Hi!
We had our weekly Tor Browser meeting yesterday. Our IRC log can be found at
http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting/2018/tor-meeting.2018-11-05-18.58.log.txt
Notes from our pad are
Discussion:
- status updates
- timesheet deadline
- tba-a2 release planning (GeKo: we plan to have everything ready
for TBA-a2 in about two weeks)
- We are embedding tor button within tor browser, should we ship it
with all locales? (GeKo: I think for now let's just go with en-US and we
can think about adding locales as we go)
- OTF engineering lab - need a TBA volunteer to coordinate with
Nathan and possibly gaba (for gettor stuff) on ways for users to get TBA
initially e.g if it's censored on app stores (GeKo: we mull over this
idea in the coming days to have something we can pursue after we have
the TBA release out)

sysrqb:

Reviewed #25013 (integrating torbutton into tor-browser)
Integrated Orbot into TBA (#28051)

sisbell:
Last week:
- # 27443 Firefox for Android - fixed arch dependencies and updated
mozconfig to align with tor-browser mozconfig (GeKo: could you remove
the ccache related entries? we are building within containers from
scratch and ccache should not help much in that scenario. However, it
might do so in local builds which is why it is there.)
This Week:
- # 27977 - Look into orbot in tor-browser-build
- # 28144 - TorButton investigate adding to projects (igt0: I think
this ticket is affected by the #25013)
- # 27609 - Evaluate Tor Onion Proxy Library
pospeselr:
Last week:
- updated and minimal patch for #26540 (setting pdfjs range
request first party domain)
- wrote some words on arthur's #28259 (is not saving history
hurting tbb retention rates)
This week:
- need to verify cookies are sent/stored correctly with #26540
following some concerns from arthur (GeKo: are those concerns documented
somewhere? if not, could we add them to the ticket?) pospeselr: not
documented, putting on the ticket
- review feedback/changes on #3600 discussion doc, figure out
what we should actually implement given the options
tjr:
- Worked on backporting mingw-clang patches to esr60
- Got a running build on -central with --enable-sandbox
- Need to re-apply the __try / __except mappings, since
mingw-clang cannot use them
- Annoyingly, the test suite doesn't work in TC for an unknown
reason =(
- Fixed a fuzzyfox crash
-

attach patches. arthur: OK! Just one by one attachments? There's quit a
few so I thought it would help keep things organized.
