Replying to [ticket:29981 boklm]:
> By default the Tor Browser build is done inside containers, which we run
using runc, which require root access.

think we should be able to add an option to do the builds without using
containers.
How would that help the F-Droid case given that F-Droid is taking just the
signature for an app and applying that one to the built they made
themselves? I mean the non-container build would then need to match our
build done in a containerized setup so that F-Droid would get a bit-for-
bit identical output. Maybe I am too pessimistic here but I'd be surprised
if that worked out-of-the-box...
