Comment (by gk):

 `bug_29623` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 build.git/log/?h=bug_29623) has all the things needed for Marionette in
 Linux nightly builds. However, I don't put the yet-to-be squashed version
 in review yet because using Marionette is not working right now. Selecting
 the transport just results in Tor Browser sitting in the networkstatus
 consensus retrieval step.

 Here is the log output (Tor Browser)

 Mar 04 07:34:59.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 3% (conn_proxy): Connecting to

 And here is the Marionette log on the client side:

 2019/03/04 07:34:59 Connecting to Marionette server: 165.227.39.255
 2019/03/04 07:34:59 Connected!
 2019/03/04 07:34:59 Proxying stream to connection

 I left Tor Browser waiting for 10 minutes and then aborted the experiment.

 To reproduce you can find the bundle I used at

 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/tor-browser-linux64-tbb-
 nightly_en-US_29623.tar.xz
 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/tor-browser-linux64-tbb-
 nightly_en-US_29623.tar.xz.asc

 Note: you need to add `-log-file marionette-client.log` manually to
 `torrc-default` to enabled Marionette logging as I omitted that in my
 patch. I was under the assumption client logging is not needed as
 everything works out of the box. :)
 The file is at `tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/`.
