Comment (by sysrqb): Replying to [comment:15 sisbell]: > Evaluation: > > 1. Tor Installation: Tor Onion Proxy library is using tor-android- binary - Who is going to install the tor binary? Orbot or Tor Onion Proxy Libray. If orbot installs, we will need to configure the onion proxy to use those locations for tor files/libraries. We'd use this instead of Orbot. This library would completely replace our Orbot implementation. > 1. Settings Screen: there is no settings screen: configure ports, delete/add onion addresses [these features need to be defined] Right. We'll need to create our own UI for Orbot and TOPL, so I don't consider this a blocker. > 1. Starting Proxy: This is a simple operation to start but we need to display the startup logs to the user. We also need to define UI to handle things like restart or shutdown. > 1. Stability: Its workable for an alpha, but we should cleanup up the threading and socket connections > This is what I'm primarily worried about. Is the code quality where we need it. Is it tested? Is the code safe (for some value of safe)? With Orbot, we weren't exposing our users to new code (because Orbot was previously a dependency). If we use TOPL then we should be confident this won't be worse. > In summary: this is not a simply a drop-in. It will need a UI defined and built but core functionality is all there. Suggest cleanup of threading before a production release. Can you estimate how much time this will require? Would we need to re- write much of the code and redesign it? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27609#comment:18> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
