Link to Linus's nightly builds from somewhere?

Tor Browser has nightly builds! Did you know?

If you ask search engines for "tor browser nightly" or "tor browser nightly builds", you won't find them though.

I found the link in an old tbb-dev archive. Here it is: https://people.torproject.org/~linus/builds/

Unless, who knows, maybe that is not the best link to use.

In any case, it would seem smart to have a way for users to find this directory.

added component::webpages/website owner::linda priority::medium resolution::fixed severity::normal status::closed type::enhancement ux-team website-content labels

Sounds like it would fit on https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en. We could have a https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en#downloads-nightly anchor on the page pointing to the a link/section below the sandbox one.

Is this something we could implement already or we want some ux-team love on how to do it properly?

These don't actually seem to be that nightly. Last build was 2017-06-19 that I can see.

Yes, linus' nightly build machine is not yet using the new build system, so there is no new nightly builds anymore at that URL.

We have a new nightly builds URL: http://f4amtbsowhix7rrf.onion/tor-browser-builds/ Which is linked from: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Hacking#NightlyBuilds

Replying to boklm:

Any chance that hidden service could also have rsync so it could be mirrored into dist.torproject.org or similar automatically?

I added rsync to that hidden service, so rsync://f4amtbsowhix7rrf.onion/tor-browser-builds/ should be working now.

Awesome! That was quick.

I guess we need a new ticket to get this pulled off to somewhere (like dist.tpo). I have no idea who would be responsible for that.

irl that would be the sysadmin team I suppose. Maybe we could also have a ci job that does that w/ the buids?

I would just cron job an rsync at a sensible time. It's not as instant, but it'd be perhaps less prone to breakage.
