Hi all!
We just had a short weekly meeting and I wanted to share the meeting notes, as usual. The IRC log can be found at:
http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting2/2019/tor-meeting2.2019-03-04-18.29.lo...
and the items from our pad are:
Discussion: - next releases (GeKo: we won't get to another alpha release before the Firefox security bugfix release on 3/19, alas :( )
mcs and brade: Last week: - Posted patches for #28044 (Integrate Tor Launcher into tor-browser). - Posted a patch for #29627 (Moat: add support for obfsproxy's meek_lite). - Reviewed patch for #29120 (media.cache_size causes some media to load extremely slowly). - Debugged #29535 (Context menu does not open on New Tab). - Provided some feedback for #27484 (Onboarding: unintuitive not-navigation buttons). - Helped with triage of incoming bugs. This week/soon: - For #28044, revise proposal 102 to take into account intrigeri’s comments as well as some things we learned during implementation. - Fix #29445 (Tor Browser is denying ESR policies.json) - Investigate #29630 (TorBrowser creates empty directory in "/tmp”) - Begin work on #29440 (Update about:tor when Tor Browser is updated). - Investigate #27484 comment:13 (DDG onboarding doorhanger disappears after tab switch). - Review the Firefox updater security audit report.
sysrqb: Last week: some release prep Worked on F-Droid release process Worked on TBA UI improvements and crash (28329) BridgeDB admin TOPL integration and OrbotService This week: Finish next iteration of TBA bootstrapping UI Some BridgeDB patch reviews Helping with TBA PT integration (if needed)
sisbell: Last week(s): - 29575 - Create tor-browser-build for Firefox with TOPL libraries: Resolved duplicate class problems. Transitive use of class files is OK. Transitive use of resources is a problem (meaning an embedded dependency aar of an embedded dependency) . I believe I finally have a solution (see below, Next Week same issue). - Testing of tor-android-service. Latest code is not passing bootstrap complete message correctly to UI. This is largely cosmetic but needs to be resolved. - responded to sysrqb code review comments. Opened issues at TOPL project for tracking. - Investigated building of tor for Android. Looked into and prototyped use of ndk-build for tor dependencies: openssl and libevent. This Week: - 29575: To resolve missing resource issues, I’m going to put orbot and tor-android-service and topl into the local artifact repo as part of the Firefox build, rather than the mobile/android/app. I believe gradle treats repo transitive resources differently. I’m also going to put dependent projects aar libraries as compileOnly scope (provided) so that we are guaranteed to only have one copy. - Create new branch with latest changes to tor-browser-build - More testing - Resolve open issues at TOPL I'd like to move most of the resources from tor-android-service to orbot app, since tor-android-service doesn't use them. (GeKo: We should talk to the guardianproject folks about that; sisbell will write an email to nathan and hans outlining where we are and where we are heading towards to keep them in the loop)
