Comment:

 arma is correct. I would call this ticket the `flashproxy-client` deb
 ticket, because it will be packaging what we distribute in the
 `flashproxy-client-*.tar.gz` packages at
 https://people.torproject.org/~dcf/flashproxy/, aka #6292.

 I am in favor of having deb packages. I don't know much about building
 them myself, but I'm very willing to accept patches to make it happen. We
 have `make dist` and `make install` targets that might be useful.

 If and when #7883 happens, there will also be needed a `pyptlib` deb. In
 fact having such a deb would make me more likely to go through with #7883.

 The bridge-side server transport program is called `websocket-
 transport`--it actually uses WebSocket generically and doesn't know
 anything specifically about flash proxies. It lives in
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/flashproxy.git/tree/HEAD:/websocket-
 transport. It has not gotten as much polish as the client programs.
