Hi everyone!
Our weekly meeting just finished. The log can be found at
http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting2/2019/tor-meeting2.2019-04-08-17.31.log.txt
and the entries from our pad are in full copy below:
Discussion:
-8.5a11? (GeKo: we aim for this week)
-next meeting? (GeKo: next week won't work well for a bunch of us
and the Monday thereafter is public holiday in some countries, so we aim
for 4/23 same time, same place)
- #29837 Include Tor Browser data from Google Play (GeKo: We'll
think about that after we are done with TB 8.5)
tjr (may miss)
- Did a bunch of letterboxing work, and think I have an idea of what
sets of window sizes we should pursue.
- Will present it at the monthly meeting tomorrow, but have written up
my notes and they are in that minutes doc
- Sent an email link to it last week; ask me on irc (or gk, or Richard)
for it.
GeKo:
Last week:
- worked on localization tickets for mobile: #30016 and #30069
- tried to come up with a good theory about why our previous
attempts on addressing the accessibility bug on Windows (#27503) failed
- reviews: #22538 (acat's first bug!1!), #29768 (started
reviewing #29328; sysrqb: if you have any ideas about my last comment,
please add them)
- wrote smaller patches: README update for x86 android target
(#29980), no need for libgtk2.0 headers for WebRTC build (#30038)
- i dug down the media container rabbit hole for #29859 and am
sufficiently sure our workaround does not make matters worse
- looked over tjr's proposals and added them to the
tor-browser-spec repo
- followed up on the potential proxy bypass outlined in #29916
but did not get a reply yet
- sponsor27 prep
- begin of the month team admin updates
- review help with my tickets (thanks mcs and brade for already
picking up some tickets) (GeKo: That got sorted out, boklm is picking up
#30016 and sysrqb #28622, #29843, #29859, and that's it for now)
This week:
- finish #30069 and more work on removing no longer necessary
Orfox patches
- more tbb-8.5(-must) work and help where needed
- hopefully substantial reviews for #28329 and #27609 (and
friends) so that we can start building 8.5a11
- release prep and building 8.5a11
sisbell:
Last week:
- Investigated tor loading issue with latest version of loader from
tor-android-binary. On some devices tor isn’t being found (OS5/note3,
OS7/motog6). Working on Samsung s10 and emulator.
- Opened and fixed 6 new issues on TOPL project. Mostly dealt with
making TOPL more configurable (needed to customize tor installation)
- Significantly improved startup time of Tor/TOPL by reimplementing
startup.
- tor-android-service: Created custom installer based on what I
learned in investigating loading issues. By following library naming
conventions, we can force installing of tor/PT libraries.
- worked on integrating changes into tor-browser-build. Cleaned up
build by using ndk filters in gradle, rather than adding/removing
libraries with zip utility.
This Week:
- Get latest code building/working in Firefox project.
- Check in code that is in sync from March 16th. Then update to
latest tor-browser-build master.
boklm:
Last week:
- Some reviews (#29980, #29966, #30038)
- Made patch for #30039 (Add the target_append and
target_prepend input_files options in rbm)
- Started a patch for #29981 (Add option to build without using
containers), and tried to get matching android builds with and without
containers. It seems possible if we solve the stalling jarsigner issue.
- Went to IFF
This week:
- Finish fixing #27137 and disable all currently failing tests
- Make some patch for #26907 (Guard against failures during MAR
file generation)
- Work on #30089 (Use apksigner instead of jarsigner) and #29981
(Add option to build without using containers)
- Help building 8.5a11
- Review #30016 (Include onboarding/start-up translations in
localized builds)
