-
Announcements: * [dgoulet] I know it is quite big and it is fine to not reply but then that means I'll just go forward with what I think is best and we'll see from there ("Connection, Channel and Scheduler - An Intense Trek"): https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-October/012536.html * Please do not forget about 0.3.2! *How to get it stable?*
Discussion topics: * Anybody great in the broader community to highlight this past week? https://bugs.torproject.org/24148
- [dgoulet: "Hello71" on IRC has been profiling and chasing memleaks lately, very useful imo. Also, someone submitted a patch to torsocks to fix it with Rust program #24116]
* Still a few hackerone reports that need to be triaged by the fuzzer guy. * Did we finish everything from october?
Updates: (Please use *boldface* to indicate discussion topics)
dgoulet: [might be offline during the meeting, we'll see!] Last week: - HSv3 tickets in the 032 milestone. - Review tickets in the 032 milestone. - Worked on the prop224 control port specification which I just sent on tor-dev@ today: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-November/012559.html - Worked on a tor-dev@ thread about the connection, channel and scheduler subsystems: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-November/012559.html - From that thread ^, the improved scheduler interface came out for #23993 but not yet public as I'm waiting on possibly more feedback on the thread before going further. - We had a series of bad-relays last week that needed some investigation so I had to put some times in the health of the network side of things. - Profiling of 032 relay: #24127 This week: - Continue the roadmap tasks I have that is the HS circuit timoue issues and scheduler work. - Prop224 control port work aimed at 033 so I want to start the review as soon as possible for an "early" merge. - 032 ticket review and address my tickets as well in that milestone.

https://gitlab.com/ahf/tor/blob/android/doc/HACKING/android/Simpleperf.md (if you want to play around with the tool without doing all the device stuff you can download the sample file I made last week at https://people.torproject.org/~ahf/sponsor8/sample-reports/) - Started documenting `systrace` and `dumpsys` to get memory and battery information out of the device.
