The original browser bundle expects to run from a bundled directory, typically under user's home. This version creates a firefox distribution with preloaded extensions and settings that functions more like an ordinary firefox installation. The approach used here could be generalized to allow specification of custom firefox distributions. Eventually, the code will be factored so that the tbb is just an instance of that more general construct (firefox base + extensions + prefs). Currently, we use the latest upstream versions of extensions and so on. Eventually we want to track the upstream bundle more closely and ideally use the exact same inputs (firefox source, extension sources). To avoid mixing up profile data, all runtime state is stored under $XDG_DATA_HOME/tor-browser. Major TODO items - Pluggable transports - Upstream TBB version parity - Avoid fetchgit - Build NoScript from source (no upstream source repo, however, must rely on third-parties) - Improved notation for packaging extensions - Feature parity with the binary bundle (apulse and runtime purity, in particular)
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
