teor (offline):
last week:
- I was on coverity/CI rotation, here's what happened:
- coverity appears up to date, the backlog is waiting on #26890
- Travis and Appveyor CI intermittent failures are fixed (#26787, #26830, #26853)
- macOS CI for Core Tor is in needs_review (#24629)
- Can someone (arma?) help me assign sponsors to these tickets?
- Do we have a list of current open sponsors?
- bwauth mentoring and fixes (#25925, specifically #26851 and children)
- Send ed25519 link auth keys in HSv3 only when supported (#26627)
- TBB old macOS support (#26876)
- PrivCount in Tor: blinding and encryption (#25669 and children)
- prop#295 - improved relay crypto (#26886 and children)
- prop#288 - authenticated sendme (#26288 and children)
- New reviews & review backlog (#26890, #26892, #26647)
- Booked Mexico travel
- Set up timesheets & expenses
this week:
- Work on PrivCount in Tor blinding and secret sharing branch (#25669)
- work out what to do about Rust i128 miscompilation
- I'm on design meetings this week
Here are the current proposal statuses:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/000-index.txt#n222
- We did a lot of work on prop#288 and prop#295 last week
- Here's some upcoming proposals that I'm aware of:
- PrivCount in Tor: Noise Allocation (part of #25153)
- A consensus flavour without SHA1 and RSA (ticket?)
- IPv6 Relay-to-Relay Extends (#24404)
- Which current proposals need a meeting to move forward?
- Are there any other proposal ideas?
eventually:
- Implement PrivCount in Tor noise generation (#26637, maybe #26398)
- Reduce my revision backlog
