If it is, good news, means it may not be so hard to fix. Would be nice if you could post your data on our bug tracker (https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails). So far we've been focusing on tails-verifier (ticket #7496, waiting for review...) for people to check their install, so I don't remember if we explored this.

Hi, drwhax: sexual attention.

[Tails-dev] Why Tails partition is non-deterministic?
Hello, Is there any special reason why the partition where Tails installs itself is non-deterministic? It is thanks to differing timestamps on the filesystem. This posses a problem for a prudent user who would like to be able to verify Tails integrity, e.g. by typing: dd if=/dev/sda1 | sha1sum This might be especially useful if one uses the stick on various computers and would like to verify if her USB stick holding Tails installs hasn't been modified (e.g. by a malicious BIOS). Yes, I'm aware that the first sector of the disk (/dev/sda) would still differ thanks to different partition sizes.

Yes, I didn't look at the upstream repo at first, so didn't see our patches were merged.

Personally, I guess I'll fix that next time I am blocked by it, > just like I did on feature/stretch, so _for me_ it's not urgent. I needed devel to build so I fixed it myself. It meant removing our two Torbirdy patches. That I did by merging myself my own branch for #11619, that's bold but given the tiny change I guess that's not too much. I've tested the autoconfig wizarr and didn't find any regression compared to 2.5 or 2.4. If someone (u?) wants to check again just un case, that'd be nice. That also meant merging the Tor 2.8 branch, as it has been released some days ago and our apparmor patch in devel wasn't up-to-date anymore. Ironically, that's why I wanted devel to build at the first place. bert. ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
