-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi ports@,
I have a preliminary port of the Tor browser working under OpenBSD-current (only amd64 tested so far). It is far from being to the point where I would propose its inclusion in ports and anyway it isn't time for that right now. However, it *is* to the point where other interested people could pitch in if they were so inclined. I have written a short piece on what I've done so far with some background on the Tor browser: http://trac.haqistan.net/blog/adventures-ports-tor-browser The rest of the parts of the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) are Firefox add-ons (except for Tor itself, which is already in ports and upon which my nascent port R-deps). I'm still unsure how to go about packaging add-ons for ports, if that is even possible; I see some FF plugins in ports but no add-ons. I'm not totally sure it even makes sense. It probably makes more sense to integrate the add-ons that are required into the tor-browser port somehow... this is really where I could use some help from more experienced ports/FF people, although of course I would also like any other kind of help (testing would be nice, esp. on architectures other than amd64). In doing this I've started to dive into the Mozilla source again, after more than a decade of not looking at it. I've been doing so mainly from a Tor perspective, looking at the things they've deemed necessary to patch and in the process looking at code that's nearby, the crazy multiple build systems, the bugs that languish for years... I'm beginning to feel compelled to do *something* in there, but I'm really not sure what. If it wasn't for the Tor browser I'd be more inclined to just ditch Mozilla entirely in favor of something simpler but sadly there are good reasons not to. I am greatly heartened by tedu's announcement on improving browser security and can only say: by Grabthar's hammer, I'm in. If there is any way I can pitch in there I will happily do so. In the meantime I'm going to grit my teeth and somehow get TBB working at least as well under OpenBSD as it does under those other OSes, warts and all. Anyone else who's interested please drop me a line.
