[Tails-dev] Cannot install Tor Browser in Tails 2.0 build
Hello, First, thank you all for bringing the world Tails. My question concerns the manual build of Tails 2.0. My builds were successful up to 1.8.2 and now they break, as the Tor Browser cannot be fetched due to a DNS error in the chrooted environment.

[Tails-dev] Migrate Tail's browser AdBlock Plus to uBlock Origin
Hi, random_u...@airpost.net: the arguments against including an ad-blocker Are not thought out or are intentional for reasons not relevant to security/anonymity. best interests Would lead us to a blocker at the exits, as all of the data still gets sent by the destination and increases latency. indistinguishable fingerprints Seems limited and fights against the real traffic patterns of the internet.

Hi Miguel, I never used Gentoo myself so I won't be able to test this. But I wrote the new set of installation instructions [1] and I wonder when and how we should document tails-installer for Gentoo in there. So, what would be the process for the official inclusion of tails-installer in Gentoo? What needs to happen before a regular Gentoo user can use your work? Once this happen, I'd like to get some basic instructions so I can maybe test this in a Gentoo live CD and then I'll propose something to document this in [1].

[Tails-dev] ebuild for tails-installer
In gentoo, there are essentially three ways to install a package through the package manager: 1) Packages that are included in the main portage tree (that would be the official packages of the distro) 2) Packages included in one of the layman overlays (would be like thirthd party repos, but can be easily managed with a tool provided by the distro). 3) Packages in the local overlay of the user (would be the equivalent of downloading a .deb package and install it manually). I have no contact with the official gentoo team, so can't do much about option 1). However, Austin English, who also showed interest in this, might help with that. AFAIK, he is on hollyday now. Maybe when he comes back he could help with that. If this get fixed, gentoo users that want to install tails-installer should just use the standard way: $ emerge tails-installer and that would be it (well, maybe some work should be done to allow the installation of a package that is not marked as fully stable, but that is the kind of things that a typical gentoo user is used to deal with) About option 2), I also don't maintain any of those semioficial overlays. However, one of those overlays is focused preciselly on torbrowser and related packages. I have already sent a pull request to include my ebuild in it. If it is merged, the installation would be almost as easy. Just install the layman tool in the usual way and then: $ layman -a torbrowser $ emerge tails-installer Finally, until 1) and/or 2) become possible, a regular user can use a local overlay. In order to do so, (s)he should follow the following steps: a) enable the local overlay by adding a line like PORTDIR_OVERLAY = "/usr/local/portage/" to the file /etc/portage/make.conf b) copy the directory tails-installer and its content inside of the directory /usr/local/portage/app-misc c) run the usual "emerge tails-installer" command. I hope this helps to clarify the general picture. If you need more details, I would be happy to provide them. P.S. During the writing of the ebuild I noticed that there are several dependencies that are not listed in the README file. They are the following: configobj urlgrabber python-distutils-extra pygobject pyparted cdrtools gptfdisk best, Miguel Marco > Miguel Angel Marco Buzunariz: > > I have uploaded the ebuild to > > https://github.com/miguelmarco/tails-installer-ebuild > > > > If someone has access to a gentoo box, please test it. > > > > If furthermore someone maintains a gentoo overlay, or any other place were > > it > > makes sense to offer an ebuild, please feel free to include it. > > Hi Miguel, > > I never used Gentoo myself so I won't be able to test this. > > But I wrote the new set of installation instructions [1] and I wonder > when and how we should document tails-installer for Gentoo in there. > > So, what would be the process for the official inclusion of > tails-installer in Gentoo?

[Tails-dev] stats on upgrade time
Hi, sajolida: You cannot disable the security check for open security issues or upgrades. Not from within Tails? Should I roll my own and adjust the relevant package content beforehand? it's worth spending time on I agree d: Knowledge provides value. I must know what is being requested, sent, how, and why. Is there documentation on this [I couldn't quickly find any] or should I capture a VM session? create a ticket. Maybe.
