Re: [Tails-dev] Package Tor Monitor

I have been lurking on this ML for a while so I might just break my
silence right now.
I have done some Debian packaging in the Debian Med team, for now mainly
working on bioinformatics software [1] but I would like to broaden my focus
a bit. As I've always been interested in privacy enhancing technologies
as well, I would like to help out with some additional packaging work if I
have the time and given some priority advice (haven't looked at the bugs in
pkg-anonymity-tools in detail yet).

I'm a DM so you hopefully won't need to sponsor every single update after 
awhile ;)

Long story short, there’s a first version of a tor-monitor package in:
https://github.com/satta/tor-monitor

It’s quite Debian-style (just build with git-buildpackage) — I am not sure
whether you do things much differently in Tails. I can file an ITP if you
want it in Debian as well. Looking forward to hear what you think.

Cheers
Sascha

Great, fine with me.

Noted. Another way to be sure to test the right {topic,base} branch HEAD
commits could also be to simply copy the workspace from the isobuilder
to the isotester. That's something Jenkins knows how to do.

Yes, we had one but not so much concerned people attended.

So please contributors, take some time reading and commenting on this
blueprint. Most of it is a copy of the automated builds one, as it is
the next step in the chain and the previous one defined already most of
our design.

Given it will be deployed in < 2 monthes, it's quite the last moment to
do so, and to make it clear, you won't be able to complain afterward. :)

I would co-maintain this with nodens and if anyone on the list is
interested.. i can do some handholding.

My rule is to never rewrite already published Git history, unless I'm
100% sure that nobody looked at it yet, or unless the reviewer
explicitly asks for it.

In this case it's OK to rewrite history, because the reviewer has
explicitly asked for it.

Some people push the rewritten branch with a "-squashed" suffix, and
leave the original branch untouched. In doubt, I suggest you do this.

OK, got it. I would rather avoid a regression here (replacing a tool
that's in Debian with one that isn't). Note that Vidalia is not in
Jessie, and it's going to be removed from sid soon.

Anyway: someone needs to do the initial packaging :)
