We, at Tails, should evaluate if and how this project would fit our
needs. Assuming we replace Vidalia with this extension some day, we
most probably would not want it to launch Tor, but merely control it.
Mike,
1. Any obvious showstopper, off the top of your head, regarding how
the Tor Launcher could be usable for Tails?
2. Will the "control a system-wide Tor instance, that possibly is
started or restarted after the Torbrowser" usecase be supported?
Starting points to look into this:
* ticket:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6009
* source:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-launcher.git
I've created todo/Tor_Launcher to track this.
Cheers,
