[tor-dev] Preliminary Debian packages for meek



Source package: https://mentors.debian.net/package/meek
Binary packages: https://people.torproject.org/~infinity0/bin/

From the binaries, one should install both meek-client and xul-ext-meek-http-helper; the latter depends on xfvb and xauth.

meek-client has been modified slightly to run meek-http-helper in a headless firefox using Xfvb(1), so that it works even when run as a system service. Example torrc:

~~~~
UseBridges 1
Bridge meek 0.0.2.0:1 url=https://meek-reflect.appspot.com/ front=www.google.com
ClientTransportPlugin meek exec /usr/bin/meek-client-wrapper --log /var/log/tor/meek-client-wrapper.log --helper /usr/bin/meek-browser-helper -- /usr/bin/meek-client --log /var/log/tor/meek-client.log
~~~~

Also, to have meek-client-wrapper clean up child processes correctly one needs to apply the patch mentioned here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=779608#20

After running `service tor restart`, you'll end up with something like this:

$ sudo ls -1a /var/lib/tor/
.
..
.cache
cached-certs
cached-descriptors
cached-descriptors.new
cached-microdesc-consensus
cached-microdescs
cached-microdescs.new
.dbus
Desktop
.gconf
.gnome2
.gnome2_private
.lesshst
lock
.mozilla
state

This is not ideal but I don't know of a good way around it - suggestions welcome.
