Description

There are about 20 interesting calls to sleep in the custom scripts shipped in Tails 0.17. Almost none would be necessary if we were using an event-based init daemon.

Most of our networking setup (HTP, security check, Tor and Vidalia restarts) would probably be much simpler and robust if we were using a modern init system.

I’ve started with the easiest bits, that is converting our custom initscripts to native systemd unit files.

@intrigeri: is this still relevant?

#9 Updated by intrigeri 2018-08-18 14:30:28

Yes, would be nice to have. Low prio though.

One low-hanging fruits: the while loop in config/chroot_local-includes/usr/lib/systemd/user/tails-wait-until-tor-has-bootstrapped.service could be replaced with a systemd.path(5) unit + service.
