Description

deb.tpo now has obfs4proxy 0.0.4, which we’ll get in Tails 1.3.1 unless we actively prevent it. It supports ScrambleSuit bridges. We should check:

  • whether it breaks anything (e.g. with AppArmor) that works in 1.3
  • whether Tor Launcher supports it
  • whether we need to update our doc
  • whether we need to update our test suite to test ScrambleSuit bridges

Actually, right now only binary-amd64 has 0.0.4, and binary-i386 still has 0.0.3-2~tpo1. I’ve notified Lunar (who most likely has prepared these packages) and asked him to let us know before he upgrades the i386 packages to 0.0.4 as well (in which case, for the emergency 1.3.1 release, IMO we should import the 0.0.3 packages into our own repo, to avoid spending time evaluating how obfs4proxy 0.0.4 integrates into Tails.)

The i386 package has been packaged and uploaded. I ran the relevant automated tests, features/{tor_bridges,time_syncing}.feature, against an image with it, and they passed. Since there’s no regression I’ll let it install for Tails 1.3.2 instead of wasting time downgrading to 0.0.3.

I manually tested scramblesuite in the same image, and it works, and I guess we should write automated tests and document it, so I’ve created Feature #9132 and Feature #9133.
