Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 19:00:12 <MeetBot> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic. 19:00:41 <pili> so, I haven't prepared much for today unfortunately, but we should have a TBA alpha hitting sometime this week (fingers crossed) 19:01:12 <pili> I guess the Orbot integration is the main piece that we're waiting for 19:01:22 <pili> anyone have any more details on that? :) 19:01:35 <GeKo> well, i think that's basically done 19:01:48 <antonela> matt and i we worked together on #28329 19:01:52 <antonela> https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28329#comment:9 19:01:55 <GeKo> issues updates related popped up 19:02:14 <GeKo> but i hope we have some workarounds here to, today 19:02:19 <antonela> that in tba or tb? 19:02:21 <pili> yup, it's looking nice antonela :) 19:02:24 <GeKo> tba 19:02:29 <antonela> kk 19:02:40 <pili> is this with the torbutton extension or something else? 19:02:44 <GeKo> so i hope we can start a build tomorrow morning european time 19:02:49 <pili> I seem to remember reading something today :) 19:02:56 <GeKo> yes 19:03:23 <GeKo> the problem is we ship torbutton now in a new way, tighter integrated in the browser code 19:03:38 <GeKo> but the old torbutton is not deleted and still hangs around after update 19:03:57 <GeKo> in fact tba does not pick up the tighter integrated one up for that reason 19:04:07 <GeKo> and is still happily using the old one 19:04:41 <pili> yikes 19:04:51 <pili> ok 19:04:55 <pili> are we going to do a TB 8.5 alpha release or just TBA? I know last release meeting we were considering doing both 19:05:04 <GeKo> yeah both 19:05:13 <GeKo> i am already feeling sorry for the network team folks 19:05:26 <GeKo> because they need the alpha for testing the tor alpha 19:05:54 <GeKo> and this is getting dragged as we are hitting new mobile problems 19:06:19 <GeKo> fwiw for tba we'll do a version number jump straight to 8.5a5 19:06:37 <GeKo> now that we have the integration into our tor-browser-build process 19:06:42 <pili> k, great 19:06:50 <GeKo> and releases on the same day for alphas across all platforms 19:07:12 <pili> so releasing both TBA8.5a5 and TBB8.5a5 19:07:13 <GeKo> (which is why the desktop ones the network team needs is blocked on the mobile work) 19:07:13 <pili> ? 19:07:34 <GeKo> there is only Tor Browser 8.5a5 from now on :) 19:07:45 <GeKo> on fours platforms: windows, macos, linux and android 19:07:46 <pili> sure ;) 19:07:56 <pili> it's nice we got here! 19:08:28 <pili> any other highlights that are coming on 8.5a5? 19:08:54 <GeKo> #26690 for mobile 19:09:39 <antonela> is done? 19:09:52 <GeKo> and #26540 and #22343 19:10:05 <GeKo> antonela: if we get the icon issue sorted out, great 19:10:15 <GeKo> but i pick the patch without it if needed 19:10:26 <antonela> i shared with igt0 the assets yesterday 19:10:30 <GeKo> and we can open a new ticket and ship the proper thing in the next release 19:10:34 <GeKo> yeah 19:10:42 <antonela> seems like the default lock has a white border, super weird 19:10:51 <antonela> so i replicated that border and seems done now 19:11:11 <GeKo> great 19:11:42 <sstevenson> hey everyone sorry i’m late 19:11:56 <antonela> hey sstevenson 19:12:30 <pili> hi sstevenson no worries :) 19:13:21 <pili> great, anything else anyone wants to comment on for the release next week?
