Done.

Also done. Whether my proposed changes are too risky and invasive for a
point release someone else will have to decide, but I think it should
be fine.
Much longer version below:
The consensus has been that that it would be good to require a user to
explicitly acknowledge that they want access to I2P in order for it to
be easily accessible within the system. From what I understand, having
it as an option in the greeter isn't possible until the new greeter is
available. Therefore, I implemented the boot option. At the same time I
tightened up the firewall rules. These changes are available in
http://repo.or.cz/w/tails/kytv.git feature/i2p-bootparam
and attached to this email in the form of four patches. The changes in
this branch (currently) apply cleanly to the stable & devel branches.
With these changes, after booting Tails without any particular options
specified at the boot prompt, I2P will not visible in the interface and
the I2P rules granting access will not be applied. That is, when "i2p"
is not given at the boot prompt:
- the I2P binaries will not be accessible from the normal location
at /usr/share/i2p
- the entry will not be visible in the Internet/Network menu.
- the rules granting the i2psvc user access are not activated
- new rules which DENY i2psvc from accessing the LAN are applied. As
noted above, these DENY rules will be applied whether or not the
"i2p" boot parameter is given
If the string "i2p" is added to the boot prompt:
- the I2P menu entry returns
- the installation directory /usr/share/i2p returns
- the firewall rules which grant the i2psvc user access to the
internet are enabled.
- the rules that allow the amnesia user to access the I2P
services are enabled.
- a few whitelisted ports for the i2psvc user are opened on the
loopback device:
+ the TorDNS ports
+ control ports used by the Tanuki Java Service Wrapper, which is
in turn used by I2P
+ the ports for the I2P services
Other changes:
- plugins will be disabled within I2P. Plugins, without persistence
aren't very useful. Now that I know the switch to disable them,
let's do it. (Users that want to use them can easily enable them)
- documentation updates (more to come, but maybe not for these
changes?)
- the webmail app is changed to keep emails on the mail server.
The default setting was changed upstream to store emails
locally.(I'm submitting this one since it's low risk for Tails and
it greatly improves user experience/expectations). This change
depends on I2P 0.9.14 or newer. A point release (0.9.14.1) should
be ready a few days before the Tails freeze.
If these changes are acceptable, please consider them for inclusion in
the upcoming 1.1.1 release. Is there anything else that is desirable
with respect to I2P & 1.1.1?
(I presume that the separate browser will be too much for a point
release, but I'm going to start on that next for (potential) inclusion
in 1.2.)

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add an I2P boot parameter
During the build process, the following are moved to /usr/share/tails:
- /usr/share/i2p
- /usr/sbin/wrapper to /usr/share/tails/i2p
- /usr/share/applications/i2p.desktop to /usr/share/tails/i2p
The I2P binaries are changed to be owned by i2psvc:i2psvc to prevent it
being run from the new location under /usr/share/tails/i2p.
If the string 'i2p' is entered on at the boot prompt, these files are
returned to ther original locations, making I2P accessible. Also, the
I2P sudoers file is written to the system, allowing the amnesia user to
run tails-start-i2p as the i2psvc user.

- allow I2P access to the Internet
The ACCEPT rules will only be enabled when the string 'i2p' is passed at

The rules which DENY or REJECT access for the 'i2psvc' user will always
be applied.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] disable I2P plugins
Plugins for I2P--without using persistence--don't make much sense.
A default of 'disable' here may also eliminate a possible attack vector.
I know of some Tails users that use I2P-Bote, a mail-like application
available as an I2P plugin, and they manually enable persistence for
I2P. A user that is able to manually enable persistence can easily
re-enable plugin support, if desired.
