Hello!

We had our weekly browser meeting yesterday held in #tor-meeting2. Here comes, as usual, the IRC log

http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting2/2019/tor-meeting2.2019-08-26-17.31.lo...

and our items from the pad:

Discussion:

sysrqb: what is the expectation of our mozconfigs in tor-browser.git? (GeKo: #23656. They should be the canonical ones I think so that both local and rbm builds are in sync)

mcs and brade (will miss the meeting today): Last week: - #30429 (ESR 68 Rebase). - revised the updater patches in response to acat’s feedback (thanks!) - #29430 (Use uTLS for meek TLS camouflage in Tor Browser). - posted patches for review (but it seems that they need more work). - created ticket and patch for #31487 (Modify moat client code so it is compatible with ESR68). - created ticket and patch for #31488 (moat: support a comma-separated list of transports in Tor config). - created #31491 (clean up the old meek http helper browser profiles). - created core Tor ticket #31495 (cannot configure bridges). - Responded to Antonela's comments in #30237 (Onion Services client auth prompt). - Did a little testing for #30126 (Make Tor Browser on macOS compatible with Apple's notarization). - Did some quick testing of the new macOS ESR68 Tor Browser nightly build. - Helped with triage of incoming tickets. This week/upcoming: - #29430 (Use uTLS for meek TLS camouflage in Tor Browser). - investigate circuit display breakage when meek is used. - #30429 (ESR 68 Rebase) — rebase updater patches. - test the ESR68-based updater on Windows. - We have several family commitments this week and had planned to only be working on Tuesday and Wednesday (27-Aug and 28-Aug). - Now Tuesday 27-Aug will be a partial day because we will attend the funeral of a friend. - We will be away from keyboard on September 5th and 6th (and Monday September 2 is a U.S. holiday).

GeKo: Last week: - presentation at CCCamp (went well even though the acoustics were awful) - finished macOS toolchain (#30323) - thought more about notarization issue (#30126) - worked on windows toolchains (#28716 and #28328); final tests; patches for the former are up for review and I'll post patches for the latter later (barring unforeseen issues) - helped with the OTF proposal - again dealing with backlog This week: - release prep and building - final reviews for #30429 and #10761 - finish outstanding Windows toolchain issues - backlog

tjr: - Began the WASM-support-for-extensions work: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1576254 - Did a bunch of little mingw build patches last night - nothing urgent for Tor to worry about, they'll get to ESR68 when they get there - Still ( :( ) waiting in alloc/dealloc patch review https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547519 - This is the only outstanding esr68 problem. esr68 needs --disable-malloc which is not in-tree.

pospeselr: Last Week:

- network settings work (#31286)

I tried building release/nightly windows i686/x86_64 a couple times over the weekend and ran into some issues (first cbindgen not building which seems to be resolved, and now the firefox project pointing to a tag that supposedly doesn't exist ( tor-browser-68.0esr-9.0-1-build2 ), haven't investigate further, but is there a known working windows sku in tor-browser-build right now?) (GeKo: let me give you some bundles after the meeting; I have patches to enabled Windows nightly builds again)

sisbell: - #30665: Get Firefox 68 ESR working for Android. Additional fixes to mozconfigs. Now working for arm7, arm8, x86. Ready for integrating patches. This week: - #30665: Work with sysrqb on getting patches applied. There is a build break if we disable webrtc, so will investigate this - Add x86_64 android support
