try it out as well. I'd love to hear how it breaks and then improving it. Note: you need to use my 'personal-build' branch from my personal tpo repo since the latest patches have not been merged yet. And you need to install Qt, MSVC, WinSDK and DX SDK, found here: http://releases.qt-project.org/qt4/source/qt-win-opensource-4.8.1-mingw.exe http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/E/7/AE743F1F-632B-4809-87A9-AA1BB3… http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/5/4/A54BADB6-9C3F-478D-8657-93B3FC… http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/A/B/7ABD2203-C472-4036-8BA0-E50552… Qt needs to be installed /after/ tbb-build finished completely. Don't forget to set-up Git (git config [...]), clone torbrowser.git, add my personal repo, checkout 'personal-build' And then the following should Just Work*?*: $ make -f build-scripts/windows.mk build-all-binaries bundle Good luck, Thanks, And regards, Shondoit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPpdGcAAoJEPkeD+x3AmlW2h0IAJBDV96W/ttwW/AlGJqNhbWB Qjqz23ToX9oIhm4S3XVJ4UmnrBSMbgG611+aFVl1BRieOTCaaCNFZADF9YUrunex dXPI0v+MhLu31Lc/yjIA8wbf8lhKQT35nLn4SQLG6lKV9tbxZYSIkNsYB4oVzLXr 9n512ILU48t8E4yZzobsqdJEvgW89V91tG6nPoW27oDJnG9vvU6c93yLVAZhCtgK TMRGa48Vvw+vyC+Gr5XMYEMD3D4LB7jpf3yIrd7USKGDrrgRAXn+av6PYLxmizhV GlCD+PYjcaCIx1CO+gK5UnuZfEQUFXuQAvtw+unXVVDq1oHb7lMYpkOpcUt1BPA= =tpTj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Ravi plans to do network status > entries and microdescriptors so I'd suggest something besides those. There are quite a few options. How about extending stem to implement #2768? There's already Java code for verifying server descriptors and consensuses in metrics-tasks.git [0]. On stem's side this requires parsing the crypto parts of server descriptors, consensuses, and certificates. If the network statuses aren't there yet, starting with server descriptors should be fine. And once there's verification code for server descriptors and consensuses, there are more things to verify in Tor's various descriptors. Another option would be to write the parsing code for extra-info descriptors including all the stats. Once we have consensuses, server descriptors, and extra-info descriptors in stem, we can start writing a Python version of Onionoo [1], the service that provides the data for Atlas [2]. Let me know if you need more options or more input on these.

[GSoC] Greetings!
by Ravi Chandra Padmala 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

Hello everyone. I'm Ravi Chandra Padmala (aka neena). I'm an undergraduate student at GITAM University in Visakhapatnam, India. I've been a user of open source software for 6 years now. My go-to programming language is usually python. I have tinkered with a few other languages, and I try my best to be programming language agnostic, I will be working on Stem this summer (as a part of the Google Summer of Code program). Damian (atagar) is my primary mentor. Among other things, I'll be implementing the general controller class for Stem. If anyone is interested in exactly what I'm going to be working on, do take a look at my proposal which is available here[1]. If anyone needs to contact me, this is my primary email. I'm 'neena' on IRC (irc.oftc.net). I'm geographically located in GMT+5:30. (Though, my body clock is in GMT-1). -- Cheers, neena [1] https://www.torproject.org/about/gsocProposal/gsoc12-proposal-stemImproveme….

[Patch] test_util.c with MSVC
by Gisle Vanem 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

The src/test/test_util.c doesn't compile with MSVC (CL ver. 16.00.30319.01). It doesn't like the "#ifdef 0" construct, but the whole chunk should be enabled with some modifications IMHO. 'path_is_relative()' doesn't handle the "http:\\dir" case though. Why should it? Besides 'expand_filename()' isn't for Windows. I suggest this patch: --- Git-latest\src\test\test_util.c Fri Apr 06 22:45:14 2012 +++ src\test\test_util.c Thu Apr 26 08:59:18 2012 @@ -1526,10 +1526,6 @@ /* Windows */ #ifdef MS_WINDOWS - /* I don't have Windows so I can't test this, hence the "#ifdef - 0".

[GSoC] Introduction - Vidalia
by Feroze Naina 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hello, I'm Feroze and I will be working on the hidden service configuration and bandwidth scheduling plugins for Vidalia. I'm specially excited about the bandwidth scheduling plugin as I've felt the need for this. Users would like to specify different bandwidth allocation for Tor relay at different times. Currently, you have to setup a cron job and manually create a script which is tedious. I will be creating a simple interface to specify hour-wise bandwidth for every day of the week. My proposal outlines this in detail - http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/feroze/6… I'll be on #vidalia and #tor-dev with the nickname feroze.

Greetings && The APAF project
by Michele Orrù 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hello. I'm wrtiting this email to introduce myself to the tor community. I'm new to tor, I've started to discover its community with the GlobaLeaks project; and now, for the Google Summer of Code, I will be involved in the APAF project. So probably all these days I will hang around your irc channel and this mailing list, getting known to some of the core developers. The APAF project, as described by Arturo in https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2012-March/003416.html , aims to be a static file server written in python, on the same development idea behind the tor browser bundle: being a simple and portable executable for non-technical user. So, the core idea is to create a python standalone .exe / .app so that anybody can easily set up a tor hidden service and configure it (via web browser or gui, to be defined); hoping that this will spread the use of hidden services, which AFAIK, nowdays aren't so much used. The most powerful concept behind this in my opinion is that, by design, the APAF should be as modular as possible, so that any other python application developer will be able to build its own software in such a way that it runs as a Tor Hidden Service. "Most powerful" becouse learning and collaboration shall be behind the opensouce idea, which is what I hope to work for. Deadlines for the project are described in https://pad.riseup.net/p/APAF-timeline Starting today, I am going to outline the design of the APAF - which libraries it is going to use, mockups, how to be configured, and so on. Since I will probably discuss all these choices with my mentor Arturo on the irc channel #tor-dev, any advice is welcome :) Regards, -- ù
