This week: - Make #25013 work on android and figure out why the about:tor is not applying the css rules Can we use a branch instead of mozilla central? thus we can run the tor browser tests with the tor patches applied. arthuredelstein: Last week: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1438795 (checked in) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1436226 (patched) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1433592 (patched) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1330467 (patch nearly ready) Worked on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25331 This week Revise above patches for check in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1396224 Finish https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1330467 Work with mcs and brade to finish https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25331 and then try to uplift Finish https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22343 and attempt to uplift More uplift: https://torpat.ch/short boklm: Last week: - helped build and publish the alpha release (8.0a2) - fixed bug #25327 (create *-debug.tar.xz files instead of *-debug.tar.gz files) - worked on the binutils update (#16472) - started looking at data from #22346 (drop in Tor Browser update pings in early 2017 and 2018) This week: - fix #25339: Install python 3.6 for building HTTPS-Everywhere - continue working on: - toolchain updates (#16472 and #25304) [GeKo: I think we get a new tag tonight for selfrando, so we should be good for the next alpha at least] - shipping auto-updates for Tor Browser nightly channel (#18867) - testsuite updates/fixes sysrqb: - last week: - Discussed system extensions with some Mozilla devs, regarding support for legacy addons - Pushed a branch including the Orfox patches for #19675 - Updated #25260 with the current status of the TorLauncher mozbuild integration - Opened a bugzilla ticket for broken system addons on Android - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1440789 [GeKo: good stuff. once you have a r+ you can request a check-on with the [checkin-needed] keyword (assuming you don't have Level 3 commit perms for m-c] - This week - Stop being sick - Follow up on #19675 and get patches merged - Open child tickets for everything I think we should change in the Orfox patches - Actually work on TBA roadmap/design proposal isabela: haven't finished the agenda's pad - will share it to the list today tho so folks can start organizing for rome Georg
