Re: [Tails-dev] Release schedule for Tails 1.2.2 (Missing Debian Updates Since 1.2.1?)
Hi, i-only-fuck-blow-up-do...@safe-mail.net wrote (29 Dec 2014 10:13:11 GMT) : I'm confused. Version 1.2.2 was an emergency release but where is the 1.2.2 Changelog page @ tails.boum.org with the usual list of security updates since 1.2.1? None. If there were none, and Nothing changes except the version number for Tails 1.2.3, then something is very wrong with the releases 1.2.2 - 1.2.3 if you ignore the usual Debian Security Updates. If you look here (https://www.debian.org/security/) you may observe some serious security issues in various packages, especially: DSA-3095 xorg-server: https://www.debian.org/security/2014/dsa-3095 but in several more since 1.2.1! What happened here? Where were these security issues patched in 1.2.2? We were lacking the resources to prepare a full-blown release that would include such fixes. Please keep in mind that we're not releasing a new Tails everytime a DSA is issued. If not, we're skipping them in 1.2.3? 1.2.3 will have any security fix that's in Debian.

Given this problem has been around for 5 days already, how about we give ourselves 2 more days (say, until the end of the year) to try and find a workaround or proper fix for that, before merging this? Rationale: if we do find a workaround that makes 1.2.2 actually useful (for the upcoming upgrade to 1.2.3) in the next few days, it would be even more confusing for users to get 1.2.2 back after reverting it.

Re: [Tails-dev] Windows camouflage for Jessie/GNOME shell
Hi, Please find below a blog post proposal. Cheers --- % Call for participation : port windows camouflage to GNOME 3.14 You are into GNOME development and want to participate to Tails? You improve your GTK and/or GNOME Shell theming skills and want to support users needing privacy and stealth? Consider porting Tails's Windows camouflage to GNOME 3.14 # What is Windows camouflage? Tails documentation reads if you are using a computer in public you may want to avoid attracting unwanted attention by changing the way Tails looks into something that resembles Microsoft Windows 8. This is what we call the Windows camouflage. # Why is it useful? We got reports that users has been arrested while using a privacy-enhancing distribution because their screen looked very different from others, which raised suspicion. It's why Windows camouflage has been added to Tails. # What should be done? Current Tails is based on GNOME 3.8 in Fallback mode. We are currently upgrading Tails on top of the upcoming version on Debian (Jessie) which is based on GNOME 3.14. Windows Camouflage should be upgraded to the last version of GTK and ported from GNOME Panel to GNOME shell. That includes GTK and GNOME Shell theming though CSS as well as writing a custom GNOME Shell extension. # Why do we need you? The team currently working on Tails on the long run is very busy and decided to focus on the core or the upgrade rather than on Windows Camouflage. We thus decided to consider the possible lack of Windows Camouflage as NOT blocking the initial Tails/Jessie release. However, we would love to ship Windows camouflage and think it's a good occasion for you to give a hand. We'll provide support to anybody volunteering and work together on integrating the new theme to upcoming Tails/Jessie snapshots. # Where should you start? Please read https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/update_camouflage_for_jessie/, then write to tails-dev@boum.org.
