Not sure if anyone knows of this, but the following might be a good
solution to scale the current mirror system and is used by a number of
other open source projects.

commit f1765702977dde8948e9fb85e5ac58fc8a90f4df
Author: Tails developers 
Date:   Thu Jan 15 12:00:01 2015 +

Improve section about UEFI boot in support/known_issues.

Based on an IRC discussion about problems booting a X220 from
a USB device created using the Tails Installer. The known_issues
pages didn't mention explicitly that using UEFI might fix the problem.
Also adding the X220 to the list of problematic thing pads.

in branch doc/know_issues from git.tails.boum.org:sycamoreone/tails

Should mention: Enabling UEFI actually did fix the problem.

Re: [Tails-dev] AdBlock Plus in Tails' Tor Browser

[MrGorbachevteardownthiswall]

https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2015-January/007821.html

"let's remove AdBlock in our next major release"

Please don't. If the user(s) wish to remove it per session that's their 
prerogative, but don't remove it for us all. It is a very useful plug-in.

"but it might also be the case that very few people complain."

The minority use mailing lists, so you probably won't hear the complaints from 
the majority, they're lucky if they find the Tor Blog, the related Reddit 
sub(s), and tor@stackexchange.

Removing ABP is a stupid idea - like previous talk in the past of installing 
the popcon package. I'm delighted that never happened.

If you want to start removing things, begin with files which have no business 
in this distro, like:

libsoundtouch0
libcheese-gtk21
libcheese3 [and other related cheese packages]
libwildmidi-config
libwildmidi1:i386

[...] and *many* other packages. Do we really need a package supporting 
playback of music from gaming hardware? MIDI software, too? Unless people are 
passing encrypted MIDI music I don't see how software like this is needed.

Before you start chipping away at the browser and/or browser add-ons, let's 
take a closer look at other programs contributing to the bloat.

Except you don't get support for the opt-in persistence feature, nor
for automatic upgrades. In my experience, most users want at least one
of those. That's why we only support the isohybrid.pl installation
method as a way to bootstrap and then clone onto another device with
Tails Installer. Hoping I've made the context clearer :)

Hi,

We plan indeed to investigate porting the Tails installer for Windows
and Mac. This is https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8560 and
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8558

Please report such bugs:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/bug_reporting/index.en.html Do
not forget to describe explicitly what the problem is and how to
reproduce it.

Thanks,

[Tails-dev] Tails contributors meeting: Tuesday February 03

[sajolida]

The next Tails contributors meeting is scheduled for:

Tuesday 03 February
#tails-dev on irc.oftc.net
 9 pm in Paris
 8 pm in London
 3 pm in New-York
12 pm in San Francisco
 
Every one interested in contributing to Tails is welcome.

Feel free to propose and prepare discussion topics. Either:

  - Raise them in this thread so that others can ask details and prepare the
discussion too.

  - Update the blueprint of the agenda:

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/monthly_meeting/

  - Make sure that the discussion tickets that you want to treat during the
meeting are well detailed on Redmine.

If you want to get involved but don't know yet how, please introduce
yourself during the meeting, and be sure to tell us what you are
interested in.

The meeting might not be the most adequate time and place to properly
introduce newcomers to the development process, but at least it should
be a fine place to know each others, and schedule a better
suited event.
