Splitting the build of each components

For #17379 (moved), the gitian descriptors need to be split by component and converted in a new format.

Some of them have already been done for Tor Messenger:

• python
• binutils
• gcc
• mingw-w64
• macosx-toolchain
• tor-launcher

The main ones that are not yet done:

• the browser
• torbutton
• openssl
• tor
• the various pluggable transports

I started a dev branch on https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-build.git/. I made a copy of the components from tor-messenger-build that we will use in Tor Browser, and will now start adding the missing Tor Browser components.

Reviewer: N/A to N/A

openssl and libevent are now added in the dev branch.

cmake, clang and llvm are now added in the dev branch, for the OSX toolchain (doing changes similar to bug 18331).

I also started the firefox component, which now builds for Linux and OSX (I will commit it when Windows is working too).

I have now added firefox (for all platforms) and tor (for Linux and Windows. Not yet for OSX) components.

The build of the tor component on OSX is now fixed. Components for torbutton, tor-launcher, https-everywhere (which required adding support for git submodules in rbm), fonts, firefox-langpacks have now been added.

We now have all components for building a Tor Browser, except the pluggable transports, the sandbox, and the parts for the hardened version.

A README file explains how to start a build: https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-build.git/tree/README?h=dev

Moving our tickets to Feb 2017.

This is Sponsor4 work

Trac:
Sponsor: N/A to Sponsor4

The meek and obfs4 pluggable transports and the linux sandbox have been added.

The parts still missing are:

• obfsproxy 3 (python version)
• fteproxy
• the hardened version (whose future is currently discussed on tbb-dev)

Moving tickets to March

snowflake has been added, but only for linux-x86_64 for now. On linux-i686 I still have an error trying to build it:

# _/var/tmp/build/snowflake-6cecd31fd896/client
./rendezvous.go:77: undefined: webrtc.SessionDescription
./rendezvous.go:78: undefined: webrtc.SessionDescription
./rendezvous.go:118: undefined: webrtc.Configuration

I think this issue might be related to building it in an x86_64 container.

Remmove remaining tickets over to April

Replying to boklm:

snowflake has been added, but only for linux-x86_64 for now. On linux-i686 I still have an error trying to build it:

The build of snowflake is fixed on linux-i686, now that we are using linux-i686 containers to build it.

All components have now been converted to the new build system, except obfsproxy and fteproxy, for which I opened #22499 (moved).
