 Hi,
 
 nothing new in Git on this front, so this is a pure APT merge request:
 
 $ reprepro ls iceweasel
 iceweasel | 10.0.9esr-1+tails1 | 
 devel | i386, source
 iceweasel | 10.0.10esr-1+tails1 |  
 experimental | i386, source
 iceweasel | 10.0.10esr-1+tails1 |
 feature-torbrowser | i386, source
 iceweasel | 10.0.9esr-1+tails1 |   
 testing | i386, source
 
 Please test and merge the feature-torbrowser APT suite into testing
 and devel. Worked fine for me when I quickly tested it within Tails,
 and I'm using another binary build of that source package as my
 regular browser for a few days.

Done. However, there were permission problems, so I had to manually
`chmod a+r` all files in `pool/main/i/iceweasel/`. After that I
successfully built testing and got a seemingly working iceweasel
upgraded to esr10. Great!

Cheers!

[Tails-dev] forking Tails documentation pages credit

2012-11-07 Thread adrelanos
Hi,

I plan to fork a few Tails documentation pages.

For example the warning page:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/warning/index.en.html

The majority of points applies to any Tor based projects, Tails, Liberte
Linux, TBB, Whonix. For example Tor doesn't protect you from a global
adversary, Confirmation attacks, etc. apply to all projects.

I hate to fork it, but I don't know a better solution which allows
cooperation. There are some pros, cons, ideas about general guide to
anonymity, and obstacles in my mind but no practical and suitable
proposal for a shared  documentation project and I want to keep this
mail relatively short. The torproject.org wiki is not really suited. It
doesn't support multiple languages and from experience I can say
torproject's time is very limited.

Long story, short question:

To properly give credit and honor the license, is it okay to write the
following on the top? Or do you prefer something else for credit?

This page is a fork/is based on/contains part of the [Tails warning
page](https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/warning/index.en.html), which is
under GPLv3.)

Cheers,
adrelanos

Re: [Tails-dev] Call for testing 0.14~rc2

2012-11-07 Thread intrigeri
Note for the one who manages the release: we need to make sure the
final ISO does not get the latest live-config (3.0.9-1): it has
basically nothing useful for us, and it migrates to new paths brought
by live-boot 3.0~b7, which we're not ready for yet (details:
todo/newer_live-boot).

 Actually, both Tails and the Tor Browser Bundle could benefit from
 a usability study.

Thank you, Runa, for mentioning Tails here.

 Usability studies only help if there's development resources to make
 the suggestions happen. Mike and Tails should be the ones to make
 the call about if they have the bandwidth to take advantage of
 a usability study or not.

A part of Tails that we know does need usability improvements is the
tails-greeter boot menu (ticket [1]).

  [1] https://tails.boum.org/todo/tails-greeter:_revamp_UI/

Some thought was given to it, and a few mockups [2] were produced.
This is probably not enough foundations for a proper usability study,
but it shows we do want to revamp that thing with usability in mind,
and at least one of us is up to development work on it.

 [2] https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2012-October/001781.html

I'm unsure if any one of us has the bandwidth needed to take advantage
of a full-blown usability study, but that's clearly worth proposing
and discussing. I'm thus Cc'ing tails-dev to initiate the
discussion there.

(Side note: we've also had some bolder and crazier ideas that are
still to be written clearly somewhere public (e.g. integrate the
persistence setup within the greeter, allow persisting some greeter
settings), and may be worth integrating in a usability study, whose
scale would get much bigger, though.)

Cheers,
