Hi Tails!

>> We have named pr0ng the new maintainer for I2P in Tails.
>> Pr0ng has I2P, Tails, and some Debian packaging knowledge,


pr0ng here. I was last contacted via zzz(@i2p) who forwarded me the
mail from anonym. Nice to be aboard, looking forwards to maintaining
the i2p system as part of the Tails distribution. :)

>> Woo! \o/ Welcome aboard, pr0ng!

1) I was originally testing the .deb running in a Tails session from
the Ubuntu release I had knocking around, to (a) look at the
differences between an 'ordinary' installation and one from within
Tails itself and (b) make sure functionality was as expected.

Since then I have moved onto building Tails from the [0]
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/build/

Had a few issues with manual build of Tails initially, mostly due to my
immediate ignorance, but this gave me the opportunity to understand the
process for a live-build from scratch and correct some of the issues as
I went along which was a good learning process.

Now I'm happily building Tails 2.2.1 using the Puppet/Vagrant setup you
documented. I needed to go through these steps initially to feel
comfortable with the tools, requirements etc.

I believe I've repackaged the 0.9.25 to 'conform' to the Tails layout
correctly and will be rebuilding the Tails dev branch with 0.9.25 over
the next couple of days when I get another block of time, likely
mid-week ~ 20, 21st?

I've (just today) subscribed to the tails-dev@??? mailing list and
expect I'll be able to continue updates via this going forward.

Although I am able to explode the .deb from i2p (.25) and repack as
required I am not yet fully up-to-speed with how I 'release' this after
testing, so I will refer to zzz for some advice on that matter and if
you have any pointers on this, please do shout! :)

Basically, I just need to read a little more methinx. I will do the
repack and rebuild mid-week and then come back to you with a request
for assistance at that point - should this also be directed to the
mailing list? Happy to do things out in the open, just not sure of
protocol etc! Will check my mail on i2p now to see if my
subscription is 'active' and such.

Pleased to be involved - I'm a big Tails evangelist (as well of course
of i2p :)) ~ speak shortly

Cheers, pr0ng
