Description

Some of our custom shell scripts duplicate code that should be refactored out to our shell script library (config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/lib/tails-shell-library/) that these can included instead, both for improved code clarity and the usual reasons for avoiding code duplication.

In some cases porting to Python would be better than refactoring shell code, though: Feature #11198.

This is one of the last two remaining tickets on the obsolete “Sustainability_M1” (that doesn’t mean much anymore, since we have our new roadmap). kurono, please consider moving this ticket to e.g. the 2016 or 2017 milestone, or just emptying the Target version field entirely.
