Hi Intrigeri,

Thanks for your feedback. I understand the situation and your proposed steps 
are absolutely legitimate from a Tails angle.
What would be the best approach for provide you a patch? I’ve seen 
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/code 
<https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/code>

But since I only own my MacBook 12“ I’m not quite sure if it is fast enough to 
build the whole project and how I would ensure everything is working correctly 
afterwards?

Cheers,
  Marco
