[Tails-dev] Please review doc/7143-virtualization
I've been silently working for a while on fixing our oldest hole in the roof: Adapt documentation from Incognito! So please review doc/7143-virtualization. Consider this as an initial version, and please comment on it. There are still probably quite a lot of things to adjust. -- sajolida ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.

I will try to find something better. But I think the most important point here is to point users in the right direction. If the page just says "UEFI boot" that is something I can put into a search engine, maybe together with the brand and model number of my computer. -- sycamoreone ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.

The downside of mirrorbrain here is that it's quite big (probably too big for what we want to do) and it's not in Debian, not really authenticated, audited, etc. Still, if we want to further improve our custom script in the future, for example to include load balancing or geolocation, we might end up reinventing partly the wheel when more complex tools such as mirrorbrain already exist. Anyway, I don't feel like I'm the right person to best argue or decide on this. -- sajolida ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
Re: [Tails-dev] OnionMail sysop list fwd: New statistics script.
Hi, please remove tails-dev@boum.org from your mailing-list; I've complained a few times already about off-topic email you're sending to us. I'd rather not have to block your email address from posting on tails-dev@boum.org, as I still have hopes that you send on-topic email here some day. Still, if we go on receiving all that spam from you, I'll probably just do that.

[Tails-dev] [review'n'merge:1.3] bugfix/8699-only-create-timestamps-in-Jenkins
Hi,
since the .{src,bin}pkgs stuff was merged, our build system is leaving
.{start,end}.timestamp files around, which are useless in most cases.
anonym has complained about it, so here's a branch that only generates
these files when building from Jenkins.
This means that we can't trivially generate .{src,bin}pkgs files
outside of Jenkins anymore. If someone is lacking this feature some
day, tell me and I'll revisit.
Candidate for 1.3.
Cheers,
--

[Tails-dev] RFC: Use homogenous Debian mirrors at build time (#8726)
Hi, we're currently hard-coding very little about the Debian mirrors we use at build time in our Git tree. Historically, this was meant to allow people to choose their preferred mirror (e.g. local mirror) and to cope with squid-deb-proxy's lack of flexibility. Nowadays, most of us use apt-cacher-ng, that can rewrite such URLs on the fly if needed (generally a bad idea, see below, but oh well), so probably we don't need this flexibility anymore. Besides, this level of flexibility has just hit us hard, by introducing a bug (#8715) that has taken many hours to three of us to debug. More generally, our stuff will be more consistent, easier to reproduce, and our QA process will be more reliable if we all use the same mirrors at build time as the one we configure in the ISO. So, I want to: 1. hard-code in auto/config all mirrors that shall be used at build time 2. update vagrant/provision/setup-tails-builder so that it doesn't configure LB_*MIRROR*, and deconfigures them if present 3. update wiki/src/contribute/build.mdwn so that it doesn't advise to set $LB*MIRROR* 4. update tails::builder so that it doesn't configure LB_*MIRROR*, and deconfigures them if present (Steps 1-3 are implemented already in feature/8726-use-homogenous-Debian-mirrors-at-build-time.) Thoughts? Use cases I've not thought of?
