[tor-reports] Lunar's report for April 2013

[Lunar]

Hi!

In April, I was planning to:

> Take care of support requests in french.

Done for 11 tickets. I've also worked on 7 help tickets in english, and
ditched 33 spams.

> Spend some time reviewing the french translation of the short user
> manual.

Review completed and fixes made on Transfex.

I took the opportunity to review the glossary (#8773) and comment on the
english version of the Short User Manual (#8779).

I also filled a ticket about mentions of the obsolete mac-ppc platform
(#8709) in GetTor.

> See the Python implementation of obfsproxy uploaded to Debian.

Uploaded in Debian experimental on 2013-04-08.

Backported, together with pyptlib, to Debian Wheezy, Debian Squeeze,
Ubuntu Oneiric, Ubuntu Precise, Ubuntu Quantal and Ubuntu Raring (on a
later occasion) and uploaded to deb.torproject.org.

Doing a backport to Ubuntu Lucid failed (#8714).

I also had to roll out another round of builds and uploads a few hours
later because the initial command-line compatibility fix was swallowed
by distutils. The fix got in obfsproxy 0.2.2 as well.

In the process of getting access to deb.torproject.org, I wrote some
guidelines on how to use that part of the Tor project infrastructure:
<https://help.torproject.org/tsa/howto/build_and_upload_debs/>

> Help more people to set up obfs3 bridges.

I've directly helped two sysadmins, but thanks to George's blog post, it
became unecessary to do anything else other than answering some
questions on tor-relays at tp.o.

> Work some more on Debian packages for OONI and its dependencies.

python-txtorcon has entered Debian unstable on 2013-04-12. I have filled
some wishlist bugs for outdated dependencies. #8506 is tracking
progress.



What I should be doing in May:

 * Take care of support requests in french.
 * Get to know the various features Transifex offers to teams once they
   are activated for the Tor project.
 * Co-present a talk in french about the current diversity of the
   Tor network at THSF2013: <http://thsf.tetalab.org/2013/>
 * Work some more on Debian packages for OONI and its dependencies.
   Wheezy should be released on 4/5th May. Getting out of the freeze
   should help future work.
