Comment (by sisbell):

 Replying to [comment:5 eighthave]:
 > Is TOPL used in Tor Browser at all?  Or is the idea to make official Tor
 releases of TOPL?  I'm wondering how much effort I should put into getting
 this new `TorService` integrated into TOPL.  I don't think @n8fr8 has
 plans to integrate TOPL into Orbot.  (`TorService` is the new Android
 `Service` that I'm working on for Orbot and ''tor-android-service'').

 tor-android-service uses TOPL so yes its included in the Android version
 of Tor Browser, not the desktop version. TOPL contains code that is common
 to desktop (JAVA) and Android, with abstractions that can be extended for
 each platform.

 I'm unsure on what the scope of the TorService you are working on. Is it
 bootstrap of tor? Installation? Configuration of torrc?  Does it include
 tor control connection management?

 There is not a strict requirement to use TOPL for Android. TOPL does
 contain a fair amount of code that an Android service needs to use and
 manage tor. So I guess it depends on the scope of TorService as to what it
 can replace.
