Re: [Tails-dev] Requirements for a Pidgin replacement

2016-02-08 Thread ghostlands
Would this be an acceptable point to introduce the suggestion of a 
serverless communicator of some kind being included?


Uses should be obvious, but in case not, it eliminates some MITM options 
and reduces reliance on infrastructure outside the intended 
participants.


Some examples:

Tox - definitely isn't mature enough yet (hasn't had any external 
audits)


Ricochet - very reliable/stable (though a bit stagnant) and made to work 
with Tor onion services exclusively


Serverless chat in XMPP (xep-0174, no known mature implementations)

Ring (from Savoir-Faire) - development in full swing with a large and 
active team


Ring and Ricochet are the strongest candidates as far as I can tell, but 
people with better knowledge of ideal crypto implementation might want 
to look over their choices. In any case, I'd like to see it in Tails, 
even if it has to mean including two separate clients.

Yes. I see that it's been done already (with a new
nomenclature), cool!

Exactly.



Yes.


I'm glad we agree on dealing with D separatedly.

Cheers!

[Tails-dev] Serverless chat [Was: Requirements for a Pidgin replacement]

Yes, thanks for caring about this problem!

Earlier in this thread we agreed to treat "D. One-to-one chat that
protects metadata end-to-end" separately, mostly because in the
current state of things, it can't be addressed with the same tools as
the candidates we have to replace Pidgin ⇒ I'm renaming
this subthread.

On the Ricochet side of things, you'll want to have a look at
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8173, and in particular at the
last set of updates.

Cheers!

Re: [Tails-dev] ebuild for tails-installer

The way our documentation (eg https://tails.boum.org/install/debian/usb)
is built is both quite complicated and new. So I want to take some time
to think about how integrating new package in other distros. I didn't
expect this to go this fast! :)

I create https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11080 to track this.

Once Gentoo is documented I think it will be easier to add more distros
in there.

I'm glad I'll have a bit more time to work on #11080 :)

[Tails-dev] GNOME infrastructure needs to ease tails development

2016-02-08 Thread Olav Vitters
Hello,

During FOSDEM someone asked for an easier way to track GNOME bugs as
that would help tails development. I asked him (forgot the name) to send
an email to bugmas...@gnome.org, but didn't receive anything yet.

Is that still wanted? I suggested to add a keyword. Ok and what should
it be called (tails?)?

Anything else from GNOME side (e.g. infrastructure related) that would
help? I never really followed tails. Just ask away on any topic. If it
isn't possible or I don't know I'll say so.

If no clue what to ask: I suggested same once to MATE. They took over a
few git.gnome.org modules (incl tarballs on download.gnome.org).

Regards,
Olav

Re: [Tails-dev] Requirements for a Pidgin replacement

2016-02-08 Thread ghostlands
I think I lost track of the original message that started referencing 
the options according to letters :)


I'd like to suggest an end alltogether of all-in-one communication 
clients. It may fit a Windows-style mode for use, but it contradicts one 
of the more elegant and sensible parts of the Unix philosophy, that 
being one application per task.


Anyway what I'm getting at is in order to facilitate simplicity I think 
it might be helpful to talk about these things in terms of protocols or 
types of delivery that Tails wants to prioritize (rather than using 
client examples as the article of dialogue), and then choose a discrete 
and simple client for each, which will probably change of course as time 
goes by; ideally the protocols Tails supports in one way or another will 
not.


Using this perspective, it looks to me as if there are really only a 
grand total of four clients needed here: SMTP, XMPP, IRC, and some form 
of serverless system.


Is this thought disruptive in a good way or bad? It just doesn't seem 
like the hunt for an all-in-one client is going to be a good design 
choice in the long run, especially when individual clients can come 
relatively cheap size and code-wise.
