Hi, the feature/5379-remove-polipo branch builds upon the ones for #7416 (proposed for 1.2.1), #6623 (proposed for 1.3) and #8194 (not submitted formally yet), that configure the remaining Polipo users to use the Tor SOCKS proxy instead. And it goes further, by removing all traces of Polipo, thus achieving one of our goals for Tails 3.0.
As indicated on #5379, it currently passes the revelant bits of our automated test suite, but Totem is broken => #8219. So, in short, in order to complete the Polipo removal, we need to upgrade to torsocks 2.x (#6880). Eight months ago, David Goulet has reported about early tests on that ticket, but I haven't seen things move since then. I suspect a run of our automatic test suite on an ISO that ships torsocks 2.x might be a good next step, and could help discover potential issues. Anyone wants to prepare a feature/6880-torsocks-2 branch that installs torsocks 2.0 from wheezy-backports, and migrates its configuration file accordingly? (Yeah, seems like I strongly needed to procrastinate and work on something not urgent, for a change -- thankfully it seems useful :) Cheers, -- intrigeri _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
