Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Cecylia Bocovich <coh...@torproject.org>
* Package name : snowflake Version : 1.0.0-1 Upstream Author : The Tor Project, Inc. * URL : https://snowflake.torproject.org * License : 3-clause BSD license Programming Lang: Go Description : a WebRTC pluggable transport for Tor Snowflake helps users circumvent censorship by making a WebRTC connection to volunteer proxies. These proxies relay Tor traffic to a Snowflake bridge and then to through the Tor network. The Snowflake package includes client, broker, server (bridge), and intermediate proxy implementations. It is written in Go and is compliant with the Tor pluggable transports specification. - Why is this package useful/relevant? This package will allow for the easy installation and use of Snowflake as an censorship circumvention tool for software that uses Tor. It would also allow volunteers to run and easily update Snowflake proxies to help others circumvent censorship. There have been requests by developers and volunteers for the creation of this package [1]. - How do you plan to maintain it? I'm happy to volunteer to maintain it but am new to the Debian packaging space and would also welcome co-maintainers. - Additional considerations: This Go application has a lot of dependencies [2], which will be a pain to enumerate and package.
