Source package: https://mentors.debian.net/package/meek Binary packages: https://people.torproject.org/~infinity0/bin/
From the binaries, one should install both meek-client and xul-ext-meek-http-helper; the latter depends on xfvb and xauth.
meek-client has been modified slightly to run meek-http-helper in a headless firefox using Xfvb(1), so that it works even when run as a system service. Example torrc:
~~~~ UseBridges 1 Bridge meek 0.0.2.0:1 url=https://meek-reflect.appspot.com/ front=www.google.com ClientTransportPlugin meek exec /usr/bin/meek-client-wrapper --log /var/log/tor/meek-client-wrapper.log --helper /usr/bin/meek-browser-helper -- /usr/bin/meek-client --log /var/log/tor/meek-client.log ~~~~
Also, to have meek-client-wrapper clean up child processes correctly one needs to apply the patch mentioned here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=779608#20
After running `service tor restart`, you'll end up with something like this:
$ sudo ls -1a /var/lib/tor/ . .. .cache cached-certs cached-descriptors cached-descriptors.new cached-microdesc-consensus cached-microdescs cached-microdescs.new .dbus Desktop .gconf .gnome2 .gnome2_private .lesshst lock .mozilla state
This is not ideal but I don't know of a good way around it - suggestions welcome.

This is great. Thanks a log. The xfvb idea is really clever.
Someone asked this question on Tor Stack Exchange: https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/3620/how-to-install-tor-with-meek-su... Seems like this package will soon be the answer?
I'll suggest the meek-client-wrapper program from #12716 to the maintainer of the FreeBSD port.
