Comment:

 Here's the current status of getting ooni-probe in Debian. The packaging
 for ooni-probe itself is not done. I was hoping to be able to run some
 unit tests first to verify that the depencies were correct before moving
 forward.

 Here is the status of what I have been able to determine as dependencies,
 the expected versions and the status in Debian:

 [1] This actually needs a small patch to add compatibility with C module
 GeoIP on top of PyGeoIP. See #8507.
 [2] <https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/txtorcon_0.7-1.html>
 [3] txsocksx is actually ready. One of its dependencies is python-parsley.
 The packaging of the later, version 1.1~pre1-1 is also ready. I was
 waiting to test both using ooni-probe before uploading them to Debian.

 Having a package for ooni-probe should be fairly straightforward,
 hopefully. It will be more complicated than a Python library, but so far I
 don't see any pitfalls. I have not tested updating the current python-
 scapy package to tip, though.
