#32498: Consider updating MAR_CHANNEL_ID for nightly build (and maybe alpha too) -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: boklm | Owner: tbb- | team Type: task | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: tbb-rbm, boklm201911, tbb-update, | Actual Points: TorBrowserTeam201911 | Parent ID: #18867 | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: -------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Comment (by mcs): Using different MAR channel IDs would prevent the updater from accepting a mar file from a different channel (probably better from a security point of view). If I remember correctly, doing so would also prevent use of MAR tools such as `signmar` across releases. That would probably be OK, but might lead to some confusion for developers. If we do switch the MAR channel for in our alpha series we need to think about how to make the transition. I believe that such a transition will require a "watershed" update, but I have not spent a lot of time thinking about it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32498#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
