The original browser bundle expects to run from a bundled directory,
typically under user's home. This version creates a firefox distribution
with preloaded extensions and settings that functions more like an
ordinary firefox installation.
The approach used here could be generalized to allow specification of
custom firefox distributions. Eventually, the code will be factored so
that the tbb is just an instance of that more general construct (firefox
base + extensions + prefs).
Currently, we use the latest upstream versions of extensions and so on.
Eventually we want to track the upstream bundle more closely and ideally
use the exact same inputs (firefox source, extension sources).
To avoid mixing up profile data, all runtime state is stored under
$XDG_DATA_HOME/tor-browser.
Major TODO items
- Pluggable transports
- Upstream TBB version parity
- Avoid fetchgit
- Build NoScript from source (no upstream source repo, however, must rely
on third-parties)
- Improved notation for packaging extensions
- Feature parity with the binary bundle (apulse and runtime purity, in
particular)
oslo-service:
needs to disable tests due to network errors when importing eventlet
for tests ( socket.getprotobyname('tcp') -> no such protocol )
eventlet: 0.17.4 -> 0.20.0
cannot update to 0.21.0 due to version pinning ( < 0.21.0 ) of oslo-service
monotonic: 0.4 -> 1.3
oslo-serialization: 1.10.0 -> 2.20.0
oslo-utils: 2.6.0 -> 3.29.0
oslo-concurrency: 2.7.0 -> 3.22.0
oslo-log: 1.12.1 -> 3.31.0
oslo-context: 0.7.0 -> 2.18.1
routes: 1.12.3 -> 2.4.1
webob: 1.4.1 -> 1.7.3
when updating i rewrote the package to use fetchPypi for making future
updating easier
also updated the following dependencies:
keystoneauth1: 3.1.0 -> 3.2.0
disabled tests which require oslo-config, oslo-test or requests-kerberos
oslo-i18n: 2.7.0 -> 3.18.0
oslotest: 1.12.0 -> 2.18.0
os-client-config: 1.8.1 -> 1.28.0
needed to disable testing due to circular dependency with oslotest
mox3: 0.11.0 -> 0.23.0
disable tests for py36 due to upstream bug
debtcollector: 0.9.0 -> 1.17.0
tests enabled
extra packages:
requestsexceptions: init at 1.3.0
