Hi,
here are the meeting notes from our last meeting on Monday, Feb 26. The
log is on
http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting/2018/tor-meeting.2018-02-26-19.00.log.txt
and the items from the pad are:
Discussion:
Possible grant proposal for

?
pospeselr:
Last week:
fix for #25112
Uncovered root cause (missing wow_helper.exe), and put up a patch
for review
Disables sandboxing specifically for WOW64 Vista and below rather
than integrating
wow_helper.exe into the build since this problem 'goes away' once we
move past ESR52 shortly
uplift #22794
Got TryServer access setup and working for me
Running tests for linux, linux64 and macos
Seems like my patch may have introduced some regressions :(
This week:
fix regressions (if they are real) introduced by #22794 patch [GeKo:
Do you have a bugzilla number for that?]
[pospeselr: patch isn't yet uplifted to gecko-dev; verifying the
test failures are consistent and will open a trac ticket if the failures
are real; will create mozilla uplift bug once patch is passing firefox's
tests] [GeKo: okay, sure]
mcs and brade:
Last week:
- For #23136 (Moat integration):
- Helped debug issues with Georg's builds.
- Fixed a problem with cancel and posted a revised Tor Launcher patch.
- Discussed possible support for obs4proxy's meek_lite mode (for
Tails).
- Reviewed a fix for #25000 (modifications to NoScript's whitelist
break webextensions)
- Worked with Arthur on a couple of uplift issues:
- #18900 (TB 6.0a5: updater doesn't work on Linux (cannot find
libraries))
- #25331 (Test from #18912 failing)
Planned for this week:
- For #23136 (Moat integration), discuss and fix some issues
reported by Georg.
- Work with Arthur to find the root cause for #25331 (Test from
#18912 failing).
tjr
Landed a 2ms bump in nightly and beta; uplifting to ESR 52.7
This is going to cause merge failures. (Sorry.)
Hide the canvas prompt unless triggered by user input is landed
Arthur worked on the keyboard patch - thanks so much
Fixed leak: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1438795
Close to fixing breakage:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1433592
Why doesn't MinGW run is a little closer, need to talk to Bob Owen
Mostly have worked on Timer Fuzzing
GeKo:
Last week:
- Slow progress on clang-based cross-compilation (#21777). I am
still hitting issues faster than I can diagnose and work around them but
am able to build a large chunk of m-c right now
- Finished by patch for #23439 (exemption of .onion from mixed
content blocking)
- Worked on code review for #23136
- Thought about how to deal with the feedback for the security
control redesign
This week:
- More work on #21777
- More code review
- uplift my patches for .onion treatment in mixed content
scenarios (this is Mozilla's bug 1382359)
- post an updated draft for the security control redesign
igt0:
Last week:
- Rebasing #25013 to run on mozilla central
It needed a bunch of changes since firefox deprecated few
APIs and removed few browser specific css.
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.
