tjr
    MinGW Build Stuff
       - Got a ton of stuff uplifted to esr60!
       -  Things outstanding:
            High Priority
            - x86 Sandbox doesn't work: landed in central; awaiting
uplift to 60: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520310
            - ASLR: need to uplift to 60:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520308
            ^^^ - Both of these are expected not be in 60.5 and will
wait for 60.6
            Low Priority (for me anyway)
            - I have an RDD crash but no one else seems to (central):
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1519608
            - Accessibility compiles but doesn't work (affects central
and esr60 AFAIK): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520177
            - Remove binutils:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520311 INVALID - We'll
need binutils for the next one (GeKo: that's kind of surprising from
reading 1471698, but I am fine with that :) )
            - binutils fixup:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1471698
            - the esr60 build requires a local mingw patch or firefox
patches: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1508316
   Rust Build Stuff - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1376621
     - Got something working (Linux only), refactored, now investigating
other OSes
     - I need a list of functions to look for. Does anyone have that?
(Mike Perry maybe?) (GeKo: What we have is in thetor-browser-spec repo
in the audits folder:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser-spec.git/tree/audits)
   I will definitely miss next week and start being less responsive

sisbell:
  Last week:
   - #29080/27609 Finished changes to TOPL. Now using TOPL for tor
installation and bootstrap. TOPL broadcasts messages back to Orbot
services (log messages to user will not change).  Finished changes and
integration with Orbot with the exception of HiddenService and Cookie DBs.
   This Week:
   - #29080 - Open TOPL issues and submit requests to merge back changes
(patch is fallback). Test integrated code with Orbot and add
HiddenService and Cookie DBs (generates HiddenServicePort and
HiddenServAuth in config file).
