Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:1 infinity0]:
 > I could fix this in obfs-flash, but is it essential to be building from
 wheezy? In general, we are not developing from wheezy machines, and PTBB
 is only going to be built by other developers. (The end product is a self-
 contained bundle so it should not matter where the build takes place.)

 Debian stable system, pinned at low priority so that libraries would only
 be installed if manually specified. Would this interest you as an
 alternative? You could then avoid cloning txsocksx too.

 If a one-line change is really all it takes to get things working, then
 yes, please let's just make the one-line change.

 I'm interested in hearing about potential build system improvements, but I
 don't think it's best to do while I'm in the middle of making bundles. I
 do release builds in a VM just for hygiene reasons, just so there's no
 chance of random stuff from my desktop system finding its way into the
 releases.

 Also, keep in mind that the tbb-3.0 bundles currently use (I think) either
 Ubuntu lucid or precise, which seem to have
 [http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python-twisted Twisted 10] and
 [http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python-twisted Twisted 11]. Since we
 are moving to that system for the PT bundle, it might be better to focus
 your effort on making changes for tbb-3.0. (I'm kind of hoping that this
 obfs-flash bundle will be the last major bundle we make with the
 bundle.git system.)
