Hi!
I've updated the very outdated tor-browser package in pkgsrc (on NetBSD). I used the patches we have for firefox-60esr and one additional one (see later in this mail).
I have a couple of questions.
There are no tarballs. Please provide some! :)
I used the git tag 'tor-browser-60.5.1esr-8.5-1-build2' but I'm not sure to which tor-browser version that corresponds. "8.5"? What is the "-1"? What is the "-build2"? What version should I call that? Is there a different tag I should have used instead?
tor-browser defaults to using socks port 9150, but tor defaults to port 9050. Why is that so? Is there an intended way (configure flag?) to change the tor-browser default?
I've inherited the attached patch from the previous version of the package. It changes the default directory to one in the user's home, which makes more sense to me on a Unix system where the program is installed in a public path. Would this patch be acceptable for inclusion, or what do you suggest?
I've tested the package by browsing random webpages, some onion sites and check.torproject.org. Is there anything else I can do test that the tor-browser package is functional and doesn't leak stuff it shouldn't?
Thanks for any feedback! Thomas
