Re: [Tails-dev] Maintaining I2P

[Alexandre Trottier]

I'll spend the next 1-2 weeks getting familiar with the package maintenance
process.

Any and all information/documentation would be great.
Thanks!

Yes, see: https://geti2p.net/en/download/debian#debian

> And thus, that the code used to generate that package is available?

I'm sure zzz would make this and any documentation available on request if it 
isn't already. The I2P sources has a `debian` directory:

https://github.com/i2p/i2p.i2p/blob/master/debian/changelog

but the changelog hasn't been updated for 5 months, since version 0.9.27. I 
*just* stumbled upon zzz's twitter and found some tweets indicating that 
someone else already might have taken over the Debian packaging from zzz:

https://twitter.com/echeloni2p/status/842030392525914117
https://twitter.com/echeloni2p/status/842012052260589568

Any way, I want to stress the fact that whoever works on integrating I2P into 
Tails does *not* have to be the I2P Debian package maintainer as well.

Cheers!

Does that mean that there is a package already somewhere? And thus, that
the code used to generate that package is available? That might be
helpful for Alexandre I guess.

Cheers!

I have written the specific requirements here: 
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12264

Note that what we need in Tails doesn't include Debian packaging, although 
someone taking over that part from zzz (the I2P Project Manager, who is not so 
happy about having to do it at the moment) would be great! Let us know what you 
think!

Cheers!

Sounds good I'll start reading

Great!

For the Debian packaging aspect, I recommend starting with:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/packaging-tutorial/

For the Tails integration aspect, the best entry point we currently
have is: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/code/

Well, not exactly: there is also integration development + maintenance
work, to make I2P work fine in the context of Tails. So there's Debian
packaging, system integration work, and (as usual in Tails)
communication with our technical writers and UX team to ensure the
integration is up to our standards :)

I'll let anonym follow up, since I think he has the list of the
top-priority issues we want to see fixed in I2P integration before
it's reintroduced into Tails.
