Hi, Do tails developers advise me to:
a) create a feature request at https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/issues/new for the inclusion of tracker[1] in Tails and continue the discussion there b) keep discussing the general problem on this list instead of going for a tentative improvement (including tracker) even before there is positive feedback to go in this direction Please forgive me if that's a newbie question, still learning the best way to communicate :-) Cheers [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker On 01/17/2018 12:20 AM, Loic Dachary wrote: > Hi, > > On 01/17/2018 12:03 AM, DrWhax wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I had some discussions with some of the people supporting the >> journalists working on the Snowden archives and journalists using tools. >> >> Some of them are custom written and only do one job, take out all the >> "speaker notes" for example in powerpoint presentations (don't ask). >> Most of that stuff isn't packaged in Debian and they have to install it >> themselves. >> >> The discussion we had maybe in the open or maybe in the backchannels >> was, could we maintain some kind of "journalist pack" for persistence >> where we package these tools somewhat and these things install when you >> setup your persistence. > > With 3.4 the "Install additional software" is excellent for prototyping, > indeed.
